March 17 (UPI) -- Diplomatic tensions between Argentina and Iran escalated after Iranian state media accused President Javier Milei of crossing an "unforgivable red line" by calling the Islamic Republic an enemy and reaffirming his strategic alignment with the United States and Israel.
The warning appeared Monday in an editorial published by the Tehran Times, an English-language newspaper seen as reflecting the views of Iran's political and religious leadership. The article said Milei's government had become an "instrument" of Israel and the United States.
"Milei's statements in recent months, especially after the illegal military aggression of the United States and the Zionist regime against Iran, once again revealed a bitter and dangerous reality. The Argentine government has become an instrument of the Zionist regime and the United States to advance the project of Iranophobia," the editorial said, according to Argentine newspaper La Nación.
The piece, titled "Milei, Quo Vadis?" was published amid recent U.S. and Israeli military strikes against Iranian targets.
