Iran labels Argentine Navy, Air Force terrorist groups

Iran designated Argentina’s Navy and Air Force as terrorist organizations, retaliating for Buenos Aires’s designation of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Tehran cited reciprocity and a 2019 Iranian law targeting countries that support the U.S. designation of the IRGC, and said Argentina would bear responsibility for any consequences. Argentina cited the IRGC’s alleged support for Hezbollah, which it holds responsible for the 1992 Israeli Embassy bombing and the 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish community center in Buenos Aires; Iran denies the accusations.
