#2 Iranian Prosecutor-General: Arrest Argentine authorities who issued warrant for Rafsanjani

Because "making propaganda against Iran is a crime." An update on this story. "Iran prosecutor demands arrest of Argentinian officials," from Reuters:

TEHRAN, Nov 12 (Reuters) - A top Iranian prosecutor demanded an arrest warrant be issued for Argentinian judges and prosecutors, state radio said, after Argentina demanded the arrest of Iranian officials over the bombing of a Jewish centre.

The United States branded Iran and Hezbollah a "global nexus of terrorism" on Saturday and applauded the Argentinian court for seeking the arrest of the Iranian officials in connection with the 1994 bombing which killed 85 people.

Iranian Prosecutor-General Qorbanali Dorri-Najafabadi wrote to hardline Tehran prosecutor Saeed Mortezavi and asked him to issue arrest warrants for former Argentinian judge Juan Jose Galeano who was previously in charge of the case, the current prosecutor and other legal officials, the radio said.

"Despite Galeano being sentenced for taking money and creating a fake case against Iranian officials and after it became clear that Zionist circles paid him ... unfortunately the Argentinian prosecutor has made baseless claims against Iran," state radio quoted Dorri-Najafabadi as saying in his letter.

Galeano was removed from the case in 2003 for corruption.

Dorri-Najafabadi said he wanted Galeano and others involved in the case arrested because "making propaganda against Iran is a crime".

Iran said on Saturday the Argentinian arrest warrant was part of a Zionist, U.S. plot against Iran.

Isn't just about everything conceivable by the human imagination "part of a Zionist, U.S. plot against Iran"?
