‘Zionist regime aims to thwart Iran-LatAm ties’
A top Iranian diplomat says Zionist regime uses the case of 1994 AMIA Jewish center bombing in the Argentinean capital, Buenos Aires, to obstruct the development of relations between Iran and Latin American states.
Ramin Mehmanparast said in an interview with IRNA on Saturday “Iran has been charged of being connected with the AMIA incident by a regime which pursues state terrorism. The Zionist regime of Israel has been trying hard to disrupt Iran’s regular activities within Latin American countries under the pretext of AMIA bombing incident.”
Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman added that the Zionist regime has been trying to falsely accuse the Islamic Republic of being involved in terrorist activities despite the fact that the Iranian nation is the biggest victim of terrorism and has always made every effort to eliminate this sinister phenomenon.
Mehmanparast noted “The Zionist regime is still one of the biggest threats to security and stability in all regions including Latin America and this illegitimate regime should not be allowed to have a negative impact on the relations between Iran and the Latin American countries.”
He also pointed to the recent agreement between Iran and Argentina to set up an international truth commission to investigate the AMIA incident, saying that for the first time efforts are being made to shed light on the truth behind the AMIA incident.
