The government of Argentina declared Iranian charg\u00e9 d\u2019affaires\u00a0Mohsen Soltani Tehrani\u00a0persona non grata Thursday\u00a0and gave him 48 hours to leave the country.<\/p>\n
In an official statement, the Argentine Foreign Ministry explained that it is expelling Soltani in response to the \u201cfalse, offensive, and inappropriate\u201d accusations levied by the Iranian regime against Argentina and its government after President Javier Milei designated the\u00a0Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) a terrorist organization this week \u2014 a decision welcomed<\/a> and applauded by the United States.<\/p>\n President Milei, a staunch supporter of the United States and Israel, has maintained a hardline stance on the rogue Iranian Islamic regime and, in March, declared<\/a> Iran an \u201cenemy\u201d of Argentina during a speech at Yeshiva University in Manhattan. Argentina holds Iran and its proxy terror group Hezbollah responsible for two terrorist attacks against\u00a0Jewish targets in Buenos Aires: the 1992 bombing of the Israeli embassy and the 1994\u00a0bombing of the Argentine-Israeli Mutual Association (AMIA).<\/p>\n The Argentine presidency reiterated<\/a> in its IRGC terrorist designation that local investigations determined the direct participation of top members of the corps in both attacks and that Ahmad Vahidi, who is currently\u00a0presumed<\/a> to be the IRGC chief, is actively wanted by Argentine authorities.<\/p>\n The Iranian regime, through its embassy in Montevideo, Uruguay, responded Wednesday to Milei\u00a0designating the IRGC as a terrorist organization by\u00a0condemning<\/a> the decision as \u201cillegal and unjustified\u201d and an \u201cunforgivable offense to the Iranian people,\u201d according to the outlet\u00a0Infobae<\/em>.<\/p>\n Infobae<\/em> also noted that the Iranian regime claimed that the designation generates an \u201cinternational responsibility for the Argentine State.\u201d<\/p>\n
