WASHINGTON - Today, U.S. Senator Ben Cardin (D-Md.), Chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and Michael McCaul (R-Texas), Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, issued a statement after Argentina's highest court found Iran responsible for a terrorist attack against the Israeli embassy in Argentina and the Argentinian Israelite Mutual Association (AMIA) Jewish Center.

"On Friday, Argentina's highest criminal court found Iran responsible for ordering the 1992 terrorist attack on Israel's embassy in Buenos Aires and the 1994 terrorist attack on the Argentinian Israelite Mutual Association Jewish center. We praise the enormous courage of the Argentinian officials and judges working to hold Iran and its associates accountable and deliver transparency to the victims. The United States must stand with those pursuing justice and against growing efforts to harass them."
