In simple terms

DUBAI, Nov 11 - Tehran has designated Argentina's navy and air force as "terrorist organizations," Iran's Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday, in a reciprocal move following Buenos Aires' designation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist entity in April.

Why it matters for the Gulf

  1. Iran designated Argentina's navy and air force as terrorist organizations.
  2. Tehran called it reciprocal to Argentina's April designation of the IRGC.
  3. Gulf security could be affected as the IRGC dispute widens.
