Iran has included the Argentine Naval and Air Forces in the list of terrorist organizations.
Modern.az reports that the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement on November 11.
The statement published on the Ministry's Telegram channel stated that the Iranian government made this decision based on the principle of reciprocity and in response to Argentina's declaration of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry stated that Argentina's move contradicts the fundamental principles of international law. The institution emphasized that the IRGC is one of the main pillars of Iran's official Armed Forces.
According to the Ministry's position, the responsibility for the possible consequences of the adopted decision lies with the Argentine government.
It should be noted that Buenos Aires included the IRGC in the list of terrorist organizations at the end of March.
The Argentine side justified this decision with the terrorist acts committed in Buenos Aires in 1992 and 1994.
According to the Argentine version, those attacks were carried out by "Hezbollah", which operates as an operational unit of the IRGC in the region.
