Former Iranian Intelligence Minister Ali Fallahian is shown in this file picture from May 2001. Fallahian is one of four Iranian officials sought by Argentine authorities in connection with the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community centre in which 85 people died. An Argentine federal judge issued an arrest warrant through Interpol for the four men on March 7. Iran's foreign ministry denied any Iranian involvement in the bomb attack. Fallahian, who is also wanted by German authorities in connection with the 1992 murder of four Kurdish dissidents in Berlin, ran for president in 2001 and is currently a member of Iran's Assembly of Experts - a body of clerics which selects the Islamic Republic's supreme leader.

The determination of the prosecutor, the press and the Iranian exile community made all the difference in Germany, where the courts ruled against Iran’s highest leaders.

The Argentine prosecutor Alberto Nisman died mysteriously in January while trying to prove that the Argentine government helped cover up Iran’s responsibility for the horrific bombing of a Jewish center in Buenos Aires more than 20 years ago. On Thursday, the country’s federal appeals court dismissed Nisman’s accusations, as many expected it would. Whatever the legal merits of Nisman’s arguments, it has been clear for a very long time now that the case against Iran would go nowhere in Argentina.

Elsewhere in the world, however, the cause of justice has been better served.

When, in April 1993, Bruno Jost submitted his indictment implicating Tehran, naming Fallahian the chief architect of the crime, rumors spread that the timing of his findings was part of a larger conspiracy to halt the “Critical Dialogue” between Iran and the West. Comparable to the current nuclear negotiations, the Dialogue was a series of talks, which Europe had begun with Iran weeks before the assassinations took place.
