Argentinian security officials say that an Iranian couple was arrested in Buenos Aires for travelling on fake Israeli passports.

Local reports say a 27-year old man and a 30-year old woman were arrested on March 12, travelling on forged Israeli passports under the fake names of Netanel and Rivka Toledano. The couple travelled from Spain to Argentina.

Police first thought the passports were stolen but numerous misspellings in Hebrew let both Argentinian and Israeli officials realize the passports were forged. Passports with the same serial numbers were reported stolen in the past.

In recent years many Iranians have been caught with fake or stolen Israeli passports. These cases have not been necessarily related to terrorism.

A report by i24News says that Argentinian security is treating this incident as a suspected terrorism case.

March 17 is the happens to be the anniversary of a devastating 1992 bomb attack on the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires, which left 29 dead and 242 injured. Two years later, another bomb attack targeted a Jewish community center in the city, which left 85 people dead. Israel and many in Argentina and elsewhere believe Iran was behind the terror attacks.

Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte likened Theresa May to a Monty Python character who refuses to admit defeat despite losing all his limbs in a sword fight.

 

“I have a lot of respect for Theresa May. She reminds me occasionally of that Monty Python character where all his arms and legs are cut off and then says to his opponent: let’s call it a draw,” Rutte said in an interview on the “WNL op Zondag” TV show, Bloomberg reported.

He was referring to the Black Knight (played by John Cleese, a Brexiteer) in the film "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" who, even after having all of his limbs cut off by King Arthur, declares "I'm invincible."

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has reportedly ruled out a 2020 Senate run in Kansas, but he knows he will not stay in President Donald Trump's Cabinet forever, McClatchy DC reported.

 

"I try to just avoid ruling things out when there's others who are in control," Pompeo said. "The Lord will get me to the right place."

If Pompeo does not reconsider for 2020, a 2022 run for the Kansas governor's mansion or 2024 presidential run could be in his future, as his dormant federal committee has nearly $1 million in its war chest, according to the report.

 

"It's a terrible quandary because he may well be the strongest and most capable Cabinet member Trump has," Fred Berry, Pompeo's former campaign co-chair told McClatchy. "He won't be there forever."

 

Pompeo, 55, noted his future has drastically changed before, including his unexpected start in politics and meteoric rise to being Secretary of State.

"I was running a small business, living my life – it would have seemed unlikely," he told McClatchy of his foray into politics. "I try now to avoid predicting what I might do a year, two years, six years from now."

 

Despite farm bankruptcies in Kansas amid a trade war with China, strong polling numbers for President Trump and Secretary Pompeo bode well for a run in Kansas, according Sandlot Strategic founder Colin Hoffman.

"It's his race, if he gets in," Hoffman told McClatchy.
