TL;DR

- Tehran warned that Argentina will be responsible for the consequences of this decision.
- Argentina accuses the Revolutionary Guard of supporting Hezbollah, which it holds responsible for the 1992 Israeli Embassy bombing and the 1994 AMIA center bombing in Buenos Aires.

- Since taking office, Milei has strengthened relations with the United States and Israel, and Argentina expelled Iran's top diplomat in April.
