Overview
- The Presidency announced the designation and added the three chapters to Argentina’s terrorism registry (REPET), formalizing legal and financial restrictions.
- President Javier G. Milei led the decision with coordination across the Foreign Ministry, Security, Justice and the State Intelligence Secretariat.
- The government cited official reports of transnational illicit activity, including terrorist acts, public calls to violent extremism and links with other listed groups.
- Authorities said the listing enables asset freezes, tighter transaction controls, and financial and migration alerts to limit any local activity by members or collaborators.
- Officials framed the step as aligning with a U.S. move announced a day earlier and with actions by Israel, Paraguay, the UAE and Egypt, noting prior Argentine designations of Hamas and the Cartel de los Soles.
