BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (JTA) – Argentina’s government has expressed concern that the Iranian nuclear deal will benefit an Iranian suspect in the AMIA Jewish center bombing. Foreign Minister Hector Timmerman, in a letter sent to U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and European Union foreign affairs chief Federica Mogherini, said he was worried about the possibility that the arrest warrant against Iran’s former defense minister, Ahmad Vahidi, will be lifted due to the agreement reached earlier this month between Iran and world powers. Vahidi is under an international arrest warrant issued by Interpol in connection with the deadly 1994 bombing of the Buenos Aires center. The Wall Street Journal reported earlier this week that “the E.U.’s planned delisting of Tehran’s former minister of defense, retired Brig. Gen. Ahmad Vahidi, is among a group of Iranian military officers, nuclear scientists and defense institutions set to be rehabilitated internationally in the wake of the nuclear accord.”

Timmerman wrote in his letter: “I would be grateful if you could advise us whether, as a result of the agreed conditions, scope and effects of the commitment assumed by the European Union or by any other signatory to the deal, individuals or actions linked to the AMIA attack would be included.” Timmerman, who is Jewish, in February unsuccessfully asked U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry to include the AMIA attack in the negotiations with Iran.
