The request comes less than two weeks after a court in Argentina held Iran responsible for the 1994 attack on a Jewish community centre in Buenos Aires, in which 85 people were killed.

Mr Vahidi was in Pakistan earlier this week as part of an Iranian delegation which is now in Sri Lanka.

Argentina said it had also asked the two countries to detain Mr Vahidi.

The Argentine Foreign Ministry said in a statement that Interpol had issued a so-called "red notice".
