SAEDNEWS: Iran’s Foreign Ministry has announced the designation of Argentina’s Navy and Air Force as terrorist organizations in response to Buenos Aires’ decision to classify the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization.
According to Saednews, In a statement issued on Wednesday, Iran’s Foreign Ministry said Argentina had taken a hostile step against Iran by designating the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), an official branch of the Islamic Republic’s Armed Forces, as a terrorist organization, describing the move as a violation of fundamental principles of international law.
The statement said Tehran’s decision was based on the principle of reciprocity and a 2019 law entitled “Countermeasure in Response to the United States’ Designation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a Terrorist Organization.”
Under the law, any country that complies with or supports the US decision to designate the IRGC as a terrorist organization is subject to reciprocal measures.
Accordingly, Iran has declared Argentina’s Navy and Air Force subject to the law’s provisions and designated both military branches as terrorist organizations, the statement said.
The Foreign Ministry emphasized that the Argentine government would be held responsible for all consequences resulting from the decision.
