Iran – Israel conflict: the reaction of Argentine politics
Argentine politics was quick to react after Iran’s attack on Israel on Saturday. Javier Milei canceled his trip to Europe and began his return to meet with the crisis committee that he convened due to the conflict.

Due to the conflict, the Minister of Foreign AffairsDiana Mondinoordered last night the temporary closure of the main embassies in the region where there is an escalation of war with unforeseeable consequences.
For his part, the head of the Buenos Aires Government, Jorge Macri, stated: «I emphatically condemn the brutal attack perpetrated by Iran against the State of Israel, which threatens peace, democracy and freedom. All my solidarity and support for the Israeli people. War, terrorism and violence are never the way.”
The President of the Budget and Finance Commission of the Nation’s Chamber of Deputies, José Luis Espert, also a deputy from the Milei bloc, spoke out in favor of Israel on social networks: »The people of Israel, eternally persecuted, once again victims of violence. Now the terrorists of Iran“, wrote.
And he declared: »There can be no half measures here. “It is in favor of Israel, peace, the defense of freedom, of the West, against murderers and terrorists.”
Elisa Lilita Carrió also expressed her support for the Jewish community in Argentina: »Hoday more than ever Iran is a terrorist state. It is necessary to protect the Jewish community in Argentina. Iranian agents surround us and circulate, with impunity, through Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay and Argentina. Nisman knew it and we all know it,” said the lawyer.
