Argentine President Javier Milei is so fanatically supportive of the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran that his communications director Javier Lanari told the Spanish daily El Mundo that Milei’s government will take any action “the White House considers necessary” [to help the effort, El Destape reported.]( https://www.eldestapeweb.com/internacionales/guerra-en-iran/argentina-no-descarta-entrar-en-la-guerra-con-iran-si-lo-pide-estados-unidos-) Lanari elaborated: Argentina would be prepared to send troops to the Middle East “if the United States requested it, yes.”
In an earlier interview with Perfil as the bombardment of Iran began on Feb. 28, Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno was only slightly more ambiguous, saying that “for the moment” there would be no troop deployments, but leaving open the possibility for a later date.
Argentina has no physical, economic or military capability to participate in a U.S.-Israeli war in the Middle East—it is in a breakdown crisis, thanks to Milei’s criminal economic policies. But the normally unhinged President is on a wild flight forward in his support of Trump, Netanyahu and “western values.” As he participated in the glitzy “Argentina Week” on Wall Street March 9-12, trying to lure banks and investors to come and loot his country, he loudly declared that Iran is “our enemy,” blaming it for the 1992 bombing of the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires and the 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish social welfare center in the same city. Botched investigations and contradictory evidence provided by competing foreign intelligence agencies never conclusively proved Iran’s involvement.
