Calls grow in Congress to label Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist group
Calls are intensifying on Capitol Hill to label the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization, as some US lawmakers link the group to a recent attack at a pro-"Israel" rally in Colorado. Senator Ted Cruz announced plans to reintroduce a revamped version of the Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act, saying in a post on X that he has been advocating for it 'my entire Senate career.' In the coming days, I will be circulating and re-introducing a modernized version of the Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act, which I have been pushing for my entire Senate career. As I told the Free Beacon, the Muslim Brotherhood used the Biden administration to… — Senator Ted Cruz (@SenTedCruz) June 3, 2025 He accused the movement of exploiting the Biden administration 'to consolidate and deepen their influence,' and warned that Republicans can 'no longer afford to avoid the threat they pose to Americans and American national security.' Congressman Jared Moskowitz also weighed in, sending a letter to President Donald Trump urging an official investigation into designating the Muslim Brotherhood as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. 'The organisation has a documented history of promoting extremist ideologies and supporting terrorist activities through various affiliates,' Moskowitz wrote, explicitly naming Hamas. I'm urging the President to conduct a comprehensive investigation to designate the Muslim Brotherhood a Foreign Terrorist Organization. Its history of promoting extremist ideologies and terrorist activities through affiliates like Hamas threatens our national & global security. — Congressman Jared Moskowitz (@RepMoskowitz) June 3, 2025 Other right-leaning figures, such as Congressman Randy Fine, have extended these accusations to US-based advocacy groups like the Council on American–Islamic Relations (CAIR) and Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), claiming they are funded by the Muslim Brotherhood. According to Jewish Insider, Fine described CAIR as the group's 'mouthpiece' in the US and offered to sponsor the Brotherhood designation bill in the House. The push comes after an Egyptian national, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, was accused of stabbing multiple people at a pro-"Israel" demonstration in Colorado on June 1. Eight individuals were injured in the attack. Soliman had reportedly shared Facebook posts in support of Mohamed Morsi, Egypt's former president and a prominent figure in the Muslim Brotherhood. Morsi was ousted in a 2013 military coup and died in 2019 during a court hearing. The incident has reignited far-right rhetoric. Commentator Laura Loomer labeled Soliman a 'Muslim Brotherhood terrorist' and called for sweeping deportations of Muslim immigrants. 'We need mass deportations and an Islamic travel ban ASAP,' she posted on X, blaming Republicans for being 'too afraid of being called 'Islamophobes'.' It's not enough for Republican candidates to simply say 'deport illegals'. They need to explicitly speak out about Islam and the Muslim Brotherhood. We are being killed and maimed by Muslim immigrants because Republicans were too afraid of being called 'Islamophobes'. Now… — Laura Loomer (@LauraLoomer) June 2, 2025 In a swift reaction, the Trump administration announced that Soliman's wife and five children had been taken into ICE custody and could be deported 'as early as tonight.' Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called Soliman a 'terrorist' and said authorities were investigating whether his family had knowledge of or involvement in the attack. Six One-Way Tickets for Mohamed's Wife and Five Kids. Final Boarding Call Coming Soon. — The White House (@WhiteHouse) June 3, 2025 Trump had previously considered banning the Brotherhood during his first term after Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi's visit to Washington in 2019. While officials from the Pentagon and State Department raised objections at the time, pressure to act may resurface as the 2024 political climate intensifies.

Details of Putin, Trump call on Ukraine, Iran
US President Donald Trump said he spoke to Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin Wednesday about Ukraine and Iran, warning that the Kremlin leader had "very strongly" pledged to respond to Kyiv's stunning drone attack on Russian bombers. Trump said that there was no "immediate peace" on the horizon in Ukraine, following what he described as a one hour and 15 minute call with the Russian president. On Iran, Trump said that Putin had offered to "participate" in talks on Tehran's nuclear program, as Trump accused the Islamic republic of "slowwalking" its response to Washington's offer of a deal. The call came three days after Ukraine conducted a massive, daring drone attack against Russian military airbases, saying it had destroyed several Russian nuclear-capable bombers worth billions of dollars. Trump said that he and Putin had "discussed the attack on Russia's docked airplanes, by Ukraine and also various other attacks that have been taking place by both sides." "It was a good conversation, but not a conversation that will lead to immediate Peace. President Putin did say, and very strongly, that he will have to respond to the recent attack on the airfields," Trump said in his post. Trump did not say whether he had warned Putin off any such retaliation against Ukraine, which Washington has supported to the tune of billions of dollars in its fight against Russia. The Kremlin described the call as "positive" and "productive". "At the end of the conversation, the two leaders described the exchange of views as positive and quite productive and confirmed their wish to stay in permanent contact," Putin's diplomatic adviser Yuri Ushakov told reporters. "The subject of the strikes on the military airfields was also discussed. Donald Trump underlined that the American side had not been informed in advance," Ushakov added. 'Definitive answer' The Republican has repeatedly alarmed Kyiv and Western allies by appearing to side with Putin over the war, and had a blazing Oval Office row with visiting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. But Trump has also showed growing frustration with Putin as Russia has so far derailed the US president's efforts to honor a campaign pledge to end the war within 24 hours -- even if he never explained how this could be achieved. The call between Trump and Putin did however show that Washington and Moscow may be eying cooperation on another key global issue -- Iran. Trump said he believed they were both "in agreement" that Iran could not have a nuclear weapon, and that time was running out for Tehran to respond to US offers of a deal. "President Putin suggested that he will participate in the discussions with Iran and that he could, perhaps, be helpful in getting this brought to a rapid conclusion," Trump said. The US president added: "It is my opinion that Iran has been slowwalking their decision on this very important matter, and we will need a definitive answer in a very short period of time!" Putin told his Iranian counterpart Masoud Pezeshkian that Moscow was ready to help advance talks on a nuclear deal, the Kremlin said on Tuesday. But Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said earlier Wednesday that Washington's proposal was against Tehran's national interest, amid sharp differences over whether Tehran can continue to enrich uranium.

Iran's Khamenei rejects US nuclear proposal
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei firmly rejected a US-backed proposal for a nuclear deal on Wednesday, saying it undermines the country's national interests and violates the core principles of the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Speaking in a televised address, Khamenei criticized the US for attempting to dictate terms to Tehran regarding its nuclear program. "Independence means not waiting for the green light from America and the likes of America," he said, in a clear rebuke of Western influence on Iranian policy. He described the US offer as "100 percent against" the ideals on which the Islamic Republic was founded. Khamenei also dismissed American objections to Iran's uranium enrichment, stressing that Washington had no authority to interfere. "Why are you interfering in whether Iran should have enrichment or not? You cannot have a say," he said.
