Muslim Brotherhood says Trump's terror designation is 'detached from reality'

The Muslim Brotherhood has called a US executive order to begin designating some of its chapters as Foreign Terrorist Organizations "detached from reality." In a statement, the group claimed the move is politically motivated, lacks credible evidence, and is a result of pressure from Israel and the UAE. The organization argued that its independent national branches are committed to peaceful democratic processes and that the designation would undermine US national security and regional stability. The US order specifically mentioned considering chapters in Lebanon, Egypt, and Jordan for the designation.
