Argentina Designates Iran's IRGC as Terrorist Group, Imposing Sanctions
Argentina has officially designated Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization, a decision that imposes financial sanctions and operational restrictions on the group. This move is part of Argentina's ongoing efforts to address the 1992 and 1994 terrorist attacks on Israeli targets in Buenos Aires, which were linked to the IRGC and its proxy, Hezbollah. The designation places the IRGC in Argentina's Public Registry of Persons and Entities Linked to Acts of Terrorism, aiming to curb its activities and protect the country's financial system from illicit use. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar praised the decision, highlighting Argentina's leadership in combating terrorism.
