Argentine judge charges 7 Iranians and 1 Lebanese national over 1994 AMIA bombing

An Argentine judge has issued indictments against seven former officials of the regime ruling Iran and a Lebanese national, identified as a member of Hezbollah, for their alleged involvement in the 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish center in Buenos Aires. The terrorist attack, which claimed 85 lives, remains one of the deadliest incidents in Argentine history. According to the Times of Israel, the charges were filed in absentia and may pave the way for a trial in this long-standing case. The Iranian defendants held high-ranking positions within the regime ruling Iran at the time of the attack. Argentine judicial authorities have long accused the regime of orchestrating the bombing, an allegation that Tehran has consistently denied.
