Argentina marks the anniversary of the deadliest terrorist attack in its history.
On July 18, 1994, a suicide bomber drove an explosives-laden vehicle into the AMIA Jewish community center in Buenos Aires, killing 85 people and wounding more than 300.
Argentine investigators and courts have determined that Iran planned and financed the attack, while Hezbollah carried it out. The bombing targeted the heart of Argentina’s Jewish community and remains one of the clearest examples of Iran’s global terrorist network operating far beyond the Middle East.
Three decades later, many of those accused of organizing the massacre have still not faced justice. The anniversary is a reminder that Iran and Hezbollah have long treated Jewish communities worldwide as legitimate targets—and that their terrorism did not begin with the current war.
