  "account": "President Javier Milei has instructed Argentina's foreign ministry to begin an international arbitration against the United Kingdom over the Sea Lion offshore oil project in the Malvinas Islands. The government gave the UK two weeks to prevent any hydrocarbon exploitation on the Argentine Continental Shelf. Argentina will seek provisional measures through the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea if the UK fails to comply. The government cited UN resolutions recognizing the sovereignty dispute between Argentina and the UK over the islands and urging both nations to seek a resolution through negotiations. Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno reiterated Argentina's claim of sovereignty over the Malvinas and stated that they will continue using diplomatic, administrative, and legal measures to defend this position. The government also filed a complaint against Thales UK Limited for operations conducted without authorization by Argentine authorities.",
