The Trump administration is praising Paraguay for designating Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization, as well as expanding its designations of Hezbollah and Hamas. The U.S. State Department called it a critical blow to Iran's terror network in the Western Hemisphere and a firm stand against Iranian-backed extremism. The decision is particularly significant in the Tri-Border Area, where Paraguay borders Argentina and Brazil, a financial hub for Hezbollah-linked operatives. The Trump administration plans to continue working with allies to confront Iran's global influence and is calling on all countries to hold the Iranian regime accountable.
