Iran may appoint ambassador to Argentina’
TEHRAN, Aug. 17 (MNA) -- Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Ali Ahani has expressed hope that Tehran will appoint an ambassador to Buenos Aires in the near future.
Speaking to the Brazilian newspaper Folha de Sao Paulo in Brasilia, Ahani also expressed hope that the two countries would clear up the misunderstandings over the bombing of the Argentine Israeli Mutual Association (AMIA) building in 1994.
The case of the AMIA attack has remained a mystery for 17 years, and no significant information has been provided by the Argentine government on the main cause of the incident or the real culprits.
However, the Argentine government leveled false allegations against the Lebanese Hezbollah and Iran that it has never been able to prove.
Ahani said Argentine judicial officials are suppressing certain realities and they only accused Iranian officials based on unfounded allegations.
He noted that Iran condemned the tragedy, expressed condolences to the families of the victims, and also offered to help identify the culprits.
He went on to say that the issue damaged relations between the two countries, adding that Argentina is the only country in Latin America where Iran has a charge d’affaires rather than an ambassador.
On Iran-Brazil ties, he said there has been no change in the relations between the two nations, adding that of course Tehran openly expressed its view about Brazil’s vote against Iran at the UN Human Rights Council.
In March, Brazil voted in favor of a proposal by the U.S. to appoint a rapporteur to monitor human rights in Iran.
Asked why Iran supports uprisings in certain Arab countries but not in Syria, Ahani said demonstrators in Egypt and Bahrain held peaceful rallies while protestors in Syria have acted violently and have killed over 1,500 members of the security forces so far.
In addition, Iran has information that proves the people behind Syria’s protests are receiving help from outside of the country, and it is obvious that the Mossad supports these protestors, he stated.
