English/Español: Rubio, Ernst, Colleagues Demand Answers as Biden Administration Stalls Investigation of Iranians Linked to Terrorism in Argentina
Last month, Iranians with direct links to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the country’s most prominent designated foreign terrorist organization, were detained in Argentina. Yet, the Biden Administration has delayed responding to a request from key Argentinian law enforcement officials for information confirming these Iranians’ links to terrorist activities.
U.S. Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Joni Ernst (R-IA) sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland demanding an explanation for the delay and asking whether the failure to confirm terrorist linkages with a major non-NATO U.S. ally could be because of the president’s misguided pursuit of an Iran nuclear deal.
- “The laws of the United States and the enforcement of those laws, in particular sanctions laws, are not optional. The uncharacteristic delay and lack of responsiveness by the Department of Justice suggests a prioritization of other parts of this administration’s agenda, such as negotiations over a new Iranian nuclear deal. This is unacceptable, as justice cannot be administered at the expense of political whims or sensitivities. Our laws must be administered equally and enforced at all times,” the senators wrote.

RUBIO, ERNST Y COLEGAS EXIGEN RESPUESTAS MIENTRAS LA ADMINISTRACIÓN BIDEN RETRAZA INVESTIGACIÓN DE IRANÍES CON VÍNCULOS AL TERRORISMO EN ARGENTINA
El mes pasado, iraníes con vínculos directos al Cuerpo de la Guardia Revolucionaria Islámica (IRGC, por sus siglas en inglés) designados como la organización terrorista más prominente de su país, fueron detenidos en Argentina. La Administración Biden ha retrasado su respuesta a una solicitud de funcionarios encargados de hacer cumplir la ley argentina sobre información que confirme los vínculos con actividades terroristas.
Los senadores estadounidenses Marco Rubio (R-FL) y Joni Ernst (R-IA) enviaron una carta al fiscal general de EE.UU. pidiendo una explicación sobre dicha demora y preguntando si la falta de confirmación de los vínculos terroristas con un importante aliado de EE.UU. podría deberse a la política errónea del presidente Biden de buscar un acuerdo nuclear con Irán.
- “Las leyes de EE.UU. y el cumplimiento de esas leyes, en particular las leyes de sanciones, no son opcionales. El inusual retraso y la falta de respuestas por parte del Departamento de Justicia sugieren la priorización de otras partes de la agenda de esta administración, como las negociaciones de un nuevo acuerdo nuclear con Irán. Esto es inaceptable, ya que no se puede hacer justicia a expensas de caprichos o sensibilidades políticas. Nuestras leyes deben administrarse por igual y aplicarse en todo momento”, escribieron los senadores.
