Iran is cutting its cultural and economic ties with Argentina because of the arrest of a former Iranian ambassador to Buenos Aires, state television said.

Former envoy Hadi Soleimanpour was arrested in Britain on Thursday after Argentina requested his extradition in connection with the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community center that killed more than 80 people in Buenos Aires.
