The attack killed 85 people and injured over 300 others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier this month, the Iranian Foreign Ministry announced that Tehran had designated Britain&#8217;s Royal Navy, Royal Air Force and Secret Intelligence Service as &#8220;terrorist and hostile&#8221; entities over the British government&#8217;s anti-Iran actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.igihe.com\/en\/2026\/11\/1405082009241548438913414.jpeg\" alt=\"Iran designates Argentine Navy, Air Force as terrorist organizations\" class=\"wp-image-2000131995\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.igihe.com\/en\/2026\/11\/1405082009241548438913414.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/cdn.igihe.com\/en\/2026\/11\/1405082009241548438913414-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.igihe.com\/en\/2026\/11\/1405082009241548438913414-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Iran&#8217;s Foreign Ministry announced on Wednesday that the country has designated the Argentine Navy and Air Force as terrorist organizations.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iran&#8217;s Foreign Ministry announced on Wednesday that the country has designated the Argentine Navy and Air Force as terrorist organizations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":131,"featured_media":2000131995,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"archived_slugs":[],"footnotes":"","igh_game_id":0},"categories":[48],"tags":[151,101],"byline":[235],"hashtag":[],"class_list":["post-2000131994","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics-48","tag-editors-choice","tag-internationl","byline-xinhua"],"bylines":[{"id":235,"name":"Xinhua","slug":"xinhua","description":"","image":{"id":0,"url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&f=y&r=g","alt":"Default avatar","title":"Default avatar","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","sizes":[]},"user_id":80,"twitter_handle":""}],"contributors":[{"id":235,"name":"Xinhua","slug":"xinhua","description":"","image":{"id":0,"url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&f=y&r=g","alt":"Default avatar","title":"Default avatar","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","sizes":[]},"user_id":80,"twitter_handle":""}],"featured_image":{"id":2000131995,"url":"https:\/\/cdn.igihe.com\/en\/2026\/11\/1405082009241548438913414.jpeg","alt":"Iran designates Argentine Navy, Air Force as terrorist organizations","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","width":800,"height":533,"sizes":{"thumbnail":{"url":"https:\/\/cdn.igihe.com\/en\/2026\/11\/1405082009241548438913414-150x150.jpeg","width":150,"height":150},"medium":{"url":"https:\/\/cdn.igihe.com\/en\/2026\/11\/1405082009241548438913414-300x200.jpeg","width":300,"height":200},"medium_large":{"url":"https:\/\/cdn.igihe.com\/en\/2026\/11\/1405082009241548438913414-768x512.jpeg","width":768,"height":512},"large":{"url":"https:\/\/cdn.igihe.com\/en\/2026\/11\/1405082009241548438913414.jpeg","width":800,"height":533},"full":{"url":"https:\/\/cdn.igihe.com\/en\/2026\/11\/1405082009241548438913414.jpeg","width":800,"height":533}}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2000131994","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/131"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2000131994"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2000131994\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2000131996,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2000131994\/revisions\/2000131996"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2000131995"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2000131994"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2000131994"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2000131994"},{"taxonomy":"byline","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/byline?post=2000131994"},{"taxonomy":"hashtag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hashtag?post=2000131994"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
