Argentina designates Iran's IRGC a terrorist organization, aligning with US
The move lets officials impose financial sanctions and other restrictions, and Argentina said the force backed Hezbollah and past attacks on Jewish targets.
- On Tuesday, Argentina, led by President Javier Milei, designated Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization, placing the elite military force under strict legal scrutiny.
- Argentina holds the IRGC responsible for supporting Lebanon-based Hezbollah, which committed the 1994 AMIA Jewish community center bombing in Buenos Aires that killed 85 and injured hundreds.
- The designation enables the government to enforce financial sanctions and operational restrictions on the IRGC, which controls large parts of Iran's economy and protects its clerical rule.
- Following a push from Trump, Argentina's policy aligns closer with the United States regarding the classification of the IRGC as a terrorist organization.
- Days earlier, Argentina designated Mexico's Jalisco New Generation Cartel as a terrorist organization, continuing a pattern of aligning policy closer with Washington.
