Suspect of 1994 bombing of Buenos Aires’ AMIA Jewish center appointed head of IRGC
Jerusalem Post ^ | March 6, 2026 | Juan Melamed

Argentina has issued a new arrest warrant for an Iranian official in connection with the 1994 AMIA Jewish community center bombing in Buenos Aires, at the same time that the alleged mastermind was named the new head of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Ahmad Vahidi was appointed head of the IRGC on Sunday, a day after the unit’s previous leader was killed in the first wave of US-Israeli strikes. Vahidi helmed the IRGC’s Quds Force paramilitary arm responsible for attacks abroad at the time of the AMIA bombing.

Argentinians see poetry in the first strikes, which killed Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and dozens of his deputies as they met in Tehran. The street where they were meeting was named for Louis Pasteur, the same name as the street in Buenos Aires where the AMIA Jewish community organization is located.

.....

But efforts at accountability faltered for years. A Jewish prosecutor who accused the Argentine president of covering up Iran’s role in exchange for trade benefits, Alberto Nisman, was shot to death in 2015.

Would of course be nice if Ahmad Vahidi was caught alive and shipped off to Tel Aviv or Buenos Aires, but it is very likely he has already been "retired" by the Israelis.

... and this is how junior leadership suddenly becomes senior leadership, one hot day in Tehran.

If he hasn’t been “retired” yet, he most likely will be before the weekend’s over. :-)

They are really scrapping the bottom of the barrel for hardline lunatic leaders. Expecting some of them to come out with a walker LOL

Almost like we have wiped out most of their roster :)

Oddly the pork from the last leader’s funeral is still warm on the serving table. There is enough pork for installation of the new leader, and likely enough for his funeral. LOL
