The government of Argentina has officially designated Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, a powerful military and security force under the direct command of Iran’s regime leadership, as a terrorist organization and added it to the country’s list of terrorist groups. This decision was taken within the framework of security policies and counterterrorism efforts and allows government and judicial bodies to pursue and restrict assets, activities, and any financial or organizational links associated with the IRGC.

Argentine officials have stated that this move aims to counter transnational threats, prevent the financing of terrorism, and strengthen national security. Under this decision, any form of cooperation, financial support, or logistical assistance to the IRGC on Argentine soil is criminalized.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has previously faced extensive sanctions and restrictions by several countries and international bodies due to its role in military, security, and cross-border operations. Argentina’s new decision could have significant political and diplomatic consequences for bilateral relations as well as at the regional and international levels.
