White House Slaps Terror Label on Key Muslim Brotherhood Wings
Published Date: 11/28/2025
Presidential Document
Summary
The U.S. government is officially labeling certain Muslim Brotherhood chapters in Lebanon, Jordan, and Egypt as terrorist groups because they support violence that threatens Americans and allies. This means their assets can be frozen, and Americans can’t do business with them. These changes kick in right away to protect U.S. security and interests in the Middle East.

Assets Frozen; U.S. Transactions Prohibited
The President ordered certain Muslim Brotherhood chapters may be designated as Foreign Terrorist Organizations and Specially Designated Global Terrorists, which allows the U.S. to block or freeze their property and prohibit transactions. You (Americans) cannot do business with those designated groups, and the government may freeze assets or other property consistent with 50 U.S.C. 1702 and Executive Order 13224.
30- and 45-Day Designation Timeline
The order requires the Secretary of State and the Secretary of the Treasury to submit a joint report within 30 days of November 24, 2025, and then requires the Secretary of State or the Treasury to take all appropriate action within 45 days after that report to designate any covered chapters under 8 U.S.C. 1189, 50 U.S.C. 1702, and Executive Order 13224. These deadlines set when the government will move toward formal designations and related blocking actions.
Geographic Focus: Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt
The order specifically identifies Muslim Brotherhood chapters or subdivisions in Lebanon, Jordan, and Egypt as the subjects for possible designation as Foreign Terrorist Organizations and Specially Designated Global Terrorists. The government will consider chapters in those three countries for blocking and prohibition actions.
