Iran-Argentina Relations

Tehran has condemned as unfounded allegations leveled by Argentine officials that Iranian nationals had been involved in the bombing of a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires in the 1990s.

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Nasser Kanaani strongly condemned an "illegal demand" by some Argentine judges regarding the Iranian nationals in the Amia bombing case, saying his demand is based on lies and fabrications.

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Nasser Kanaani has rejected an anti-Tehran ruling by Argentina’s federal court over the AMIA case, the deadly attack against a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires in 1994, stressing that the ruling was aimed at political purposes.

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Nasser Kanaani announced the release of all the five Iranian crew members of the Venezuelan plane seized by Argentina last June.

Iran has rejected the Argentine president’s claim that Tehran has not cooperated with Buenos Aires in the case of the bombing of AMIA building back in the 1990s, saying it will arrange a meeting between the two countries’ judiciaries to probe into the case.

Iranian foreign ministry spokesman has rejected the ‘worn-out’ and ‘worthless’ claims raised by the Israeli regime’s premier about the 1990s’ bombings in the Argentine capital.
