BUENOS AIRES—A federal judge on Thursday dismissed allegations that Argentine President Cristina Kirchner had plotted with Iran to cover up its alleged role in a 1994 terrorist attack here, saying there was no evidence whatsoever of any crime.

The judge, Daniel Rafecas, said in a 63-page ruling that it was abundantly clear that the allegations against Mrs. Kirchner weren’t supported by any evidence presented against her.

In January, a federal prosecutor, Alberto Nisman, filed a criminal complaint against Mrs. Kirchner claiming she had led a criminal effort to sabotage his investigation into the bombing, which killed 85 people at a Jewish community center.

Mr. Nisman said the evidence for his claims, which was based largely on more than two years of intercepted phone calls involving associates of the president, was overwhelming.
