Kirchner is expected to mention Argentina's probe into Iranian involvement in a deadly attack on the Argentine Jewish Mutual Association in 1994 that left 85 dead and 300 injured. If Kirchner accuses Iran of wrongdoing, "numerous countries will understand that Argentina is in favor of war," Baharvand said. Four relatives of victims from the attack, as well as leaders of top Jewish associations in Argentina, also planned to travel to New York and attend the session.
