Argentina has officially designated the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Quds Force as a terrorist organization. The decision reflects ongoing concerns over the group’s activities outside Iran and its involvement in regional and international conflicts.
The Quds Force, a branch of Iran’s IRGC, is responsible for conducting operations beyond Iran’s borders. Since its establishment in 1988, it has been linked to supporting militant groups and engaging in activities that governments and security analysts consider destabilizing or threatening.
The move by Argentina aligns with similar measures taken by other countries seeking to curb the influence of the Quds Force. The designation aims to restrict the group’s ability to operate within Argentina and signals a broader effort to combat what authorities describe as international terrorism.
Details regarding subsequent actions or legal measures following the designation have not been specified. The decision underscores ongoing efforts by various nations to address and counter the activities of Iran’s proxy and paramilitary organizations on the global stage.
