Iran announced on Wednesday that it would designate Argentina’s Navy and Air Force as “terrorist organisations”, in a reciprocal move following Argentina’s March designation of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Iran’s Foreign Ministry said the decision was based on the principle of reciprocity and warned that Argentina would bear responsibility for its consequences. The statement did not mention Argentina’s Army. Buenos Aires strongly rejected the move, calling the designation baseless and unacceptable. Relations between the countries have been strained for decades, particularly over the 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish community centre in Buenos Aires, which killed 85 people. Argentina has blamed Iran-backed Hezbollah for the attack. (PC: X)
