The court said the attack came in retaliation for Argentina reneging on a nuclear cooperation deal with Tehran. Alleging Iran\u2019s \u201cpolitical and strategic\u201d role in the bombing, the Argentine court paved the way for victims\u2019 families to bring lawsuits against the Islamic Republic. In the past three decades, Iran has not turned over citizens convicted in Argentina. Interpol arrest warrants have led nowhere. \u201cThe significance of these grave human rights violations for the international community as a whole invokes a state\u2019s duty to provide judicial protection,\u201d the ruling said, declaring the bombing of the Argentine Jewish Mutual Aid Association community center a \u201ccrime against humanity.\u201d\u00a0 See also\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.timesofisrael.com\/argentina-court-blames-iran-for-1990s-terror-attacks-on-israeli-embassy-amia-center\/\">\u201cArgentina court blames Iran for 1990s terror attacks on Israeli embassy, AMIA center,\u201d<\/a> Times of Israel, 4-12-24.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/04\/12\/world\/middleeast\/iran-israel-military-weapons.html\">\u201cA Look at Iran\u2019s Military Capabilities,\u201d<\/a> NYT, 4-12-24.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/world\/middle-east\/u-s-pledges-to-defend-israel-in-case-of-iranian-attack-5fb2f215\">\u201cU.S. Pledges to Defend Israel in Case of Iranian Attack,\u201d<\/a> WSJ, 4-12-24.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/04\/12\/world\/middleeast\/iran-attack-american-targets-israel.html\">\u201cU.S. Targets Unlikely to Be on List in Possible Iranian Attack, Officials Say,\u201d<\/a> NYT, 4-12-24.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, this began because of the 1979 Revolution, then the continued push to spread the Shia Crescent and through proxies the spread of terror and intimidation (including the creation of Hezbollah), then the 2011 Syria civil war with Iran\u2019s response of snipers and IRGC and Quds Force, and most recently the overt placement of Iranian military personnel and use of the \u201cconsulate\u201d in Damascus.\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/world\/middle-east\/iranian-attack-expected-on-israel-in-next-two-days-42b0537c\">\u201cU.S. Moves Warships to Defend Israel in Case of Iranian Attack,\u201d<\/a> WSJ, 4-12-24.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Big News.\u00a0 And may initiate more attacks by the Regime against Argentina.\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cArgentine court blames Iran and Hezbollah for deadly 1994 Jewish center bombing,\u201d AP, 4-12-24.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cArgentina\u2019s highest criminal court reported a new development Thursday in the elusive quest for justice in the deadliest attack in the country\u2019s history \u2014 the 1994 bombing of a Jewish &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/coatesn\/2024\/04\/12\/5924\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2819,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2532],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5924","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-update"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/coatesn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5924","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/coatesn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/coatesn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/coatesn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2819"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/coatesn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5924"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/coatesn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5924\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5951,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/coatesn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5924\/revisions\/5951"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/coatesn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5924"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/coatesn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5924"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/coatesn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5924"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
