Story summary

On November 11, 2026, Iran designated the Argentine navy and air force as "terrorist organizations" in response to Argentina's designation of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist entity in April. Iran’s Foreign Ministry stated that this move is based on the principle of reciprocity. The Iranian government warned that any consequences resulting from this action would be the responsibility of Argentina. This reciprocal designation comes after Argentina blamed Hezbollah, an Iran-backed militant group, for the 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish community center in Buenos Aires, which killed 85 people. Argentina's foreign ministry responded by categorically rejecting Iran’s decision and called it baseless and unacceptable.
