Iran designates Argentina’s navy and air force as ‘terrorist organisations’
Tehran’s designation of Argentina’s navy and air force as terrorist organisations was a retaliatory move after Buenos Aires designated Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) a terrorist organisation in April.
Tehran has labeled Argentina's navy and air force as "terrorist organizations," according to Iran's Foreign Ministry. This move comes in response to Argentina's designation of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist entity in April. The IRGC is an elite military force that safeguards the Shi'ite Muslim clerical rule in Iran and wields significant control over the nation's economy.
Iran asserts that the Argentinian air force and navy are classified as terrorist organizations based on the principle of reciprocity. The Foreign Ministry emphasized that all consequences stemming from this decision will be the responsibility of the Argentine government, but refrained from elaborating further. Argentina's foreign ministry categorically rejected Iran's decision, stating that the April measure taken against Iran's IRGC was due to the support provided to Hezbollah.
Hezbollah, backed by Iran, is blamed for the deadliest bombing in Argentina's history, which occurred in 1994 and resulted in 85 deaths and numerous injuries in Buenos Aires.
