Tehran moves to rename Argentina Square after Buenos Aires brands IRGC terrorist

Tehran’s city council has approved a proposal to change the name of Argentina Square after Argentina designated the Revolutionary Guards a terrorist organization.

Mehdi Pirhadi, a council member, said the move was approved in light of Argentina’s stance against the Islamic Republic and that the council’s naming committee would now review replacement options and present a final proposal at a future public session.

He said the names of several killed Iranian military commanders, including Amir Ali Hajizadeh, Alireza Tangsiri, Mohammad Bagheri, Mohammad Pakpour and Majid Mousavi, had been raised as possible alternatives.
