Former Iranian Diplomat Comments on US-Iran Conflict

I want the Argentine people,” he stated in an interview with the streaming channel AZZ, as reported by the Argentine News Agency. Beyond that, he said it would be “very good for the Argentine government to stand on the side of truth” in the context of the international armed conflict between the United States and Israel on one side, and Iran on the other. Rabbani acknowledged that his country “has suffered a great loss” with the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the supreme leader who was killed last February 28 in an American bombing raid in Tehran, the country's capital. The former cultural attaché described him as “a great political sage, a hero, and a follower of all the prophets of God,” and highlighted that “from the first US attack, the supreme leader remained active in fulfilling his work responsibilities.” He emphasized that the place where he was at the time of the assassination “did not have a special shelter” and that “it was a public place.” “In eight years of war, he never accepted having a shelter. They did,” he accused. Meanwhile, Rabbani classified the President of the United States, Donald Trump, as “a dictator,” denounced that “he does things that truly damage the image of the American people,” and recommended that he “return to sanity.” “The government of Iran is a democratic government. The experts are great sages and the leader is elected by the people the people have chosen. If there is a more democratic country in the world, it is Iran,” he opined. The Iranian accused of being involved in the AMIA bombing also assured that his country's national football team “will be in North America” to participate in the World Cup next June. “He could have taken refuge in a bunker or moved to another city, but he preferred to stay to fulfill his responsibilities,” he added in this regard. According to him, the people of Iran, who have suffered 800 murders since the beginning of the war, “are demonstrating in the streets under the slogan 'God is Great'.” “The people are very firm in supporting the defense. We do not have a dictator. We have a Chamber of Deputies elected by the people and a Chamber of Senators. For us, Argentines are friends and we are always working together. He said he would only accept taking refuge in a place if every Iranian also had a shelter,” he weighed in. Buenos Aires, March 4 (NA) – In the midst of the war in the Middle East, the former cultural attaché of the Iranian embassy in Argentina, Mohsen Rabbani, accused of being the mastermind of the 1994 AMIA bombing, stated today that it is “incorrect” to suggest that Argentina could be a “target” of an attack by the Islamist government due to President Javier Milei's positioning in favor of the United States. “It is incorrect to say that Argentina, which is outside this area, is a target of something. We have not invaded any country or started attacking.
