As part of a series of international memorial events, the United Nations will commemorate 25 years since the bombing of the Jewish community building in Buenos Aires, which killed eighty-five people and injured hundreds. Iran was the mastermind behind the terrorist attack, when its proxy Hezbollah sent operatives in a truck packed with explosives outside the Jewish community building.
The event will be held in memory of the victims of the terrorist attack and will be held at the organization's headquarters in New York. The President of the General Assembly and senior UN officials and diplomats from around the world will be in attendance. In addition to the UN event, about 20 Argentine embassies around the world will mark the occasion, including in Tel Aviv.
Israel's ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, said that "Twenty-five years after the horrific attack against our brothers and sisters on Argentina, Iranian terror continues to act ceaselessly against the State of Israel and the Jewish people. In the absence of a strong response from the international community, it is only a matter of time until the Iranian threat reaches the rest of the world, just as reached Argentina. "
