The Trump administration is moving to designate the Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood (SMB) as a terrorist organization, effective March 16, 2026, citing its role in the Sudanese civil war and ties to Iran. The State Department says the SMB has contributed thousands of fighters to the conflict, with training and support from Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The SMB is accused of using violence against civilians, including mass executions based on ethnicity and affiliation. Experts note the Muslim Brotherhood's deep connections within the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and historical links to Osama Bin Laden. This action follows the November sanctioning of Muslim Brotherhood groups in Egypt, Jordan, and Lebanon, signaling a broader effort to counter the organization's activities.
