Iran has officially appointed Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi as the new chief commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, despite his alleged involvement in the AMIA bombing in Argentina.
On Sunday, Iran announced the appointment of Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi as the new chief commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), a significant military position in the country. Vahidi's name is particularly notorious in Argentina, where he has been implicated as the intellectual author behind the 1994 bombing of the Argentine-Israeli Mutual Association (AMIA), an event that left 85 dead. Argentina has issued an Interpol red notice for him, and the recently elected government of Javier Milei has expressed its intention to pursue his arrest in 2024. Alongside the general's appointment, the article highlights ongoing U.S. efforts to apprehend Vahidi, who previously served as Iran's Minister of Interior in 2021.
