Iran has designated Argentina's navy and air force as terrorist organizations in retaliation for Buenos Aires' decision to designate Iran's Revolutionary Guards as a "terrorist" entity, while invoking its mutual measures legislation.
￭ In a statement dated November 11, the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned Argentina's decision as a "hostile step" that violates the "fundamental principles of international law," and emphasized that the Revolutionary Guards are "one of the pillars of the official armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran."
￭ Tehran said it was responding under its own 2019 law, titled "Reciprocal Action in Response to the United States' Designation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a Terrorist Organization."
