Wikipedia put it more complicated:
Different definitions
Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama are traditionally the seven Central American countries in political geography. "Central America" may mean different things to various people, based upon different contexts:
The non-official United Nations geoscheme for the Americas defines Central America as all states of mainland North America south of the United States, hence grouping Mexico as part of North America for statistics purposes, but historically Mexico is considered Central America.[8]
Middle America is usually thought to comprise Mexico to the north of the 7 states of Central America as well as Colombia and Venezuela to the south. Usually, the whole of the Caribbean to the northeast, and sometimes the Guyanas, are also included. According to one source, the term "Central America" was used as a synonym for "Middle America" at least as recently as 1962.[9]
In Ibero-America (Spanish and Portuguese speaking American countries), the Americas are considered a single continent (America), and Central America is considered a subregion of the continent comprising the seven countries south of Mexico and north of Colombia.[citation needed]
For the people living in the five countries, formerly part of the Federal Republic of Central America there is a distinction between the Spanish language terms "América Central" and "Centroamérica". While both can be translated into English as "Central America", "América Central" is generally used to refer to the geographical area of the seven countries between Mexico and Colombia, while "Centroamérica" is used when referring to the former members of the Federation emphasizing the shared culture and history of the region.[citation needed]
In Portuguese as a rule and occasionally in Spanish and other languages, the entirety of the Antilles is often included in the definition of Central America. Indeed, the Dominican Republic is a full member of the Central American Integration System.[citation needed]

EDIT: My apologies for earlier post. Edited it when I realized it was a mistake.
Though if the United States of America has difficulty dealing with former presidents who committed crimes, would it be as problematic for Brazil to go after a former president?

They've done it loads of times before. Hell, Lula was in jail before he became president this time around.

That's like one of the diplomatic no-nos, right? Like the kind of things countries would go to war over a hundred or two hundred years ago?
Well, or at least gift a really big diamond.

Yeah violating the sovereignty of an embassy is a pretty big Fee Fi Faux Pas as far as diplomacy goes.

Well, is not that like Lopez Obrador would want to play war with a very far country just because Ecuador hit his diplomatic berserk buttons.
But just take in account Ecuador protected Julian Assange for a long time, just imagine if the United Kingdom made the same to take away Assange.
As a thing we dont usually go to war between state, we have armed conflict that is between insurgent like guerilla or criminal gangs.

Also, the USA went on record that it wants this thing settled diplomatically, so even if AMLO wanted to use the tanks, Biden is going to put the foot down the moment it looks like something will flare up.
Instead of focusing on relatives that divide us, we should find the absolutes that tie us.

There's buzz going on that NATO got a request from Buenos Aires to join.
Note that they’re not looking to become a member of the alliance, they’re looking to become a “accredited partner”, this would also require the unanimous consent of all current NATO members, including the U.K.

And the U.K. will never agree to that unless the Malvinas/Falklands dispute is settled down.
Instead of focusing on relatives that divide us, we should find the absolutes that tie us.
Not necessarily. Greece and Turkey have several territorial disputes and they both joined as full members. But the UK would need guarantees that Argentina won't try to press their claims militarily again.

Greece and Turkey were admitted at the same time. Specifically because it was known that if one got in first they’d block the other.
Venezuelan Navy announced that it acquired the CM-90 from Iran. Missile's an export version of the Nasir missile.
There is also the term Ibero-America, meant to encompass former Spanish and Portuguese colonies.
