Iran’s chargé d’affaires declared persona non grata in Argentina

Argentina's government declared Iran's charge ‌d'affaires, Mohsen Tehrani, "persona non grata" ‌and expelled him from the country, ​the country's Foreign Minister said in a statement.

The measure orders Tehrani to leave the country ‌within 48 hours, Caliber.Az reports, citing Russian media.

The ⁠decision comes in response to a statement released ⁠on April 1 by Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which accused ​Argentina's president ​Javier Milei, ​an ally of ‌US president Donald Trump, and his foreign minister Pablo Quirno, of being complicit in military attacks on its territory.

Argentina's Foreign Minister ‌said Iran's claims "contain false, ​offensive, and unfounded ​accusations against ​the Argentine Republic and ‌its highest authorities."

Earlier this ​week, ​the Milei government had designated the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) ​a ‌terrorist organization.
