Iran’s Foreign Ministry announced on Wednesday, Nov. 11, that it designates Argentina’s navy and air force as terrorist organizations. The ministry said the move follows the principle of reciprocity and that responsibility for all consequences lies with the Argentine government. The step comes months after Argentina’s government designated Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization earlier this year. Al Jazeera reports that Argentina’s foreign ministry categorically rejected the Iranian move as baseless.
