| Iran warns Argentina over arrest warrants for officials |
| 2003-03-09 |
| Iran said Sunday it will take "necessary measures" if Argentina does not correct its "mistake" over arrest warrants issued against some 20 Iranian officials in connection with a deadly 1994 bombing. "If the information concerning the arrest warrents is true, the Argentine government should make up for this mistake, otherwise the Islamic Republic will take necessary measures in this regard," state media quoted foreign ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi as saying. What're you gonna do? Bomb them? Asefi Sunday accused Iran's arch foe Israel of being behind the "baseless allegations. There has been no convincing proof of Iran's involvement in that incident, and we have repeatedly said that these rumours and reports are made up by Zionist circles." "Yeah! All the witnesses are dead!" |

| #2 If I were an Argentinian, I would not take kindly to threats by Iran. However, this statement by Iran is one more bit of rope for their self hanging. I think Iran is starting to feel the heat of this Iraq thing. |

| #1 If Argentina has any cojones, they'll round up all Iranians (and assorted hanger-ons) arrest the culpable that may still be around, and deport the rest. looks like Iran - under the current regime - doesn't want diplomatic ties. That can change when the regime changes ...in a couple months I believe |
