Iran Threatens to Sue Argentina for Defamation?

Or something like that. More precisely, Iran’s government is peeved at continuing findings from an Argentine court holding the Iranian government responsible for the 1992 bombing of a Jewish in Buenos Aires and is threatening ICJ litigation.



Prosecutor General Qorbanali Dorri Najafabadi on Monday stressed that Iran will lodge complaint with international court against Argentine government over repetition of unfounded allegation attempting to damage international prestige of Iranian government.



This is almost certainly pure rhetorical flourish, because I have no idea what exactly Argentina has done to violate international law? Even if the Argentine findings of Iranian culpability in the terrorist attacks were false (and there is no reason to believe it is false), there is no violation of international law that I can think of. But perhaps our readers have some ideas?
