Iran International:

Argentina's president said Wednesday that his government will promote a law that will allow accused persons to be tried in absentia for grave crimes, paving the way for the prosecution of Iranian leaders for an attack against a Jewish center 30 years ago.

"Today we chose to speak out, not stay silent," Milei said in an address on Wednesday evening. "We're raising our voice, not folding our arms. We choose life, because anything else is making a game out of death."

In April, Argentina's top criminal court blamed Iran for the attack, saying it was carried out by Hezbollah militants responding to "a political and strategic design" by Iran.

Javier Milei said in his Wednesday speech that the law will make it possible "to try the leaders of the Iranian regime involved in the bombing."

"While they may never be able to serve a sentence, they will not be able to escape the eternal condemnation of a free court proving their guilt to the entire world."

On the morning of July 18, 1994, an explosives-laden truck exploded outside the Argentine Israeli Mutual Association (AMIA) building in Buenos Aires.

Eighty-five people were killed in the deadliest attack ever in Argentina's history which came two years after the 1992 bombing of the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires that killed 29.
