- An editorial in the state-affiliated Tehran Times said President Javier Milei crossed an “unforgivable red line” and warned Iran must craft a “proportionate response.”
- Milei labeled Iran “our enemy” in a March 9 address in New York and, at a March 17 memorial in Buenos Aires, reaffirmed alignment with the United States and Israel.
- Argentine officials marked the 34th anniversary of the 1992 Israeli embassy bombing, restating that national courts in 2024 held Iran and Hezbollah responsible for the 1990s attacks.
- The Tehran Times denied Iranian involvement in the 1992 and 1994 bombings and described Argentine judicial findings as false and part of an Iranophobia campaign.
- Argentina has authorized trials in absentia and a prosecutor has sought indictments for 10 Iranian and Lebanese suspects, including Ahmad Vahidi, as tensions continue to rise.
