The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran, in response to Argentina's decision more than seven months ago to include the Revolutionary Guards in the list of assassination organizations, declared the country's navy and air force as "assassination organizations."
On Wednesday, November 11, this office announced in a statement that this decision was made on the basis of the "principle of reciprocity" and with reference to the law approved in 2018.
On March 31 of this year, the Argentine government included the Revolutionary Guards in its list of assassination organizations. Buenos Aires accepted the decision, citing the role of the Revolutionary Guards and its support for Lebanon's Hezbollah in the assassination attacks in Argentina in the 1990s, including the bombing of the Amiya Jewish Center in 1994, in which 85 were killed.
A day after this decision, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Salami condemned Argentina's action and called it a "strategic mistake". In response to Tehran's statement, the Argentine government announced Salmi's representative in Buenos Aires as an "undesirable party" and gave him 48 hours to leave the country.
