Suspected murder of the Argentine prosecutors and the role of the Iranian regime in international terrorism
On January 18th 2015, Alberto Nisman, the Argentine prosecutor in charge of the investigation of the bombing of the Argentine Jewish Center in Buenos Aires, was found dead in suspicious circumstances in his apartment. The 1994 blast left 85 dead and hundreds wounded. In the early stages of the investigation into the Jewish center bombing, a number of the high Iranian regime officials were suspected.
In particular, Rafsanjani, Ali Fallahian, the regime’s Minister of Intelligence and Security at the time, Ahmad Vahidi, the former commander of the Quds Force and Ahmadinejad’s Defense Minister, Ali Akbar Velayati, the regime’s Foreign Minister at the time, and Mullah Rabbani, the Iranian regime’s cultural attaché at the Iranian embassy in Argentina, were all mentioned in the investigation.
After a while, Carlos Menem – then Argentine president, was heavily bribed and was asked to pervert the legal course of the investigation and the file was subsequently shelved for a while.
After President Menem, Alberto Nisman took charge of the case, calling for the officials in the Iranian regime who were named to be arrested. In 2006, the arrest warrants were issued by a judge and the Interpol listed their names in their arrest order.
With President Cristina Fernandez in office, once again an orchestrated effort was in place to dilute the investigation.
On January 14th 2014, Alberto Nisman accused the Argentine president and Héctor Timerman – the Minister of Foreign Relations – of secret negotiations with the Iranian regime to discredit Iran’s involvement in the bombing in exchange for lucrative contracts.
He was planning to submit a 300-page file including documents, reports and recordings to the closed session of Congress on January 19th 2015.
In early 2013, the Fernandez government agreed to form a fact-finding committee with Iran in regard to the 1994 bombing. In this agreement the representatives of Judge Alberto Nisman were not granted permission to interview the accused Iranian officials. The goal was clearly aimed at deviating the focus from Iran.
According to Nisman, the formation of this committee was the result of the hidden deals between the governments of Argentina and Iran. The Argentine Police has stated that the initial investigation into Judge Nisman’s death gravitates toward suicide. But the Argentine opposition immediately rejected the suicide claim and called it a “murder”.
In the last few days, Nisman repeatedly mentioned to his friends and relatives that “I am playing with my life”. He was repeatedly threatened.
There is no doubt that the Iranian regime is responsible for the 1994 explosion and the finger points to the highest officials of this regime.
The murder of Judge Nisman undoubtedly serves the purpose of darkening the truth and is an attempt to ignore the Iranian regime’s role in the bombing, hence paving the way for deals and contracts.
The Iranian regime is the central banker of terrorism and if it’s involvement in various terrorist activities around the world could be investigated impartially, undoubtedly the role of many high regime officials in these terrorist activities will become apparent.
Exporting terrorism is a vital policy of the Iranian regime; a tool that will never be abandoned. The futile appeasement policy of the West towards Iran has in fact encouraged it to continue with and increase its terrorism-supported policies in the region and beyond. The Iranian Resistance calls for an independent and impartial international investigation into the causes of Judge Nisman’s death. Undoubtedly. The Iranian regime is the first beneficiary of his death.
