President Javier Milei held a new phone conversation with Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, in which he expressed his support in the face of the military escalation with Iran. The call took place days after the official visit that the Argentine president made to Israel, where he signed key agreements and announced the relocation of the Argentine embassy to Jerusalem.
Presidential sources emphasize that the conversation was yet another demonstration of the "total harmony" between both administrations. During the dialogue, Netanyahu thanked him for the visit and detailed the results of Operation Ascending Lion, through which the Israel Defense Forces eliminated more than 20 Iranian commanders.
A strategic relationship in expansion
During his stay in Israel, Milei delivered a speech before the Knesset, proposed moving the Argentine diplomatic headquarters to Jerusalem in 2026, and signed the Memorandum for Democracy and Freedom, which promotes bilateral cooperation against international terrorism and antisemitism. In addition, the opening of a direct flight between Buenos Aires and Tel Aviv was announced.
One of the most symbolic moments of the visit was Milei's participation alongside Netanyahu in a prayer at the Western Wall. This is a reserved gesture that the prime minister had only previously shared with former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro.

Condemnation of the Iranian attack and public support
After the rescheduling of the call due to the massive missile launch by the Iranian regime, Milei ordered the publication of an institutional message: "The Office of the President condemns the vile attack perpetrated by the Islamic Republic of Iran against the State of Israel...", stated the communiqué released by the official account @OPRArgentina.
Netanyahu is at the center of the global stage after ordering attacks against the Iranian military structure, with a special focus on the IRGC (Revolutionary Guard). In response, Iran launched missiles at Tel Aviv. The situation led to the direct involvement of the United States, which sent nearly 30 tanker aircraft to support the Israeli offensive.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump's administration is working on opening an indirect dialogue channel with Ali Khamenei's regime, through mediation by Qatar and Oman. The objective is to achieve a ceasefire. According to reports, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance and special envoy Steve Witkoff have already held preliminary contacts with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
Netanyahu, however, expressed his skepticism about this diplomatic path, considering that it would only give Iran time to reorganize its defensive system: "We are demolishing their military system and devastating their atomic initiative," he stated.
Israeli airstrikes left the Natanz uranium enrichment plant heavily damaged. Argentine Rafael Grossi, director of the IAEA, confirmed that Iran possesses enough material to manufacture between six and eight nuclear weapons, although he clarified that this "doesn't mean they already have an operational weapon."
