Iran issues warning to Argentina after designating the Quds Force as a terrorist organization
Iran's foreign minister issued a stern warning to Argentina after President Javier Milei designated the Quds Force as a terrorist organization. The statements raised concerns due to their threatening tone, although no concrete or imminent threat has been confirmed.
The Iranian regime's foreign minister issued a strong warning to Argentina on Thursday after President Javier Milei announced the designation of the Quds Force as a terrorist organization. The Quds Force is an elite division of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, specializing in asymmetric warfare, covert operations, and military intelligence.
In statements broadcast by Iranian state media, the foreign minister affirmed that the Argentine government's decision "will undoubtedly receive an appropriate response," a statement interpreted by analysts as a high-voltage diplomatic threat, although without operational details or explicit references to a specific attack.
Context of the Argentine Decision
The measure announced by Milei is part of Argentina's closer alignment with the United States and Israel on security and counterterrorism. The Quds Force has been singled out and sanctioned by several countries for its alleged involvement in armed operations, support for allied militias, and attacks abroad.
The decision also reignited historical sensitivities in Argentina due to the attacks against the AMIA Jewish community center and the Israeli Embassy, attacks that judicial investigations linked to Iranian officials and Hezbollah, although Tehran has always denied any responsibility.
International Reaction and Concern
The Iranian Foreign Minister's statements generated concern in diplomatic and security circles, especially due to the use of ambiguous language that could be interpreted as intimidating. To date, there is no official confirmation of a specific threat against Argentine territory, nor have the Buenos Aires government issued any public security alerts.
Argentine diplomatic sources indicated that the country will not change its position and that any warning will be addressed within the framework of international law and through multilateral channels.
Developing Situation
This incident adds tension to an already strained bilateral relationship and occurs within a context of high regional and international sensitivity, with increasing friction between Iran and Western governments.
Argentine authorities and security agencies continue to monitor the situation, while awaiting a possible more detailed official response from Tehran.
