Mohsen Soltani Tehrani

Mohsen Soltani Tehrani is the Chargé d'Affaires of Iran in Argentina, effectively the highest-ranking Iranian diplomat in the country. He is newsworthy because the Argentinian government, under President Javier Milei, declared him persona non grata and ordered his expulsion from Argentina. This action, taken on April 2, 2026, follows Argentina's designation of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization. The expulsion reflects escalating diplomatic tensions between Argentina and Iran, driven by Milei's strong alignment with the United States and Israel, particularly amidst ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Soltani Tehrani's diplomatic credentials had been accepted in December 2021. His expulsion signifies a significant deterioration in Argentina-Iran relations and highlights Argentina's shifting foreign policy under its new leadership.
