Iran designates Argentine naval and air forces

Iran has designated Argentina’s Navy and Air Force as terrorist organizations, according to Xinhua and DW on November 11. DW described the move as reciprocal, while Naharnet reported that Argentina had taken a similar step months earlier, including a designation of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in late March. The reports attribute the Iranian decision to its foreign ministry, but provide few details about its effects or Argentina’s response.
