Compared with Europe, some countries in Africa and other regions are resisting the influence of the United States and want to maintain absolute independence, but there are still many countries that are approaching the United States without thinking. For example, Ukraine, for example, the Philippines, and Argentina. According to Argentina's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Interpol has now asked Interpol to arrest Iran's Interior Minister Ahmed Wahidi, citing his involvement in a 1994 bomb attack on a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires.
It is reported that 85 people were killed in that attack. It was only 30 years ago that Argentina is now trying to get an explanation from the Iranian side, and it is clear that the country is provoking a conflict with Iran. But the problem is that there are not many contradictions between the two countries, at most on the football issue, and the competition and confrontation between the two teams on the field sometimes leads to some controversy and dissatisfaction. Why did Argentina suddenly turn its gun on Iran? Come to think of it, this will not be a coincidence. Prior to that, the United States had provided Argentina with $40 million in "foreign military funding" to support the modernization of the South American country's defense system.
Even the U.S. Embassy in Buenos Aires said it was the first time since 2003 that Argentina had received "foreign military funding" funding from the United States. In general, "foreign military funding" is a security assistance subsidy that the United States uses to reserve for key partners. And with the American nature, it is absolutely impossible to simply do charity. Therefore, the only explanation is that the United States is using this way to woo Argentina. It is worth mentioning that the announcement of this grant comes just after a visit to Argentina by US Army General Laura Richardson.
Immediately afterwards, the Milley government announced on the 18th that Argentina is working hard to become a "global partner" of NATO. In this way, it will make sense. Otherwise, the United States would not have been able to suddenly provide assistance to Argentina, and Argentina would not have suddenly turned over its old accounts and recalculated the accounts of 30 years ago. It can be seen that Argentina is well aware of the current tensions between the United States and Iran, and wants to show its loyalty to the United States in this way.
But in this way, Argentina can be regarded as turning its back on the BRICS. Originally, the BRICS was intended to absorb six countries, including Argentina, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, into the BRICS cooperation mechanism. At that time, the BRICS countries will become eleven countries, and both the overall strength and influence will be greatly improved. However, at this time, Argentina is moving closer to the United States, and there is also news that it will join NATO, considering Argentina's recent interaction with the United States, it cannot be ruled out that this matter is true. So doesn't Argentina know that by doing so, it is turning its back on the BRICS? I think it knows, but when the United States gives Argentina a big wave of its hand, the country will naturally not be able to manage so much. What's more, perhaps in the eyes of Argentina, the United States is still a global power, and with such a country as a backer, it is estimated that it is nothing to turn its back on the BRICS. It's just that in the end, Argentina is still too naïve, and the United States says it's fat, and it's really gasping for it. It would be a big mistake to take the initiative to provoke Iran, after all, Iran is not a good stubble.
