The government of Argentina has taken a historic step by including the Quds Force, an elite unit of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, in its Public Registry of Persons and Entities Linked to Acts of Terrorism and Their Financing.
The decision, announced from the Casa Rosada, imposes financial sanctions and operational restrictions on any entity or individual associated with the group, which does not operate as a conventional military force but is involved in highly complex international operations.
Iran reacted immediately, calling the decision “unacceptable” and warning of an “appropriate response,” questioning its political and diplomatic implications in the region. The tension between Buenos Aires and Tehran adds to a delicate international context, where the security of Latin America and the control over the financing of terrorist organizations are top priorities.

Officials at the Casa Rosada emphasized that the inclusion of the Quds Force responds to the need to protect national security and comply with international standards in the fight against terrorism.
Security agencies and the Argentine Ministry of Foreign Affairs maintain constant monitoring of all financial and logistical activities related to suspicious entities, ensuring that the measure has a real impact and is not merely a formal declaration.
The United States immediately backed Argentina’s decision, strengthening bilateral cooperation on security and defense against terrorist groups operating beyond traditional borders.
In Washington, State Department spokespeople highlighted the importance of nations in the region acting firmly against organizations that pose direct risks to Latin America’s stability and the safety of its citizens.

International policy experts note that Argentina’s measure could generate diplomatic tensions but emphasize that it also reaffirms the country’s commitment to transparency, legality, and the protection of public security.
“It is a clear signal that Argentina will not tolerate the influence of groups that threaten regional peace,” said an official speaking on condition of anonymity.
Meanwhile, security agencies continue to closely monitor financial or logistical movements linked to the group, ensuring that sanctions are effective and enforceable.
Some opposition sectors and progressive-leaning media have criticized the decision, claiming it could provoke unnecessary conflicts with Iran.
However, the government defended the measure as an act of responsibility and foresight, prioritizing public safety and institutional stability. Political analysts agree that, beyond the controversy, this action reflects a firm approach to protecting order, law, and the traditional values that sustain social cohesion.
The international reaction shows that the global left and its allies often downplay real threats, promoting misinformation and weakness in the face of actors seeking to exploit legal gaps or lack of authority.
Argentina’s decision demonstrates that defending the law, family, and freedom requires firm action against international terrorism. Ignoring these risks could weaken national security and social order, while progressive sectors prefer to justify passivity and political ambiguity.
