Overview
- Argentina formalized the designation through Joint Resolution 3/2026, adding the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to its terrorism and terror‑financing registry known as RePET.
- Placement on RePET authorizes asset freezes and tighter screening of funds, bank accounts, and other economic resources linked to the group or associated individuals or entities.
- The resolution cites classified assessments from the security and foreign ministries that call the IRGC a real or potential external threat to Argentina’s people and property.
- Officials point to evidence of the group’s role in financing and executing attacks, referencing the 1992 bombing of Israel’s embassy and the 1994 AMIA attack in Buenos Aires.
- Iran condemned the decision as illegal and warned of possible international claims, while Argentina says the step aligns with UN standards and will deepen information‑sharing with other states.
