Iran requests meeting with Argentina at the coming UN General Assembly
Iran's Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi formally requested his Argentine counterpart Héctor Timerman for a meeting to be held next week at the United Nations General Assembly, the Ministry reported.
Argentina is expected to announce during the annual assembly it will freeze bilateral relations with Iran due to the lack of cooperation with the country's justice to clear up the 1994 AMIA terrorist attack.
Last year, the Argentine government had opened the dialogue with President Mahmaoud Ahmadinejad administration, and President Cristina Fernández had requested UN ambassador and current ambassador in the US, Jorge Argüello, to remain at the floor during the Iranian president's speech to the UN General Assembly.
It was the first time signals were exchanged between Teheran and Buenos Aires since President Cristina Fernandez reached the Executive branch.
As the dialogue failed, it was expected that this coming assembly Argentina's representative Mateo Estemé would leave the floor during Ahmadinejad's speech at the UN.
In related news it was announced that Foreign ministers and the chief negotiator for world powers will meet next week to try to figure out how to break an impasse in negotiations over Iran's nuclear program, after talks on Tuesday yielded no sign of progress.
Six world powers, represented by European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, have sought to persuade Iran to scale back its nuclear program through intensifying economic sanctions and diplomacy.
The powers fear Iran is developing a bomb, but Tehran says its program serves peaceful purposes only. In the latest talks, Ashton and Iran's chief negotiator Saeed Jalili held a meeting in Istanbul that was described as “useful and constructive.”
It was “an important opportunity to stress once again to Iran the urgent need to make progress,” according to Ashton's spokesman.
Though three rounds of talks since April have made little progress, neither side wants to break off negotiations because of concerns that this could lead to a new war.
Israel, believed to be the only nuclear-armed state in the Middle East, sees a possible Iranian nuclear bomb as a threat to its existence and has said it may resort to military means if diplomacy and sanctions fail.
Any deals are likely to be struck only during political talks between Iran and the six powers - the United States, Russia and China, plus three EU nations: France, Germany and Britain.

they will ask CFK to threten invation or make trouble for the british,
and thus keep us distracted, so they can deal with those who wish to attack, her...
Why? Because even the Russians and Chinese are not stupid enough to sell weapons grade material to Iran, because they are too unstable as a country.
The resulting UN backed blockade will turn Argentina into North Korea mark 2.
Or it could just be a case of they have no one else who will talk to them and take them seriously, so turn to each other for comfort.
Personally, on the friends front I think Iran could do better...LOL
That's why they need the support of despotic regimes such as Iran.
Pathetic.
Argentina has demanded justice for the attack in 1994 against a mutual Jewish Buenos Aires, which killed 85 people and making the South American country claims the arrests of eight Iranians and one Lebanese.
In 2006 the Court issued an order Argentina international arrest Iranian Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi, the former Minister of Information Ali Fallahijan Iran, the government exasesor Mohsen Rezai, the exagregado of the Iranian embassy in Buenos Aires Moshen Rabbani, the former official diplomat Ahmad Reza Ashgari and Lebanese Imad Fayez Mughniyah.
We also are required by Argentina Justice Deputy Foreign Minister for African Affairs of Iran, Hadi Soleimanpour, the Iranian president Ali Akbar Rafsanjani, and the former Minister of Foreign Affairs Iranian Ali Akbar Velayati.
Timerman, who said if Iran will enter the order, so far confirmed bilateral meetings with his counterparts from Israel, Russia, Italy, Algeria, Netherlands, Pakistan, Portugal, and Slovenia Sierra Leone within the framework of the UN Assembly is performed every year.

I was thinking the exact same thing reading those “reponses” (an earthworm could have formulated a more coherent thought out riposte), and I was going to say it, but you beat me to it.
The very first fooking sentence “Argentina is expected to announce during the annual assembly it will freeze bilateral relations with Iran”
And these Brutish morons above with their racist, diva commments.
@1.... Timmerman is a Jew, so much for your Argentina is a nazi society, back to your lair you microcephalic lout.
@2... Britain is nowhere to be found in this article. Iran hates you for one reason, Argentina hates you for other reasons. And Argentina and Iran hate each other. So you have nothing to do here. Go back to calling the French and Italian porn lovers for excercising freedom of speech.
@3
No that was the UK with Gaddafi and sending the terrorist back home and selling out any decency of morals, among others.
@4
Keep hating, hater.
@5
Ditto.
oh, we give a fuck if the UK thinks we are a serious country or not.
Ya moan of others, then it your self,
Ya never learn,
Why doesn’t argentina go and get them,
Why not put sanctions on them,
Why not enforce the law on them.
What if they sneak into the Ecuadorian embassy?
For asylum, will you condemn them as well.
The only anti insulter on here is you lot.
All we try to do is help you …//

Firstly, good luck trying to get Pakistan AND India to sit down at the same table and agree on something. The two states have been at loggerheads over a little territory called Kashmir for as long as anyone can remember
Secondly please, please, please stop being thick ok? just stop it. No one on this forum is impressed and you are only embarassing yourself.
