Compiled by former Argentine intelligence chief Miguel \u00c1ngel Toma, the report confirms that the attack was orchestrated by Iran\u2019s regime through its Hezbollah proxy. It details a vast intelligence network operating out of Iranian embassies across Latin America.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"2168\" data-end=\"2626\">The AMIA case has become symbolic of the perils of appeasing Tehran. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-latin-america-42491527\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Prosecutor Alberto Nisman<\/a>, who led the investigation and exposed the Iranian regime\u2019s role, was found dead in 2015 under suspicious circumstances shortly after accusing then-President Cristina Fern\u00e1ndez de Kirchner of conspiring to cover up Tehran\u2019s involvement.

The court found the state responsible for both the bombing and the subsequent derailment of the investigation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"2944\" data-end=\"3484\">The Iranian Resistance, which first revealed the Iranian regime\u2019s role in the AMIA attack back in 1994, <a href=\"https:\/\/m.mojahedin.org\/id\/d344f96d-2102-4edb-97e7-fd7ab990dd89\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">welcomed the court\u2019s decision<\/a>. The group emphasized that Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei should top the list of those held accountable, citing his direct authority over the IRGC and intelligence agencies. The NCRI reiterated calls for a firm international stance toward Tehran\u2019s global terrorist apparatus, warning that appeasement has only emboldened the regime to continue targeting civilians worldwide.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"3486\" data-end=\"3833\">In light of this ruling, new questions are also being raised about the regime\u2019s current conduct.
