Iran designates Argentine Navy, Air Force as terrorist organisations in retaliatory move

Tehran, Nov 11 (UNI) In a retaliatory move, Iran's Foreign Ministry has designated Argentina's Navy and Air Force as terrorist organisations in retaliation for Buenos Aires' decision to list Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organisation.
In a statement on Wednesday, the Iranian Foreign Ministry said the move was in response to what it described as Argentina's "hostile action" against the IRGC, a branch of Iran's armed forces.
"Given that the Argentine government, in a hostile move contrary to the fundamental principles of international law, has designated the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), which is part of the Islamic Republic of Iran's official Armed Forces, as a terrorist organisation, the Iranian government, invoking the principle of reciprocity, declares the Argentine Navy and Air Force terrorist organisations," the ministry said.
The ministry also invoked a 2019 Iranian law titled "Reciprocal Action Against the United States' Designation of the IRGC as a Terrorist Organization", which provides for reciprocal measures against countries that support or comply with the US designation of the IRGC.
It warned that the Argentine government would "bear responsibility for all the consequences" arising from the decision.
Argentina formally designated the IRGC as a terrorist organisation in March, following calls from the administration of US President Donald Trump for its allies to take similar action.
The decision was linked to the IRGC's alleged support for Hezbollah, the Lebanese armed group that Argentina holds responsible for the 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish community centre in Buenos Aires. The attack killed 85 people and injured more than 300.
Iran had strongly condemned Argentina's designation of the IRGC, describing it as "illegal and unjustified" and contrary to international law.
Earlier this month, Tehran also designated Britain's Royal Navy, Royal Air Force and Secret Intelligence Service as "terrorist and hostile" entities, citing the British government's actions against Iran.UNI AAB
