Iran Designates Argentina’s Navy And Air Force As Terrorist Organizations In Reciprocal Move
Iran’s Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday that the Argentine Navy and Air Force are now terrorist organizations under Iranian law.
The ministry said that the step rests on the principle of reciprocity and on a 2019 Iranian law on countermeasures against the US listing of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization.
It described Argentina’s decision to list the IRGC as a hostile move that breaches international law. The IRGC is an official branch of Iran’s armed forces, according to the ministry.
The ministry added that the responsibility for all consequences would lie with the Argentine government. It did not elaborate and made no mention of the Argentine Army.
Argentina listed the IRGC as a terrorist organization earlier this year, after the US administration pushed allies to take that step.
Argentina has blamed Hezbollah for the 1994 attack on the AMIA Jewish community centre in Buenos Aires that killed 85 people, and it tied its decision on the IRGC to the Guards’ support for the group.
The same step was taken against Britain on November 1, when the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force were declared terrorist organizations and MI6 was classed as a hostile group. Iran linked that decision to Britain’s listing of the IRGC under the State Threats Act 2026.
Iran did the same for the navies and air forces of all European Union member states in February, after the bloc listed the IRGC.
