According to Al Jazeera, the Argentine Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement rejecting Iran's decision to designate the Argentine Navy and Air Force as "terrorist organizations," calling the allegations baseless. The Iranian Foreign Ministry had previously stated that the decision was made on the principle of reciprocity, in response to Argentina's earlier move designating the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist entity. The aforementioned designations and assessments represent the respective stances of the two countries.
