The claim states the announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Initial actions occurred on January 13, 2026, designating three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorists, which officials described as opening actions in a broader effort. As of February 13, 2026, reporting indicates this was the first step, with officials signaling more designations to come but no confirmable follow-on targets publicly announced by that date.
Update · Feb 14, 2026, 03:13 AMin_progress
Restated claim: The January 13, 2026 announcements signal a continuing
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Progress evidence: The initial actions were publicly announced on January 13, 2026, with the Treasury and State Departments designating three Muslim Brotherhood chapters (
Egyptian,
Jordanian, and
Lebanese) as terrorist entities as part of a coordinated effort. Coverage from Reuters, AP, and official State/Treasury releases confirm this first set of designations and describe them as the opening actions of an ongoing campaign.
Status as of 2026-02-13: There is no widely reported follow-up designation targeting additional MB chapters in the weeks following the initial announcements. Our best open-source indicators show the January 13 packages as the first step, with no publicly documented new targets by mid-February. This suggests the promise of a sustained effort remained in the early implementation phase, but the completion condition (additional designations) had not yet been realized by that date.
Evidence of milestones and sources: Key milestones include the January 13, 2026 Treasury/State actions and accompanying statements (e.g., State Department release and Treasury OFAC designation notice). Reputable outlets (Reuters, AP) and official agency releases corroborate these milestones and frame them as the start of an ongoing policy effort. The reliability of these sources is high for formal sanctions actions and official policy statements.
Source reliability note: Primary confirmations come from official U.S. government releases (State, Treasury) and corroborating reporting from Reuters and AP, which are standard benchmarks for verifying sanctions actions and subsequent coverage. These sources consistently describe the actions as the opening phase of a broader effort rather than a completed campaign.

Restated claim: The January 13, 2026 Treasury and State announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Progress evidence: The January 13, 2026 press releases from the U.S. Treasury and State Departments announced the initial designations of three Muslim Brotherhood chapters (
Lebanese,
Egyptian, and
Jordanian) as terrorist entities, describing them as opening actions in a broader effort to curb the group’s support for terrorism.
Current status: As of February 13, 2026, there is no publicly reported evidence that additional Muslim Brotherhood chapters have been designated since the initial actions. Multiple outlets and official notices highlighted the first actions and framed them as the start of an ongoing effort, but no subsequent designations were publicly documented within the time frame.
Date-specific milestones and reliability: The primary milestones are the Jan 13, 2026 designations by State and Treasury (OFAC) and their stated intent to pursue further actions. Reputable sources include State.gov and Treasury.gov press releases, corroborated by major outlets (AP, The Hill, etc.). No conflicting or refuting evidence has been identified in the cited period. The trajectory remains consistent with stated policy, but completed milestones beyond the initial designations have not been publicly confirmed in the period examined.
Note on incentives and context: The announcements align with U.S. counterterrorism policy goals. Analyzing incentives suggests a mix of national-security aims and sanctions enforcement, with ongoing monitoring for enforcement effectiveness and potential political sensitivity around designating additional chapters.

Restated claim: The January 13, 2026 Treasury/State announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Evidence of progress: On January 13, 2026, state and Treasury releases designated three Muslim Brotherhood branches as terrorist organizations (FTO/SDGT), framed as the first actions of a broader effort (State Department release; Treasury SB0357). Evidence of current status: Public reporting through February 2026 shows no widely publicized further designations beyond the January 13 actions, indicating the effort remains in early implementation or expansion planning rather than completed, with continued expectations of additional actions stated by officials. Milestones and dates: January 13, 2026 – initial designations announced; ongoing monitoring for subsequent designations as part of the sustained effort. Reliability note: Information comes from official U.S. government statements (State Department and Treasury) and corroborating coverage from reputable outlets (AP, Reuters), which together support the identification of initial steps and the stated intent to expand, while leaving future actions contingent on policy developments. Follow-up considerations: Monitor for new designations or policy updates in the coming months to confirm whether additional Muslim Brotherhood chapters are designated under the ongoing effort.
Update · Feb 13, 2026, 08:56 PMin_progress
Claim restatement: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Evidence of progress: On January 13, 2026, the State Department and Treasury announced the designation of three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations, described as the first actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to curb MB violence and destabilization, with language about future designations.
Current status: The January 2026 designations represent concrete progress and initiate the promised sustained effort. There is no public reporting of a complete rollout of all anticipated MB designations since then, but related sanctions actions in 2026 by Treasury/State indicate ongoing use of sanctions tools consistent with a continuing effort.
