Overview
- Argentina, which announced the designation Tuesday, will add the IRGC to its terrorism registry to block assets and restrict transactions.
- Officials cited long‑running cases that blame Hezbollah for the 1992 Israeli Embassy bombing and the 1994 AMIA attack in Buenos Aires.
- Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar praised the move as a stand against Iran’s network, while Tehran condemned it as unlawful and harmful to ties.
- The action builds on January’s ban of the IRGC Quds Force and prior terror listings of Hezbollah and Hamas under President Javier Milei.
- Argentina recently sought the arrest of new IRGC chief Ahmad Vahidi in the AMIA case, signaling a harder line as the IRGC remains central to Iran’s security and economy.
