Washington, D.C. - House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX) and Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Ben Cardin (D-MD) issued the below statement following Argentina's highest criminal court ruling holding Iran accountable for its terrorist acts amid the regime's unprecedented violence towards Israel and our partners around the world.

"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."
