Iran has designated Argentina’s air force and navy as “terrorist organizations,” the country’s Foreign Ministry announced Wednesday, Nov. 11. The ministry presented the move as a reciprocal response to Argentina’s decision in April to designate Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist entity.
In a statement, Iran’s Foreign Ministry said the Argentine government would bear responsibility for any consequences arising from the decision. The government of Argentine President Javier Milei had not commented on Iran’s announcement.
Argentina said its April designation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps was based on the group’s support for Hezbollah. Hezbollah has been linked to the 1994 bombing of a Jewish center in Argentina, the deadliest attack on Argentine territory.
The bombing killed 85 people and injured hundreds. The Iranian announcement concerns Argentina’s air and naval forces; the source did not report any further details about the designation or its immediate effects.
