Iran on Wednesday designated Argentina's navy and air force as terrorist organizations, retaliating against President Javier Milei's government for blacklisting the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Tehran invoked a 2019 law requiring countermeasures against any country backing the American designation. Argentina listed the IRGC after investigations into the 1992 Israeli Embassy bombing and the 1994 AMIA Jewish community center bombing, which killed 114 people. Argentina says senior Iranian officials and IRGC members helped plan the attacks, carried out by Hezbollah terrorists.
