BUENOS AIRES — An Argentine court says Iran had ordered the deadly 1992 attack on Israel’s embassy in Buenos Aires and the 1994 attack on the Asociacion Mutual Israelita Argentina (AMIA) Jewish center, local media reports.

The ruling also implicates the Lebanese Shiite terror movement Hezbollah, declares Iran a “terrorist state” and calls the attack against the AMIA — the deadliest in Argentina’s history — a “crime against humanity,” according to court documents cited by media reports.
