Raisi appointed Ahmad Vahidi as minister of the interior. The move was quickly strongly condemned by both Argentina and Israel, with the former having requested his arrest through a red notice of Interpol for his alleged involvement in the 1994 AMIA bombing in Buenos Aires. The Argentine foreign ministry stated that Vahidi's designation was an "affront to the Argentine justice and the victims of the terrorist attack". On 26 August 2021, Iran had a renewed diplomatic clash with Argentina, when the latter condemned the designation of Mohsen Rezai also in a ministerial rank. Rezai is also wanted by Argentina for alleged involvement in the AMIA bombing. Argentina "energetically" condemned his designation and added that "Iran must cooperate with the investigation" and added again that Rezai's designation was another "affront to the Argentine justice".
