TEHRAN -- Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad-Ali Hosseini has dismissed Argentine President Nestor Kirchner’s accusations about the AMIA bombing.

In a press briefing here on Thursday, Hosseini denounced the Argentine president’s remarks during his address to the UN General Assembly in which he falsely accused Iran of not cooperating in the investigation into the AMIA case.
On July 18, 1994, 85 people were killed when the AMIA Jewish community center of Buenos Aires was bombed, and the case has never been solved.
Pointing out that Argentine officials have been informed that the Iranian Judiciary has agreed to the establishment of rogatory commissions, Hosseini said that Kirchner’s statement shows that either he does not have access to the most recent information or he is under the influence of Argentina’s electoral climate and Zionist pressure.
Due to the endemic corruption of the Argentine judicial system, the guilty parties have never been caught or punished in the 13 years since the incident, he observed.
Although the two countries have never signed a judicial cooperation treaty, the Islamic Republic of Iran has announced that it is prepared to establish a joint committee with Argentina to investigate the case, Hosseini stated.
He went on to say that the warmongering powers and aggressive Zionist groups are making every effort to ensure that Iran-Argentina ties remain chilly, adding that they believe that solving the AMIA case would not be in their interests
