RESOLUTION 
Expressing support to the Government of Argentina for its 
investigation into the terrorist bombing of the Embassy 
of Israel in Buenos Aires on March 17, 1992.

Whereas in 1999, the Supreme Court of Argentina, after con-
ducting the investigation, found that the Lebanese ter-
rorist organization Hezbollah was responsible for the 
bombing; 
Whereas evidence shows that the world’s leading state spon-
sor of terrorism, Iran, directed, financed, and assisted 
Hezbollah in the execution of this terrorist attack; 
Whereas two years after the bombing of the Embassy of 
Israel in Argentina, on July 18, 1994, 85 people were 
killed in a similar terrorist attack on the Argentine- 
Israeli Mutual Association (AMIA) building in Buenos 
Aires; 
Whereas in 2006, Argentina issued international arrests war-
rants against nine Iranian officials in connection with the 
AMIA atrocity; 
Whereas the culprits of these heinous crimes have never been 
brought to justice; 
Whereas the House of Representatives commends President 
Mauricio Macri of Argentina for appointing a Special In-
vestigator to examine the AMIA terrorist attack; 
Whereas the Government of Argentina and the former Spe-
cial Prosecutor in charge of investigating the AMIA ter-
rorist attack, Alberto Nisman, determined the bombing 
was conducted by Iranian proxy Hezbollah; and 
Whereas, on January 19, 2015, Alberto Nisman was found 
dead in his apartment in Argentina under suspicious cir-
cumstances, the reason for his death has not been deter-
mined yet: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—

(1) calls on the United States Government to 
assist the Government of Argentina in any possible 
way so that the perpetrators of these horrific atroc-
ities, the attacks on the Embassy of Israel in Bue-
nos Aires in 1992 and the Argentine-Israeli Mutual 
Association (AMIA) in Buenos Aires in 1994, finally 
be brought to justice; 
(2) determines that the murderous terrorist at-
tacks upon Israel’s Embassy in Argentina and the 
AMIA constitute an affront to humanity, and the 
values of civilized society, and reminds us that the 
international community must cooperate and work 
together to combat and defeat international ter-
rorism and its state sponsors, such as Iran; and 
(3) urges the Government of Iran to take mean-
ingful steps towards fully complying with investiga-
tions by the Government of Argentina, including im-
mediately providing all available information from all 
entities of the Government of Iran regarding the at-
tacks against Israel’s Embassy in Buenos Aires in 
1992 and the AMIA in Buenos Aires in 1994.
