❗️Iran blacklists Argentina’s military after Buenos Aires targets Revolutionary Guard Tehran has officially designated Argentina’s navy and air force as "terrorist organizations" in a reciprocal measure after Buenos Aires blacklisted the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), according to a statement published on the Iranian Foreign Ministry's official Telegram channel. Calling the Latin American state's decision a "hostile act" and a clear violation of international law principles, the ministry stressed that the IRGC constitutes "one of the pillars of the official armed forces" of Iran. The reciprocal blacklist is enforced under a 2019 Iranian parliamentary law requiring state countermeasures against any country supporting or aligning with Washington’s designation of the IRGC. Warning of severe diplomatic fallout over the decision, the ministry stated that “it is self-evident that responsibility for all consequences arising from this matter will rest with the government of Argentina”. The move follows Argentina's decision late last March to brand the IRGC a terrorist entity, a action warmly welcomed by Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar. Buenos Aires justified the move by citing alleged Iranian connections to the 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish community center. Tehran completely rejects those allegations, asserting that Argentina acted under direct influence from Washington and Tel Aviv in what it termed a "strategic mistake and unforgivable insult to the Iranian nation."
