Iran on Wednesday, November 11, designated Argentina’s navy and air force as terrorist organizations, the Iranian Foreign Ministry announced in a retaliatory move reported by Reuters.
Tehran acted on what it called the principle of reciprocity after Argentina listed Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization in April, part of a push by US President Donald Trump’s administration for allied nations to blacklist the force.
“Clearly, all consequences arising from this will fall upon the Argentine government,” the Iranian Foreign Ministry said in a statement, giving no further operational details and omitting Argentina’s army from the designation.
When Argentina blacklisted the IRGC in April, officials cited Iran’s backing for Lebanon’s armed group Hezbollah, which Buenos Aires blames for the 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish community center in Buenos Aires that killed 85 people and wounded hundreds in the deadliest attack in the South American country’s history.
