Iran regrets Argentinian federal courtˈs ruling on AMIA case

 IRNA – Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Marziyeh Afkham voiced regret over the recent ruling by a federal court of Argentina against the AMIA case.
ˈThe Islamic Republic of Iran voices its regret and discontent with this decision,ˈ Afkham said.

On Thursday, an Argentinean federal court struck down a 2013 agreement between the South American country and Iran to jointly investigate deadly attacks on a Jewish center in Argentina in 1994.

Alberto Nisman, a prosecutor in the investigation of the AMIA center explosion, in which 85 people were killed, had argued in his appeal to the court that the 2013 agreement constituted an “undue interference of the executive branch in the exclusive sphere of the judiciaryˈ.

The ruling by the federal court against the agreement said that ˈit was illegal and ordered Argentina not to go ahead with it.
