On January 18, an Argentine federal court affirming that prosecutor Alberto Nisman, investigator of the AMIA bombing, was murdered, dispelling the myth that he committed suicide. In his lengthy report, he describes his findings. Here are my key points from the report:

Two Syrians and 1 Lebanese were arrested in #Argentina on suspicion of planning a terrorist attack. One was found with Venezuelan & Colombian passports in his name. Argentina’s Ministry of Security said the suspects had been awaiting the arrival of a 35-kilo parcel originating from Yemen. The suspects had booked a hotel near the Israeli embassy. The arrests coincided with the international Maccabiah sports event bringing together 4000 athletes. US & Israel reportedly shared intel that helped foil the plot. Developing story I’ll be watching. france24.com/en/live-news/20…

Senators letter to @POTUS today: Take immediate steps to hold accountable Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, former Argentina VP, for significant corruption. Excerpts: “Kirchner…is a convicted kleptocrat who stole billions from state coffers and enabled malign actors like China and Iran to deepen their corrupt influence in a critical U.S. ally, Argentina.. #Kirchner was found guilty of overseeing and profiting over $1 billion from fraudulently issued government contracts for public infrastructure during her time as president. Kirchner was sentenced by an Argentine federal court to six years in prison and to “special disqualification for life” from seeking public office.” In the second case, ‘MOU with Iran,’ Kirchner is indicted by the Federal Criminal Cassation Court for colluding with #Iran to cover up its role in the July 18, 1994 bombing of the #AMIA Jewish community center – the gravest terrorist attack in Argentine history. Argentine special prosecutor #AlbertoNisman was shot and killed in 2015, a day before he was due to present highly credible evidence revealing Fernández de Kirchner and her associates’ roles in the cover up. This evidence included transfers of millions of dollars from a major Iranian bank account to accounts held by her family in Cyprus, the Seychelles, and the Cayman Islands. “We urge you take immediate steps to use the tools available under Presidential Proclamation 7750 and Section 7031(c) of the Department of State, Foreign Operations and Related programs Appropriations Act to hold Fernández de Kirchner and her family members accountable for their involvement in acts of significant corruption.” @SenatorRisch @SenatorHagerty @SenRickScott @JohnCornyn @SenMarcoRubio

There are national security implications in covering up Nisman’s murder. His granular work provided a roadmap on how Iran recruited, funded & executed terrorism. Nisman isn't physically with us but his lessons remain.We ignore them at our peril. My oped👇 algemeiner.com/2023/01/18/a-…

Families of those killed in the #AMIAbombing in Argentina will make their case before the court on Nov 8 about why the trial against Cristina Kirchner and her associates should move forward. Their voices deserve to be heard. Will there be justice in Buenos Aires tomorrow?

It's not surprising that one of the Islamic Republic of Iran's top officials implicated in the AMIA bombing has today been sanctioned for his role in repressing peaceful protests in Iran. Kudos to @USTreasury Good piece by @BenCohenOpinion👇 #IranProtests algemeiner.com/2022/10/06/as…

Quoted: Toby Dershowitz, close watcher of the Nisman affair, told me that Pres. Fernandez was sending an ominous threat to Mr. Luciani. “His message: Don’t be surprised if you are killed. We will say you took your life as Cristina said about Nisman.”nysun.com/article/senator-cr…

Mr. Cruz argues that the evidence now in the public record against Mrs. Kirchner is already “as or more significant than the evidence that the State Dept recently presented” in justifying sanctions against VP of Paraguay, Velazquez. Via @EliLake nysun.com/article/senator-cr…

2 Before becoming president, Fernandez said on tape: “No one in Argentina, including Cristina, believes Nisman committed suicide.” Translation: Cristina knows the truth. He was murdered. Here’s the tape. x.com/lanacion/status/156280…

Thread: 1. Another big-time controversy in Argentina. Pres. Alberto Fernandez just issued a veiled threat to Diego Luciani, the prosecutor who recently accused VP Kirchner of heading a matrix of corruption and asked for a 12 yr sentence.

LR @RepMcCaul "I commend @DOJ for seizing the IRGC-linked Mahan Air cargo plane illegally transferred to Venezuela’s EMTRASUR. We cannot allow Iran’s malign influence to take root in our hemisphere." justice.gov/opa/pr/us-justic…”

#Iran is testing the world to see if the passage of time has eroded our commitment to accountability in the AMIA bombing. I write in @NewsweekOpinion how for the sake of justice & security those implicated can be held to account. Let's not fail this test. newsweek.com/iran-testing-us…

The scandal surrounding the grounded #Iranian plane apparently leased by Mahan Air to Venezuela’s Conviasa grows. Argentina’s prez Alberto Fernandez’s “there are no irregularities with the plane” claim was mocked on social media. Argentinians smell yet another attempted cover up.

Timely situation unfolding in Argentina now.

Un Heroe.

Today, @RepMariaSalazar (R-FL) @RepJoshG (D-NJ) @RepDavidKustoff (R-TN) @RepTedDeutch (D-FL) & @RepJoeWilson (R-SC) led 100 Members of Congress to introduce H Res 988 marking 30 yrs since the Mar 17 1992 #Iran-backed terrorist bombing of the Israeli embassy in Argentina.

Victims of #Iran-backed bombing of the AMIA are furious. How could @Rob_Malley agree to lift sanctions on Mohsen Rezae & Ali Akbar Velayati, both implicated in the bombing? This isn't a D or R issue. Letting plotters of terrorism off the hook can’t be good for our nat'l security.

It’s an honor to have my opinion piece on the quest for accountability and justice for #AlbertoNisman and the #AMIAbombing originally appearing in @TheNatlInterest , now published by @infobae, the most widely read Spanish language news site. infobae.com/opinion/2022/01/…

La mejor manera de honrar a Nisman es exigir que se lleve a cabo el juicio por el Pacto con Irán. Con el apoyo a las dictaduras de la región que protegen a los terroristas Iraníes, quedó en claro nuevamente el verdadero propósito de impunidad de ese pacto que Nisman denunció.
