Argentina Designates Muslim Brotherhood Branches in Lebanon, Egypt and Jordan as Terrorist Groups

Officials say the listing relies on intelligence reports of transnational illicit activity.

Overview

  • The chapters were added to Argentina’s RePET registry, which targets entities linked to terrorism and its financing.
  • President Javier Milei ordered the move in coordination with the Foreign Ministry, the Security and Justice ministries, and the State Intelligence Secretariat.
  • The government cites official findings of terrorist acts, public calls to violent extremism, and links to other terrorist organizations with potential impact in Argentina.
  • Authorities say the measure strengthens prevention, early detection, and sanctions, and aligns with similar steps taken by the United States, Israel, Paraguay, the United Arab Emirates, and Egypt.
  • The Presidency announced the decision in a signed communiqué posted on social media as the Foreign Ministry reiterated guidance advising Argentines to avoid travel to Iran.
