Hezbollah's threat to the United States and Israel is not geographically confined to the Middle East. In 1992, at Iran's direction, Hezbollah bombed the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires, killing 29 people and wounding 242. And In 1994, Hezbollah ordered. Iran ordered Hezbollah to carry out the bombing of the Argentine Israelite Mutual Association Jewish Society Community center, killing another 85 people and wounding more than 300. The American Jewish Committee has described the attack as the deadliest anti Semitic attack outside of Israel since the Holocaust. (02:05–02:21)
