“Iran regime was behind Argentine bombing” – Mohaddessin

NCRI – The following are excerpts from an interview with Mr. Mohammad Mohaddessin, Chair of the NCRI’s Foreign Affairs Committee, on recent court cases dealing with the regime’s terrorist attacks in various countries:

Question: Mr Mohaddessin, please give us your view about recent statements by Argentine judiciary that the Iranian authorities were involved in the bombing of the Jewish cultural centre in Buenos Aires in 1994?

Mohaddessin: The fact is that the Iranian Resistance announced in 1994 that the bombing of the Amia centre in Buenos Aires in that year was perpetrated by the Iranian regime and the Qods force of the Revolutionary Guards Corps. I held a press conference then where I called on the Argentine authorities to arrest the Iranian regime’s Ambassador to their country, a terrorist agent named Hadi Soleimanpour, who orchestrated the attack. We also gave the names of Hashemi Rafsanjani, then President, Ali Fallahian former Intelligence Minister, and other officials of the regime as the masterminds and the perpetrators of this attack. Unfortunately, no one took this seriously at the time. The Iranian Resistance unveiled further details later.

Recently, the Argentine public prosecutor accused Rafsanjani and seven other officials, namely Velayati, then Foreign Minister and today one of Ali Khamanei’s (the Supreme Leader) aides, Ali Fallahian, former Intelligence Minister, Mohsen Reza’i, former Commander in chief of the Revolutionary Guards, Ahmad Vahidi, Commander of the Qods force, and other individuals, of having planned and carried out this attack and called for their arrests.

Yet this is not an isolated act. The Mykonos court ruling in Germany in 1997 on the murder of four Iranian Kurdish dissidents in 1992 is another case. The court concluded that Khamenei, Rafsanjani and Velayati who is now a key adviser to the Supreme Leader, as well as Fallahian, former Intelligence Minister now in charge of security matters at the Supreme Leader’s office, were involved in the murders.

Question: The trial in Argentine coincided with another trial in Italy against one of the murderers of Mohammad Hossein Naghdi, representative of the National Council of Resistance of Iran in Rome, in 1993. What connection has been established between this crime and the Iranian regime?

Mohaddessin: The last session of this trial took place in Rome on October 25 and will continue on November 24. What is important in this file is that there are numerous witnesses and evidence proving, as the court acknowledged, that the perpetrators of the assassination of Mr Naghdi were officials of the Iranian regime.

Mr Naghdi was one of the three Iranian diplomats to join the Resistance in the early 1980s: Mohammad Hossein Naghdi, Iran’s chargé d’affaires in Italy, Prof. Kazem Rajavi, Iranian Ambassador in Geneva and in the United Nations, and Parviz Khazaï, Iranian Ambassador in Oslo, Norway. All three decided to join the Resistance. The first two, Naghdi and Prof. Kazem Rajavi, were murdered in 1990 and in 1993 by terrorists sent by Tehran.

The Italian prosecutor, during the October 25 court session, announced that he had sufficient evidence to prove that Naghdi’s murder was a political crime committed by the Iranian regime against its opposition. One of the perpetrators of the crime, Amir Mansour Bozorgian, has been identified by the Italian police and by the judicial authorities. He is tried in absentia and a life prison sentence has been demanded against him.

Much evidence suggests that Khamenei personally gave the order for the assassination. The terrorist apparatus of the regime carried out the dirty work. This is exactly the same apparatus which committed the Mykonos murders.

Another interesting element is that Amir Mansour Bozorgian, who is involved in this crime, also took part in the Vienna terrorist attack where Abdol-Rahman Ghassemlou, leader of the Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iran, was murdered in 1989. Two teams were involved in this operation: one under the command of Bozorgian and the other under the command of Ahmadinejad, the current President of the mullahs.

If you examine these cases carefully, you would find that the whole structure of this regime is involved in terrorism.
