Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Nasser Kanani "strongly condemned the repetition of illegal requests based on lies... by some Argentine judges about Iranian nationals in the AMIA case," a statement from the ministry said.
Iran on Wednesday condemned as "illegal" Argentina's request for Interpol to arrest Iran's interior minister over a 1994 bombing attack on a Jewish community centre in Buenos Aires that killed 85 people.
Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Nasser Kanani "strongly condemned the repetition of illegal requests based on lies... by some Argentine judges about Iranian nationals in the AMIA case," a statement from the ministry said.
On April 12, a court in Argentina placed blame on Iran for the 1994 attack against the AMIA Jewish community centre in Buenos Aires and for a bombing two years earlier against the Israeli embassy, which killed 29 people.
