The Masar Badil, the Palestinian Alternative Revolutionary Path Movement, condemns the position of the Argentine Ministry of Foreign Affairs in declaring the Chargé d’Affaires of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Argentina, Mohsen Soltani Tehrani, “persona non grata.” This decision, which entails the expulsion of the Iranian official within 48 hours, reflects the Argentine government’s policy of submission to the geopolitical interests of the United States and the genocidal “Israeli” regime. This comes in addition to the recent designation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran as a “terrorist organization.”

The expulsion of Iran’s representative in Argentina was announced on the same day as the commemoration of the “Day of the Veteran and the Fallen in the 1982 Malvinas War.” This is not a minor detail. Iran, despite three decades of systematic attacks from successive Argentine administrations, has always supported the national claim over the Malvinas Islands, recognizing the importance of all anti-colonial struggles, beyond differences with governments in power. Almost as a provocation, on the very day when Argentines turn their attention to the southern territory under the control of a colonial power to demand its restitution, Milei offers yet another display of subordination to U.S. imperialism and the genocidal “Israeli” regime, both of which have systematically opposed Argentina’s sovereignty claims over the islands in all international forums.

IN THE FACE OF PERSECUTION AND REPRESSION: UNITY, STRUGGLE AND RESISTANCE.

Since 1994, after Argentina uncritically adhered to the immediate accusations made by the genocidal “Israeli” regime and the United States against the Islamic Republic of Iran and Hezbollah for the bombing of the AMIA (Argentine Israelite Mutual Association), relations between Argentina and Iran have been significantly reduced. From that moment on, ambassadors from both countries were withdrawn, and diplomatic representations were left in the hands of chargés d’affaires.

For more than thirty years, successive Argentine governments have insisted on Iran’s ultimate responsibility for the attacks on the “Israeli” embassy in 1992 and the AMIA in 1994, whether through public statements or judicial positioning. In this way, Argentina reconfigured its security doctrine, aligning itself internationally to confront the “new enemy” — “transnational terrorism” — in cooperation with the United States and the genocidal “Israeli” regime. This reconfiguration is integrated into a framework of subordinate cooperation with agencies such as the CIA and Mossad, which shape doctrinally and operationally the definition of threats, surveillance targets, and entities to be neutralized.

In this sense, the recent actions of the Milei government against the Islamic Republic of Iran are not merely exaggerated gestures of submission to the United States and the genocidal “Israeli” regime; they are measures of social disciplining aimed at criminalizing all pro-Palestinian activism, especially Islamic expressions and those who support Iran’s legitimate sovereign right to defend itself against imperialist aggression.

Internationalist solidarity is thus incorporated into the category of threats for a political regime increasingly subordinated to imperialist interests, whose strategy of offensive across the hemisphere is expressed in the “Shield of the Americas” initiative. This project is nothing more than a contemporary and more militarized version of U.S. “Monroe Doctrine” foreign policy toward the American continent. In this scenario of war in West Asia, securing the political and military alignment of the Western Hemisphere takes on renewed importance for Washington.

All of this unfolds within a context of escalating criminal aggression by U.S. imperialism in West Asia and Latin America in its effort to preserve global hegemony. Yet, as the offensive against the peoples of the world intensifies, with genocidal wars, economic blockades, military interventions and economic colonization, the resistance in Palestine, Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq and the Islamic Republic of Iran remains on the front lines of confrontation against the United States and the colonial “Israeli” regime. Meanwhile, in the heart of the empire, millions of people are mobilizing and taking to the streets against ICE’s repressive policies and for an end to the war against Iran. In Latin America, the only path forward is organization, struggle and resistance.

As the Masar Badil, we affirm that the unity of resistance forces and free peoples is the natural response to this U.S.-Israeli aggression, and that confronting imperialist policies of repression and persecution requires broad popular mobilization on all fronts. As we stated at our recent conference in São Paulo, Brazil: “It is time to organize, expand and deepen the struggle.”
