This information once again underlined the ominous presence of Tehran <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/exclusive-report\/exposed-iran-quds-force-in-latin-america\/\" rel=\"noopener\">in Latin America<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While Tehran likes to project itself as an anti-American pillar in the new unipolar world order, gaining influence and strengthening its foothold in the Americas is more than political muscle-flexing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The individual, identified as Gholamreza Ghasemi, is believed to be a member of the extraterritorial Quds Force and a relative of the regime\u2019s current interior ministers <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/who-is-irans-new-interior-minister-ahmad-vahidi\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Ahmad Vahidi<\/a>, who is wanted by Interpol for his role in the 1994 AMIA bombing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So far, Argentinian authorities have refused to address the issue, thus raising concern about the Iranian regime\u2019s impunity for terrorism and other malign activities in Latin America.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On June 8, Argentine authorities forced a Mahan Air flight to land in Buenos Aires. The authorities seized this 747 cargo plane. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/iranian-state-controlled-media-say-mahan-air-aircraft-seized-argentina-no-2022-06-12\/\">According to Reuters<\/a>, this Emtrasur cargo plane was \u201csold to Venezuela by Iran&#8217;s Mahan Air a year ago according to the Iranian airline.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While the Argentinian government did not officially confirm the seizure, the Iranian regime quickly acknowledged the incident but tried to distance itself from it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On Monday, the Iranian regime\u2019s Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh claimed that the grounded plane was operating for the cargo division of Venezuelan national carrier Conviasa does not belong to Iran\u2019s Mahan Airlines. However, he acknowledged some crew members were Iranians.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Mahan Air belongs to the IRGC. The United States <a href=\"https:\/\/www.state.gov\/designation-of-the-islamic-republic-of-iran-shipping-lines-e-sail-shipping-company-ltd-and-mahan-air\/\">sanctioned<\/a> the airline in 2011 for its role in spreading terrorism and chaos across the globe and \u201cproviding financial, material, and technological support to the IRGC.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/terrorism-a-fundamentalism\/iran-an-irgc-qods-force-entity-called-mahan-operating-under-the-guise-of-a-private-company\/\">a profound study<\/a> by the Iranian Resistance in 2011, \u201ckey figures in this company are among senior officers of the Revolutionary Guards and specifically commanders of the Quds Force.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIn addition to providing passenger transportation, Iranian airline companies play an important role in Iran\u2019s interference in the countries of the region. The use of the term \u2018private&#8217; for these companies is essentially a cover for giving the Iranian regime the right to use them for its own purposes, including the transfer of equipment, logistical support, personnel, etc.,\u201d the report adds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Having a Quds Force member as the pilot of a Mahan Air flight is not new. In June 2020, Amir Assadolahi, another so-called \u201cpilot,\u201d <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/persian\/iran-53097786\" rel=\"noopener\">acknowledged<\/a> he had transferred Qassem Soleimani, the eliminated commander of the IRGC Quds Force, with \u201cseven tons\u201d of \u201cbanned cargo,\u201d meaning weapons, along with 200 passengers on board to Syria in June 2013.\u00a0 He proudly declared himself an IRGC member and Soleimani\u2019s follower.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWhile flying over Baghdad, U.S. forces forced us to land at Baghdad airport. During Iraqi and American inspections, I asked Haji Qassem to wear the uniform of our flight engineer [so no one would recognize him]. They were after him,\u201d he said, as quoted by the semiofficial Young Journalists Club\u00a0news agency. \u201cWhen the Americans could not find him and left, the Iraqis asked to check our cargo. It was a very tough moment. We went to see the cargo; I opened my wallet and showed the dollars to the Iraqi inspector; he winked at me, took the dollars, and left.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Iran\u2019s threat in South America should be taken seriously. Since the regime in Tehran faces more domestic crises, it tends to export them outside, and Latin America is a perfect destination. In recent years, Latin America has become the regime\u2019s \u201czone of operation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/news\/iran-news\/iran-the-amia-terror-bombing-in-buenos-aires\/\" rel=\"noopener\">deadly car explosion<\/a> in 1994 outside the Argentine Israelite Mutual Association (AMIA) did not happen overnight. The regime paved the way by sending its operative, Mohsen Rabbani, to Buenos Aires on August 27, 1983, almost eleven years before the AMIA attack.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Based on an exclusive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/exclusive-report\/exclusive-report-irgc-and-hezbollahs-presence-in-south-america\/\">report by the Iranian Resistance in February 2022<\/a>, \u201cAs the leader of the at-Tauhid mosque, Rabbani began to search for potential targets for Iranian-backed terror attacks. During later testimony, three of Rabbani\u2019s students at the at-Tauhid Mosque remarked that he had told them in 1990 to \u2018export the revolution\u2019 and that \u2018we are all Hezbollah.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This plan ultimately resulted in the 1994 deadly bombing, which left 85 dead.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sadly, the Argentine authorities decided to sweep the evidence of this terrorist attack under the carpet, mainly by avoiding any conflict with Tehran over the assassination of Dr. Alberto Nisman, the prosecutor of the AMIA bombings, who, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/soleimanis-latin-america-terror-11578863631\">Wall Street Journal<\/a>, \u201chad been investigating an alleged Argentine coverup of Iran\u2019s role in the AMIA bombing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The grounding of the regime\u2019s plane carrying its terrorists and holding them accountable provides an opportunity for Argentina to send a clear message of resilience to Tehran. Any &#8220;political consideration&#8221; and surrendering to the regime&#8217;s blackmail policy will embolden the greatest state sponsor of terrorism and eventually innocent people will have to pay with their lives and treasure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Days after Argentina grounded an Iranian airplane and seized the passports of its crew members, Paraguayan authorities announced the pilot was a member of the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) Quds Force.
