US and Nine Allies Accuse Iran of Western Hemisphere Terrorism
The United States and nine allies issued a joint declaration accusing Iran and its proxies of conducting terrorist activities and malign operations across the Western Hemisphere.
The Government of the United States, Canada, and eight Latin American and Caribbean nations issued a joint declaration on October 6 accusing Iran and its proxies of conducting terrorist activities and malign operations across the Western Hemisphere. The coalition, which includes Argentina, Colombia, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, and Trinidad and Tobago, alleged that Iran engages in lethal plotting, unlawful fundraising, political interference, and foreign influence campaigns.
This diplomatic action follows a Countering Transnational Terrorism Forum co-hosted by the United States and Paraguay last month to improve law enforcement cooperation. The United States Department of State framed the initiative as a component of the Trump administration's security objectives, though the declaration did not cite specific incidents or plots.
Iran has consistently dismissed these allegations, claiming the United States uses military pressure and sanctions to pursue geopolitical goals.
