Because "making propaganda against Iran is a crime." An update on this story. "Iran prosecutor demands arrest of Argentinian officials," from Reuters:
TEHRAN, Nov 12 (Reuters) - A top Iranian prosecutor demanded an arrest warrant be issued for Argentinian judges and prosecutors, state radio said, after Argentina demanded the arrest of Iranian officials over the bombing of a Jewish centre.
The United States branded Iran and Hezbollah a "global nexus of terrorism" on Saturday and applauded the Argentinian court for seeking the arrest of the Iranian officials in connection with the 1994 bombing which killed 85 people.
Iranian Prosecutor-General Qorbanali Dorri-Najafabadi wrote to hardline Tehran prosecutor Saeed Mortezavi and asked him to issue arrest warrants for former Argentinian judge Juan Jose Galeano who was previously in charge of the case, the current prosecutor and other legal officials, the radio said.
"Despite Galeano being sentenced for taking money and creating a fake case against Iranian officials and after it became clear that Zionist circles paid him ... unfortunately the Argentinian prosecutor has made baseless claims against Iran," state radio quoted Dorri-Najafabadi as saying in his letter.
Galeano was removed from the case in 2003 for corruption.
Dorri-Najafabadi said he wanted Galeano and others involved in the case arrested because "making propaganda against Iran is a crime".
Iran said on Saturday the Argentinian arrest warrant was part of a Zionist, U.S. plot against Iran.
It looks like this has gotten the iranian officials' attention. This looks like it will be amusing
Mad Magazine's Spy v. Spy.
"No, I arrest you."
OT, but just as mad, the BBC put their normal spin on a UN inspired blame the West and Israel for Islamic terrorism feast. I am sure this is a Monty Python sketch, if it isn't it should be...

This is way too funny! Now a criminal regime wants to arrest those trying to arrest agents of that very same criminal regime! Has all of Iran's leadership picked up that mental disorder afflicting its president? I never thought insanity was contagious but Iran seems to disprove that theory.
The destruction of that muleocracy will be the best thing to happen in the world since the end of the USSR. When oh when will it happen! It would be nice if the Iranians would take matters into their own hands and overthrow the dirty old perverts as well as A-Nut (stringing them up next to Saddam would be nice)but it looks like it'll be a job for the West to do whenever it gets its head out of its butt.
Leaders of that nation would be ass-clowns if they weren't so intent on keeping their people down and forcing their insanity on the rest of the middle east.
Enough already.

Baker Hamilton Iraq Study Group recommends we bring them into Iraq to pacify the country?
So if we ask to inspect Iran's nuclear facilities, and someone at them tells us of secret ones, these prosecutors will greet that employee with flowers?
Someone needs to get an arrest warrant on A-Nut for his illegal takeover of the US embassy back in 1979.
Some more proof that Islam creates psychotic episodes in muslims.
This fool gives a terrorist bombing that killed eighty five, the same weight as propaganda against Iran...the poor deluded psychotic does not see the difference between a vicious and lethal act, and telling the facts about who ordered it. He is right though, there is a danger to Iran, if people know and tell the truth about it. Had Israel done it he would not call for the arrest of Australian officials...hypocrite...
Dorri-Najafabadi's statement actually proves that Islam is institutionalized murder. Notice that what the government of Iran has done by using legalities to block the Argentinian government is paper over the mass murder it plotted and carried out on Argentinian soil. The Iranian government is, in effect, telling the world: Islam is licensed by al-lah to commit unlimited murders in His name, those who try to do anything about it or intervene will be punished (and note that it may have found a way, however unorthodox).
Amusing? or is it chilling? (Both?). Especially if the Iranians get Argentina to back down.
I think this seems like a fair trade. rafsanjani will of course not be able to leave Iran as he will be sought by Interpol and the CIA, while the Argentine jurist will not be able to travel to Iran, where of course he too would be arrested. I am betting that the Argentine can live with these consequences. I suspect that Chavez will be quick to assert his willingness to impose the Iranian warrant though should he get the chance. Afterall Venezuela and Iran share common interests. Until of course they dont. I look forward to the day the Catholics and polytheists in venezuela realize that Islam cannot accept them.
Since they are calling for rafsanjani--what a putrid scum, why don't we call for the arrest for "ahmanutjob" for the kidnappings of the hostages back in 78-79? Why wasn't this man arrested when he was here spewing earlier this year?
All joking aside, this is the first salvo in an extended Iranian broadside against Argentina. We can expect both quietly conveyed messages conveyed to the Agentinians, and if those don't work, not so quiet....that pursuing the course of action they've chosen will have definite repercussions.
Will the Argentinians reverse their decision? Or will they pursue it with verve?
Perhaps they'll just make no further proclamations and hope the furor dies down.
A defiant and prolonged anti-dhimmitude would be a surprise...and certainly bust the odds.
The Iranian presecutors are making a lot of trouble over nothing. The Argentinian government would not be stupid enough to meet their demands.
Purveyor of truth: You do realize that Chavez is believed to have converted to Islam, aren't you.
He was observed uttering Islamic prayers at the UN. And he is also believed to have both awarded Ousamah bin Laden US$1 million and set up Hizbollah terrorism training camps in Venezuela's Paria Peninsula.
So beware, and take that into your analyses, as it does not appear that you have. If Chavez is converting to Islam he will take the side of Ahmadinejad and Rafsanjani--not Argentina's. He is already feuding viciously with Vicente Fox and has recently been attempting to destabilize Mexico. He would definitely try to destabilize Argentina if he thought he could get away with that(and if Argentina provided him with sufficient reason--and with their backlish against Iran, Argentinians may now have done so).
Thanks to Chavez, Venezuela in fact may become the first nation in the western hemisphere to fall to Islam.
