Latest Action · July 21, 2026
Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
This resolution condemns the July 1994 bombing of the Argentine Jewish Mutual Association Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires, which killed 85 people and injured over 300, making it the deadliest attack on Jewish people outside Israel since the Holocaust. The resolution documents evidence linking the attack to Iran and the terrorist group Hezbollah, and notes that despite three decades passing, no one has been brought to justice for the bombing. The resolution highlights recent progress in Argentina, including a 2024 court ruling declaring Iran responsible for the attack as a crime against humanity, the passage of a 2025 law allowing trials in absentia for foreign suspects, and a 2026 federal judge's decision to proceed with a trial against ten men accused of planning and ordering the bombing. The House resolution calls for the perpetrators to be held accountable, demands that INTERPOL member countries comply with arrest orders, commends Argentina for designating Hezbollah as a terrorist organization, and expresses solidarity with Argentina's Jewish community. No funding or specific timeline for implementation is outlined, as this is a symbolic resolution rather than legislation that appropriates funds or creates new programs.
