Iran’s foreign ministry says it has designated Argentina’s navy and air force as “terrorist organizations,” describing the move as retaliation for Buenos Aires’ earlier decision to list Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist entity.
Sources describe the response as a reciprocal, tit-for-tat measure. Several outlets tie the escalation to Argentina’s April designation of the IRGC and note that Iran invokes international-law arguments for the decision. NDTV adds background on Argentina’s rationale, saying Buenos Aires links the IRGC to the 1994 AMIA bombing in Buenos Aires.
Different outlets emphasize different details: some focus on the direct naming of Argentine institutions, while others highlight Iranian legal framing or Argentina’s stated security justification. One report specifically notes Iran cites a 2019 reciprocal-action law, and another says Iranian authorities blame Argentina for “all consequences” stemming from the latest step.
