his country’s probes of two 1990s bombings aimed at Jews in Buenos Aires—and widely blamed on Iran—in exchange for expanded trade ties. Oddly, the Argentine government has so far said nothing. But Israeli officials said Timerman has assured them there is nothing to the story. Perfil didn’t claim to have received the information from informants in the Argentine Foreign Ministry. No, it said it had obtained an Iranian diplomatic memo in which Iranian Foreign Minister Ali-Akbar Salehi wrote: “Argentina is no longer interested in solving those two attacks, but in exchange prefers improving its economic relations with Iran.” Perfil did not say how it obtained an Iranian diplomatic document. Timerman happens to be Jewish and to have known people killed in the 1994 bombing of the Jewish community center. The story has not made much of a stir in the Argentine Jewish community, which appears to be laughing at the report.
