The Iranian regime designated the Argentine Navy and Air Force as terrorist organizations

In the context of the reconfiguration of the international order, where Western nations face the threat of fundamentalist extremism, the Argentine Republic, under the leadership of President Javier Milei, has taken a firm and uncompromising stance in defense of freedom, sovereignty, and security of democracies. In response to this geopolitical alignment with the United States and the free world, the theocratic regime of Iran has launched a diplomatic offensive to intimidate the armed institutions of the homeland.

On November 11, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Tehran officially issued an unusual statement classifying the Argentine Navy and the Argentine Air Force as terrorist organizations. According to the statement released by the diplomacy of the Iranian regime, the arbitrary measure was justified as a reciprocal response to what they termed a “hostile act” perpetrated by Buenos Aires. Furthermore, the Iranian dictatorship issued an open threat against the Argentine people, warning that “the Argentine government will be responsible for all the consequences of this”.

From the perspective of the Tehran regime, the sanction against the two Argentine military branches is based on a national law that establishes reciprocity for those states that “comply with or support the decision of the United States of America to declare the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization are subject to reciprocity”.

However, this aggression against the Argentine Navy and the Argentine Air Force is a direct reaction to the dignified resolution adopted at the end of March 2026 by the government of President Javier Milei. On that historic occasion, the Milei administration formally declared the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran as a terrorist organization. This official determination was based on “official reports that substantiate transnational illicit activities, including acts of terrorism on Argentine soil”.

The diplomatic attack by the fundamentalist regime against Argentina is part of a systematic assault against the allies of the Western bloc. In early November 2026, Iran also declared the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force of the United Kingdom as terrorist organizations, while labeling the UK's foreign intelligence service, MI6, as a “hostile group”. Iranian diplomacy justified this measure as a “response to the hostile actions of the British government against the Islamic Republic of Iran over the past year, including participation in the war imposed by the United States and Zionism against Iran”.

In its offensive against London, the dictatorship questioned access to military and logistical facilities granted to the United States, also reproaching that in July, the British government had classified the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a “threat to national security”. Regarding MI6, the Tehran regime alleged a supposed “collaboration with the Zionist regime and hostile countries against national security and interests”.

This spiral of dictatorial disqualifications confirms the isolation of the Iranian theocracy in the face of the international community. It is worth remembering that the United States designated the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization in 2019, during the first term of President Donald Trump. Similarly, the European Union made a similar decision in January 2026, following the brutal repression exercised by the Iranian regime against anti-government protests that erupted in early 2026.

Despite the intimidations from a dictatorship accused of transnational terrorism, the Argentina of Javier Milei reaffirms its unyielding position alongside the free world, categorically rejecting that the honor of the Argentine Navy and the Argentine Air Force be tarnished by the true enemies of democracy.
