SAEDNEWS: As Argentina’s far-right government under Javier Milei embraces a pro-Israel stance, decades-old allegations linking Iran to the AMIA bombing are weaponized to rewrite history and undermine bilateral ties.
According to Saed News, Argentina’s foreign policy has undergone a dramatic transformation since Javier Milei assumed office in January 2024, shifting from a traditionally neutral, multilateral approach to a staunch alignment with Israel and the United States. This pivot has revived and distorted the narrative surrounding the 1994 AMIA bombing—a tragic attack on a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires—casting Iran as the villain despite a lack of conclusive evidence.
Milei’s government has aggressively framed Israel’s military actions in Gaza as “defending democracy,” designating Hamas a terrorist organization, and dismissing international calls to hold Israeli officials accountable for alleged war crimes. This rhetorical shift extends to Iran, which Milei labels an “enemy of Argentina,” citing unproven links to the AMIA and Israeli embassy bombings. Such accusations contradict the historically amicable ties between Tehran and Buenos Aires, marked by longstanding trade and mutual respect.
The AMIA investigation, now spanning three decades, has been mired in controversy. Accusations of destroyed evidence, coerced testimonies, and judicial misconduct have cast doubt on the legitimacy of the official narrative blaming Iran and Hezbollah. Critics argue that these irregularities serve the political interests of Zionist-aligned factions aiming to distract from Israel’s ongoing actions in Gaza and its recent offensive against Iran.
Amid this charged atmosphere, Saed News calls for Argentina’s leadership to reconsider its foreign policy, advocating for an approach grounded in objective truth and national interest rather than ideological allegiance. The true victims of the AMIA tragedy deserve justice—not a revisionist history that flips the roles of victim and aggressor. History, the report warns, will judge harshly those who forsake justice for political expediency.
