"On Friday, Argentina's highest criminal court found Iran responsible for ordering the 1992 terrorist attack on Israel's embassy in Buenos Aires and the 1994 terrorist attack on the Argentinian Israelite Mutual Association Jewish center. We praise the enormous courage of the Argentinian officials and judges working to hold Iran and its associates accountable and deliver transparency to the victims.
