"Argentina Seeks Clarification on Bolivia's Defense Pact with Iran"

Argentina and members of Bolivia's opposition are demanding explanations after Bolivia sealed a defense agreement with Iran, raising concerns about Iran's influence in the region. Argentina, where prosecutors have accused Iranian officials of being behind the 1994 AMIA bombing, has sent a note to the Bolivian embassy requesting information about the agreement. The agreement has also drawn criticism from the DAIA, an organization representing Argentina's Jewish community, due to Iran's ties to Hezbollah. Bolivia and Iran had a close relationship during the government of President Evo Morales, causing diplomatic tensions with Argentina.
