The Milei administration declared Iran’s highest-ranking diplomatic representative in Argentina, Mohsen Soltani Tehrani, persona non grata, ordering him to leave the country within 48 hours. According to a communiqué released by the presidential press team, the decision was made in response to what it called “false and offensive” statements made by Iran. The release went on to say these comments were an “unacceptable interference” in Argentina’s internal affairs. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar publicly showed his support for the Argentine government’s decision. Cover photo: Mohsen Soltani Tehrani (courtesy Ambito)
