Israeli fury over leaked Iranian diplomatic cable

Read Time:59 Second

BUENOS AIRES – Israeli diplomats are demanding an explanation from the Argentinian government after a leaked diplomatic cable sent by Iran which suggests that: Argentina would stop investigating the bombing of the newspaper Perfil and a Jewish community center in 1994, if trade ties between Iran and Argentina improved.

A car bomb exploded outside a Jewish community center known as the AMIA on 18 July 1994, killing 85 people. Twenty-nine people were killed two years earlier when a bomb destroyed the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires. Argentina, Israel and the US have blamed Iran for the bombings.

The report about deal appeared on Saturday in Argentine media. The newspaper Perfil quoted a leaked Iranian diplomatic cable that detailed the offer.

The cable reportedly said: “Argentina is no longer interested in solving those two attacks, but in exchange prefers improving its economic relations with Iran”.

According to Perfil, Argentine Foreign Minister Hector Timerman made the offer through Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in a meeting in Syria in January.

Israeli foreign ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor said Israel wanted “official clarifications by the Argentinian Foreign Ministry concerning the article”.

Israel are very hard to please. After almost 20 years, perhaps it is time to drop an investigation. The perps could be dead by now.
