Iran designates Argentina's navy and air force as 'terrorist organizations'
Iran said the move was in retaliation for Argentina’s April designation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, citing a 2019 reciprocity law.
- On Wednesday, the Iranian Foreign Ministry designated the Argentine Navy and Air Force as "terrorist organizations" based on the "principle of reciprocity" following Buenos Aires' April designation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
- Buenos Aires listed the IRGC as a terrorist organization in April, citing its alleged role in two 1990s attacks including the 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish community centre that killed 85 people.
- Citing a 2019 law, Tehran accused Argentina of violating international law by supporting the "US designation of the IRGC as a terrorist organization." The Ministry provided no further elaboration.
- Earlier this month, Iran designated Britain's MI6 as a hostile organization and added the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force to its terrorist list in retaliation for Britain's policies.
- The Ministry added that "it is evident that the responsibility for all consequences arising from this matter will lie with the Argentine government," while the IRGC remains an elite military force protecting Shi Muslim clerical rule.