Dates and milestones: The key milestone is January 13, 2026, when three MB chapters were designated as terrorist organizations, framed as the start of a broader campaign. Subsequent 2026 sanctions actions suggest continued activity, though a full list of additional designations remains undisclosed.
Source reliability note: Information comes from official U.S. government statements (State Department, Treasury) and corroborating reporting from reputable outlets; these sources provide direct statements about intent and actions, though future designations have not been publicly enumerated.
Update · Feb 13, 2026, 07:37 PMin_progress
Restated claim: The January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The Treasury and State designations issued that day marked the first actions in what they described as an ongoing, sustained campaign to curb MB activity and its support for terrorism (OFAC/State press materials, Jan 13, 2026).
Progress evidence: Official actions on January 13, 2026 designated
Lebanese MB as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT), with the
Egyptian and
Jordanian MB branches designated as SDGT for material support to Hamas (State press release, Jan 13, 2026; Treasury press release, Jan 13, 2026). These moves were presented as the opening actions of a broader effort to choke MB resources and capabilities (State/Treasury releases).
Current status: As of February 13, 2026, there have been no publicly announced additional MB designations beyond the initial tranche, though officials described the measures as part of an ongoing campaign. The announcements explicitly framed future designations as part of the sustained effort, without a stated completion date (State press statement, Jan 13, 2026; Treasury press release, Jan 13, 2026).
Milestones and reliability: Key milestones include the joint designations on Jan 13, 2026 (Lebanese MB as FTO/SDGT; EMB leader as SDGT; Egyptian and Jordanian MB SDGT). The sources are official U.S. government releases (State and Treasury) and reflect the stated intent of ongoing action, though they provide no concrete timeline for subsequent designations. Overall, these are high-reliability, primary-source materials, though future actions remain unspecified in the current record.
Notes on incentives: The moves align with U.S. counterterrorism policy objectives and leverage sanctions authorities to disrupt MB funding and operations, creating incentives for MB affiliates to alter activities or risk further designation (as described in the broad framing of OFAC and State actions). Ongoing designations would depend on evolving assessments of MB branches’ activities and links to terrorism.
Update · Feb 13, 2026, 04:40 PMin_progress
The claim states that the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Publicly available statements confirm the initial actions on that date, designating three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations and framing these as opening actions in a broader, ongoing effort to thwart violence and destabilization. The administration described the designations as part of a sustained push to deprive these chapters of resources to engage in or support terrorism. As of mid-February 2026, there were no additional designations announced beyond the initial three branches, indicating the effort is still in its early phase.
Update · Feb 13, 2026, 02:34 PMin_progress
Restated claim: The January 13, 2026 Treasury/State announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Progress to date: The State Department designated the
Lebanese MB branch as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and an SDGT, and the MB leader as an SDGT. Treasury/OFAC designated the
Egyptian and
Jordanian MB branches as SDGTs for providing material support to Hamas. These actions reflect the opening steps of the ongoing effort described in the release.
Milestones and timing: A February 2026 action by Treasury/OFAC targeted MB-related actors for Hamas support, consistent with the stated plan to expand designations. State Department materials reiterated that today’s designations are the first actions in a sustained campaign.
Evidence and completion status: The announcements frame ongoing action with the possibility of additional designations, but no final completion date is provided. The evidence shows at least one subsequent designation and public framing of ongoing efforts.
Source reliability and context: The claims originate from official U.S. government statements (State Department and Treasury) and were corroborated by major outlets reporting on the sanctions. Readers should monitor future OFAC/State releases for concrete milestones and added designations.
Bottom line: As of 2026-02-13, the claim remains in_progress, with initial designations and a stated plan for additional actions rather than a completed, closed program.
Update · Feb 13, 2026, 01:20 PMin_progress
What the claim asserts: The January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The initial action designates three MB chapters and a leader, framed as the opening actions of a broader, continuous campaign (State Dept, 2026-01-13; Treasury/DOJ accompanying release).
Progress to date: On January 13, 2026, the State and Treasury Departments designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations and SDGT, including designation of a MB leader as SDGT (State Dept release; Treasury press release). This establishes a concrete early milestone in the claimed sustained effort (State 2026-01-13; Treasury 2026-01-13).
