- He compared Iran to Nazi Germany, describing an expansionist threat and warning that an Iranian nuclear weapon would be a point of no return.
- Wahnish characterized the current fighting in the Middle East as a global reconfiguration and called it “a war to bring peace and stability.”
- He condemned the 2013 memorandum with Iran as a “black stain” in Argentina’s record and contrasted it with the current government’s stance.
