Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced Wednesday, Nov. 11, that it had designated Argentina’s air and naval forces as “terrorist organizations.” The decision came in response to Argentina’s designation of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist entity in April.
In a statement, Iran’s Foreign Ministry said the Argentine government would bear responsibility for all consequences resulting from the matter. The government of President Javier Milei had not commented on Iran’s announcement.
Argentina said in April that it designated the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps because of its support for Hezbollah. The designation followed what Argentina described as the group’s backing of Hezbollah, which has been linked to the deadliest attack on Argentine soil.
In 1994, a bombing at a Jewish community center in Argentina killed 85 people and wounded hundreds. The attack is cited in the account of Argentina’s decision to designate the Guard Corps, which Iran has now answered by naming Argentina’s air and naval forces as terrorist organizations.
