Argentina Court Concludes Iran Responsible for 1994 AMIA Bombing
The ruling marks a pivotal moment in the long-standing case, potentially allowing victims' families to seek justice internationally.
- An Argentine court has officially attributed the 1994 AMIA bombing in Buenos Aires, which killed 85 people, to Iran and Hezbollah.
- The court described the attack as a retaliatory act by Iran following Argentina's cancellation of nuclear cooperation agreements in the 1980s.
- Victims' families may now pursue legal action against Iran, with potential cases at the International Criminal Court.
- The ruling coincides with increased tensions as Israel's Foreign Minister urges Argentina to designate Iran's Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist organization.
- This landmark decision comes nearly 30 years after the attack and follows years of investigations marred by delays and controversies.
