Iran’s Laughable Offer

As Lewis Carroll’s Alice might have said, the relationship between Argentina and Iran just keeps getting “curiouser and curiouser.”

To review the history: In 1992 and 1994, respectively, Iranian-backed terrorists blew up the Israeli embassy and the AMIA Jewish community center in Buenos Aires. These attacks killed a combined total of 114 people and wounded hundreds more. The proof of Tehran’s complicity is overwhelming: Interpol has outstanding arrest warrants for several high-profile Iranians, and Argentina has spent years demanding that the perpetrators be brought to justice. (Writing in the Jerusalem Post last week, Matthew Levitt provided a good summary of the evidence linking Iranian regime officials to the 1994 AMIA bombing.)
