Iran International English.
Translated from English.
Iran designated Argentina's navy and air force as terrorist organizations on Wednesday, invoking a 2019 law on mutual action after Buenos Aires designated the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry said that Argentina's move was hostile and violated fundamental principles of international law. He stated that the 2019 law, which was passed after the United States designated the Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist organization, applies to countries that follow this American decision or support it.
"All countries that follow in any way or support the US decision to define the Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist organization will be subject to reciprocal action," the Ministry of Law cited the law.
Argentina established the Revolutionary Guards on March 31. Iran's foreign ministry said the Argentine government would be responsible for "all consequences arising from this action."
