The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs declared organizations of the Argentine Navy and Air Force.

The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced, in a statement published on the 20th of Bavin 1405, the designation of the Argentine Navy and Air Force as terrorist organizations, in response to the definition of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization by the Argentine government. The statement said that the Argentine government took a hostile action, contrary to the basic principles of international law, by designating the Revolutionary Guard Corps, which is one of the pillars of the official armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, as a terrorist organization. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs added that the Islamic Republic, based on the principle of reciprocity, and the law of mutual action against the designation of the Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist organization by the United States, which was issued in 2019, considers the Argentine Navy and Air Force covered by the provisions of this law, and declares them to be terrorist organizations. The statement confirmed that the Argentine government bears responsibility for all the consequences arising from this decision.
