Iranian and Argentinean officials are due to meet in Geneva to resolve the existing misunderstandings regarding the 1994 bomb attack on the Argentine Israelite Mutual Association (AMIA) building in Buenos Aires.

"It is a working meeting on the AMIA case under terms agreed during a meeting of foreign ministers September 27 in New York," the Argentinean Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Wednesday. The meeting is due to be held on Monday.

During a meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in September, Iran’s Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi and his Argentinean counterpart Hector Timerman agreed to continue discussions over the attack until they reach a mutual agreement.


Timerman at the time said the negotiations were to "explore a legal mechanism" for resolving the matter "not in contradiction with the legal systems of Argentina and Iran."

Under intense political pressure by the US and the Israeli regime, Argentina formally accused Iran of carrying out the attack on the Jewish community center in Buenos Aires that killed 85 people and wounded 300.

The Islamic Republic has vehemently and consistently denied any involvement in the terror bombing.

Faced with lack of any evidence for their anti-Iranian allegations, Argentinean prosecutors have only used false and contradictory statements by Iranian dissidents seeking asylum in the West to level charges against Tehran.
