Since the bombing attacks to the Israeli embassy (1992) and AMIA (a jewish organization) in 1994, Iran has been on the radar of Argentine politics. The investigation and judicial process were a total fuck up, full of tainted evidence, false witnesses and fake accusations, etc. At first they pointed at Syrians but quickly switched to Iranians because that narrative was more palatable for zionist & yanki interests.

Then in the first half of the 2010s Cristina Kirchner's government (centrist) was accused by the right-wing opposition of "helping Iran" when the congress approved a memorandum with Iran. To summarize: they spread fake news about Interpol red alerts on some Iranians "falling" because of the memorandum, which were denied by the same Interpol. They didn't care and half the public ate this bullshit. This political move was incentivized by DAIA, a zionist organization similar to the ADL in yankiland.

10 years later the far right wing keeps insisting that "ThE LeFt" is in cahoots with Iran. And of course they consider Kirchnerism (Peronist variant) as "left-wing" radical communists which is laughable, they are centrists or right-wingers depending on what direction the wind blows.

EDIT: not to defend Kirchner but the accusations are baseless. What really matters is how they created a scary monster to act as opposition.

Furthermore, there is the narrative that those bomb attacks were in response to Argentina's involvement in the First Gulf War, so it is understandable that in this situation some can be worried if this nutjob sends military support for the American Empire in case of another war.
