Argentina expels Iranian envoy in row over ‘terrorist’ label

Argentina has expelled Tehran’s diplomatic envoy following a war of words with the government of President Javier Milei, which has cheered the US-Israeli strikes on Iran. Iranian charge d’affaires Mohsen Soltani Tehrani was given 48 hours to leave the country after what Argentina’s foreign ministry called “false, offensive and baseless accusations” by Tehran against the South American country. The expulsion came two days after Argentina, led by Milei who is a top ally of President Trump and Israel, designated Iran’s IRGC a “terrorist organisation”. Iran’s Foreign Ministry accused Argentina in a statement of “siding with the aggressors” in a “clear violation” of international law.
