Iran criticized a US plan to designate the Muslim
Brotherhood as a terrorist organization, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad
Javad Zarif said in Doha on Wednesday.
“The US is not in position to (..) start naming
others as terror organizations and we reject by any attempt by the US in this
regard,” he told reporters on a sideline of a conference. “The US is supporting
the biggest terrorist in the region, that is Israel.”
President Donald Trump is working to designate the
Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization, the White House said on
Tuesday, which would lead to sanctions against Egypt’s oldest Islamist
movement.
