Iran will hold a festival of cartoons minimizing and mocking the Holocaust, a repeat of a similar event held in the country in 2006. Tehran’s efforts to trivialize Nazi Germany’s near-annihilation of European Jewry, which extend into virulent and explicit Holocaust denial, have caused concern among foreign policy analysts that the regime might be ideologically fixated on promoting anti-Semitic violence. Analysts cite Iran’s direct links to the 1994 bombing of a Jewish center in Buenos Aires as evidence that Tehran is specifically committed to globally targeting Jews.
