In the wake of the US and Israeli operation that resulted in the death of Iranian leader Ali Khamenei, Argentine President Javier Milei expressed his strong support for this military action, labeling it as a significant achievement in the fight against terrorism. His remarks came just before the opening of regular sessions in Congress, showcasing his alignment with US foreign policy, particularly regarding Iran, which he has accused of engaging in terrorism on a global scale.

Milei did not shy away from criticizing Iran's regime, specifically referencing the 1994 terrorist attack against the AMIA Jewish community center in Buenos Aires that resulted in 85 deaths. He has called for justice for the victims of this atrocity, underlining the long-standing impact of Iranian extremism on Argentina and its international ramifications. This statement reaffirms Argentina's complicated history with Iran,

In his message, Milei described Khamenei as one of the "most wicked, violent, and cruel'' figures in history. He asserted that the atrocities committed under Khamenei's regime have not just harmed the Iranian people, but have had far-reaching effects globally, which aligns with a broader narrative among some Argentine leaders advocating for enhanced measures against Iran. His vocal stance could signal a tightening of Argentina's international alliances in the context of Middle Eastern geopolitics, particularly as the country seeks to define its foreign policy under his administration.
