Costa Rica classifies Hamas, the Houthis, and the Revolutionary Guard as terrorist organizations and is reviewing its position on Hezbollah

San José, Costa Rica – The Costa Rican government has designated Hamas, the Houthis, and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps as “terrorist organizations.” This move aims to strengthen its security measures and combat terrorism at both the regional and international levels.

Authorities explained that this decision is part of a comprehensive strategy to cut off funding and logistical support to these organizations. Furthermore, the strategy aims to prevent any activity that could threaten national security or contribute to the escalation of conflicts outside Costa Rica.

An official statement indicated that the government will announce its position on Hezbollah at a later date. This will be done after completing studies and assessments related to its activities and influence in the region and the world. This step aims to ensure that decisions are consistent with Costa Rica’s international obligations.

Analysts believe this move reflects Costa Rica’s growing awareness of the threat posed by transnational armed groups. It also aligns with the efforts of small states to enhance their role in combating terrorism and contributing to global stability.

Official sources confirm that the government will continue to monitor any movements or activities of these organizations within its territory. It will also intensify the application of necessary sanctions and legal measures against any entity associated with them.
