On 27 January 2013 , the Government of Argentina announced it had signed a memorandum of understanding with Iran to establish a " truth commission " to investigate the AMIA Bombing . According to President Kirchner , the commission was established to " analyze all the documentation presented to date by the judicial authorities of Argentina and Iran … and to give its vision and issue a report with recommendations about how the case should proceed within the legal and regulatory framework of both parties . " The news generated several criticisms with David Harris from the American Jewish Committee stating that " the idea of establishing a ' truth ' commission on the AMIA tragedy that involves the Iranian regime would be like asking Nazi Germany to help establish the facts of Kristallnacht " . The U.S. State Department 's top official in charge of Latin American affairs , Assistant Secretary of State Roberta Jacobson , said she is " skeptical that a just solution can be found " through the Argentine-Iran " truth-commission . " The Jewish community in Argentina issued the statement " to ignore everything that Argentine justice has done and to replace it with a commission that , in the best of cases , will issue , without any defined deadline , a ' recommendation ' to the parties constitutes , without doubt , a reversal in the common objective of obtaining justice . " On 28 February 2013 , the Argentine Chamber of Deputies approved the memorandum of understanding with Iran by 131 votes in favor to 113 votes against . Israel expressed disappointment at this development . Guillermo Borger , president of the AMIA , criticized the legality of the memorandum and announced that he would take it to the Supreme Court of Argentina
