## Key points

- Iran designated Argentina’s navy and air force as terrorist organisations.
- Tehran said the move was reciprocal after Argentina’s April decision.
- Argentina links the IRGC to Hezbollah and the 1994 AMIA bombing.

## Summary

Iran has classified Argentina’s navy and air force as terrorist organisations, saying the move follows the principle of reciprocity. The decision responds to Argentina’s designation of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organisation in April, escalating tensions between the two governments.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry warned that Argentina would bear responsibility for any consequences, but did not mention the Argentine army. A 2019 Iranian law provides for retaliatory measures against states that designate Iran’s military as terrorist. Argentina said its action against the IRGC was based on the force’s support for Hezbollah, which Buenos Aires holds responsible for the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community centre that killed 85 people. The US, EU and UK also classify the IRGC as a terrorist organisation.
