Iran designates Argentina's navy and air force as terrorist organizations
Iran's Foreign Ministry announced that it had designated Argentina's navy and air force as “terrorist organizations” under the principle of reciprocity, in response to Buenos Aires placing Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on its terrorism list last April.
Iran's Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Wednesday that Tehran considers Argentina's air force and navy “terrorist organizations” based on the “principle of reciprocity,” in a move that came in response to Argentina designating Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization.
The statement added that “it is clear that responsibility for all consequences arising from this matter will fall on the Argentine government,” without providing further details. The statement did not refer to Argentina's army.
Argentina designated the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization in April, after pressure from US President Donald Trump's administration on Washington's allies to take similar steps. Buenos Aires justified its decision by citing the Corps' support for Lebanon's Hezbollah.
Argentina holds Hezbollah responsible for the deadliest bombing in its history, the 1994 attack on the Argentine Israelite Mutual Association (AMIA) center in Buenos Aires, which killed 85 people and injured hundreds.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is an elite military force that protects Iran's ruling system and controls broad sectors of the Iranian economy.
