TEHRAN – Since Javier Miley came to power in January 2024, the Argentine government has undergone a severe change in international relations policy, abandoning its traditional stance of neutrality and multilateralism in favour of cooperation between the Zionist regime and the United States.
Over the past year and a half, Mailey has constructed a foreign policy of hostility towards countries that oppose the hegemonic world order, challenge the status quo, and oppose Israel, deliberately turning a blind eye to the reality that unfolds in the international stages of Western Asia.
On one of his first official foreign trips, Mairei visited occupied Palestinian territory and announced that Argentina would move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Al-Kud. Throughout this period, despite the crimes of the Zionist regime in Gaza and the massacre of Palestinian women and children, he framed the actions as a “defense of democracy” and repeatedly argued that Israel was “on the forefront of defending Western civilization.” In line with this, his government took another step towards softening Israel by designating Hamas as a terrorist organisation in June 2024, irrationally claiming that Israel has not committed any extreme measures in Gaza.
Argentina’s far-right government has also questioned the International Court of War Crimes ruling, opposed efforts to prosecute the Zionist regime’s prime minister and war minister, effectively monitoring alongside Israeli war criminals. Its support for the criminal acts of the Zionist regime at the UN General Assembly further demonstrated unconditional loyalty to this ruthless, child-killing regime.
This irrational approach has reached such extreme that President Mairay saw countries critical of the crimes of the Zionist regime as enemies, and framing such hostility as ideological principles.
In this context, following the aggressive attacks on Iran’s national sovereignty and territorial integrity of Zionist regime, the Argentine president has distorted the facts with reckless and internationally unusual moves, denounced Iran’s critical missile response. Israeli soldiers with open arms.
This is not the first time Mairi has defended the Zionist regime and opposed Iran. After Operation True Promise I, he similarly denounced Iran for its defensive actions. In a recent interview with RT, he irrationally declared Iran as “Argentina’s enemy,” linking it based on the suspicious bombings of the 1990s at the Amia Jewish Centre in Buenos Aires and the Israeli Embassy.
The history of friendship, not hostility
The 120-year history of bilateral relations proves that Iran and Argentina were not enemies. Prior to the 1994 AMIA incident, relations between the two countries were consistently friendly and characterized by mutual respect and goodwill. Neither Iranians nor Argentineans hold negative views of each other. Public opinion in both countries has always spoken positively about their opponents.
For Iran, Argentina was a major supplier of food and agricultural products, and for Argentina it was a reliable, long-term and profitable market. It was logical for the two countries to maintain friendly relations. The question is, who will benefit from damaging this relationship?
From the day of the Amia bombing on July 17, 1994, media allied with Zionists and the US pointed their fingers at Iran and Hezbollah, making unfounded claims about their involvement. Over the past 30 years, Argentine judiciary has focused solely on proving this story, ignoring other possibilities and potential actors.
It relies on the destruction of important evidence by Judge Galeano, the Argentine police and intelligence (the side), bribes to witnesses and defendants, giving false testimony, and statements of dishonest individuals seeking asylum by lying.
In a lawsuit contaminated by evidence from tampering, the three decades of forged claims have become a tool for Argentine Zionist elements, a tool to distract global attention from the crimes of the Gaza regime and the unattacked attacks on Iran in a 12-day war, with murderers appearing as victims and twisting the story.
Calling for responsibility
President Milei hopes he is adopting a realistic, responsible, and national interest-driven approach that is not influenced by political theatre or Zionist lobbying groups. He should not sacrifice Argentina’s interests for irrational and illogical support for actors seeking to destroy bilateral relations. History judges those with oppressors around justice.
