Interpol Issues Arrest Warrant for Iranian Minister Over 1994 Buenos Aires Bombing
Iran condemns Argentina's renewed efforts to arrest Interior Minister Ahmad Vahidi, calling the international requests 'illegal and based on lies'.
- Interpol issued a red notice for the arrest of Ahmad Vahidi, Iran's Interior Minister, for his alleged role in the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires.
- Argentina accuses Vahidi of involvement in the attack that killed 85 people, with recent court rulings supporting these claims.
- Iran's Foreign Ministry criticizes Argentina's actions, denying any wrongdoing and accusing them of making baseless accusations.
- The request for Vahidi's arrest complicates his international travel, forcing him to return to Iran abruptly from a trip to Southeast Asia.
- Despite numerous attempts, Argentina has struggled to secure the arrest of Iranian officials implicated in the bombings, facing obstacles and alleged government cover-ups.
