Iran declares Argentine Navy Air Force terrorist organizations

In response to the Argentine government’s hostile move, contrary to the fundamental principles of international law, in designating the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC), one of the official components of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Armed Forces, as a terrorist entity, the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran, in accordance with the principle of reciprocity and pursuant to the 2019 Law on Reciprocal Action in Response to the United States’ Designation of the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps as a Terrorist Organization, hereby declares the Argentine Navy and Argentine Air Force subject to the provisions of the aforementioned law and designates them as terrorist organizations.

The law stipulates that: “All countries that in any way comply with or support the decision of the United States of America to designate the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps as a terrorist organization shall be subject to reciprocal action.”

It is self-evident that the Argentine government shall bear responsibility for all consequences arising from this action.
