Argentina Court Holds Iran Responsible for 1994 Jewish Center Bombing

Argentina's highest criminal court has attributed the 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish community center in Buenos Aires to Iran, declaring it a "crime against humanity" and paving the way for victims' families to seek justice. The ruling, which holds Hezbollah militants responsible for the attack, has been hailed as historic by Argentina's Jewish community, but some express frustration over the decades-long delay in holding the perpetrators accountable. The court's decision calls for legal reforms to allow the accused suspects to be tried in absentia, as Iran has consistently denied involvement and refused to turn over suspects.

Argentine Court Holds Iran and Hezbollah Responsible for 1990s Terror Attacks

Argentina's highest criminal court has blamed Iran for the 1994 bombing of a Jewish center in Buenos Aires, declaring it a "crime against humanity" and paving the way for victims' families to seek justice. The court ruled that the attack was carried out by Hezbollah in retaliation for Argentina reneging on a nuclear cooperation deal with Iran. While the ruling was celebrated as historic, it failed to provide concrete evidence of Iran's direct involvement, and the case remains open after 30 years of setbacks and scandals.

Argentina Holds Iran and Hezbollah Responsible for 1990s Terror Attacks on Israeli Targets

The Federal Court of Criminal Cassation in Argentina ruled that Iran and Hezbollah were responsible for the 1994 AMIA and 1992 Israeli embassy bombings, citing their involvement in planning, financing, and executing the attacks. High-level Iranian officials and Hezbollah operatives have Interpol arrest warrants for suspected involvement. The court also found that former Argentine officials had tampered with evidence and covered up the true culprits of the crime. President Javier Milei's office celebrated the ruling, emphasizing that it put an end to decades of delays and cover-ups. However, some feel that the whole truth has not yet come out, as much evidence has been lost and destroyed.
