Iran designates Argentina's navy and air force as terrorist organisations

Iran has designated Argentina's navy and air force as terrorist organisations, its Foreign Ministry announced on Wednesday 11 November, according to Reuters and UPI.

The ministry called the step reciprocal. It follows Argentina's decision to list Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist group.

Argentina, under President Javier Milei, made that designation on 31 March, a little over a month after the war began, UPI reports.

Iran is relying on a 2019 law that allows it to take reciprocal action against countries that follow the US in designating the IRGC.

UPI describes the move as mostly symbolic. No sanctions or other measures were announced beyond the designations themselves.