Current status of the promise: There is evidence of continued rhetoric about “additional terrorist designations” as part of the ongoing effort, but by mid-February 2026 no additional MB-designation announcements had been publicly reported beyond the January 13 actions (State/Treasury releases; subsequent coverage). The available reporting indicates progress in the initial phase, with the overarching sustained-designation goal described as ongoing rather than complete.
Evidence of reliability and milestones: The primary milestones are the formal designation actions on January 13, 2026, backed by statements from the State Department and Treasury Department; reporting from major outlets corroborates the scope of the initial designations and the framing of further actions to follow (State Dept 2026-01-13; AP 2026-01-13). Sources are official government releases and mainstream coverage, supporting reliability.
Follow-up: The status should be revisited on or after 2026-06-13 to confirm whether additional MB-designations have been announced and implemented (official statements from State/Treasury; corroborating coverage).
Update · Feb 13, 2026, 11:42 AMin_progress
Claim restatement: The administration said the January 13, 2026 actions would mark the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to designate Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorists, with further designations to follow. This is stated directly in the Jan. 13, 2026 Treasury and State announcements (Treasury sb0357; State press release).
Evidence of progress: On January 13, 2026,
the United States designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations, with accompanying designation of at least one leader, as part of the announced effort (State Jan. 13, 2026; Treasury Jan. 13, 2026). The statements frame these steps as the opening actions of a broader, ongoing campaign (State Jan. 13, 2026).
Current status as of 2026-02-13: There is no public record of additional Muslim Brotherhood designations having been announced after January 13, 2026. Reputable outlets and official sources reported the initial designations but did not indicate further actions completed by mid-February (State Jan. 13, 2026; Treasury Jan. 13, 2026).
Reliability and incentives: The designations come from the U.S. Treasury and State Departments, reflecting formal counterterrorism authorities and sanctions tools. Coverage from major outlets corroborates the government’s stated aim of an ongoing, sustained effort, though incentives for rapid expansion of designations are not detailed in the public record beyond the stated policy objective (State Jan. 13, 2026; Treasury Jan. 13, 2026).
Update · Feb 13, 2026, 09:22 AMin_progress
Claim restatement: The January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Evidence of initial progress: The State Department designated the
Lebanese MB as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and a Specially Designated Global Terrorist, while the Treasury designated the
Egyptian and
Jordanian MB chapters as SDGTs, describing these actions as the first steps in a broader campaign. The communications frame these actions as the opening phase of a sustained effort with the potential for future designations and other measures. These actions are linked to the Administration’s November 2025 Executive Order 14362 framework.
Update · Feb 13, 2026, 05:58 AMin_progress
Restatement of claim: The January 13, 2026 announcement describes an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort to thwart Muslim Brotherhood violence, including through additional terrorist designations of Brotherhood chapters. The claim centers on promises of further designations beyond the initial actions. (Treasury SB0357; State Department designation press release)
Scheduled follow-up · Feb 13, 2026
Update · Feb 13, 2026, 04:07 AMin_progress
Restated claim: The January 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort to curb Muslim Brotherhood activity and indicates that additional terrorist designations targeting MB chapters will follow. The language frames these actions as the start of a continuing campaign rather than a one-off move. Evidence will be tracked against subsequent actions to confirm ongoing progress.
Progress to date: On January 13, 2026, the U.S. designated
Egyptian,
Lebanese, and Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood chapters as Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGTs), marking the first actions of the stated sustained effort. The Treasury’s OFAC designation package explicitly framed these steps as part of an ongoing campaign that would include future designations. DoS and OFAC announcements corroborate that a multi-chapter approach was taken in this initial wave.
Milestones and actors: The Treasury OFAC action designated MB branches as SDGTs under E.O. 13224, with parallel DoS designations in the same broad move. The Treasury press release explicitly says the actions reflect the first actions of an ongoing effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization, including through additional designations. Reuters coverage confirms the Egyptian, Lebanese, and
Jordanian branches were targeted in this first round, signaling a coordinated, multi-agency response.
Current status as of 2026-02-12: There have not been publicly announced additional MB designations between January 13 and February 12, 2026 beyond the initial three branches. The available records show the January 13 wave as the primary, publicly reported set of MB-related designations in this cycle. The administration has signaled intent for more designations, but concrete, publicly disclosed actions beyond January appear not to have occurred yet.
Reliability and context: The key sources are the Treasury press release (SB0357), OFAC’s recent actions pages, and Reuters reporting of the January 13 designations. These are official government documents and a major independent wire service, which together support the claim of an ongoing, multi-step campaign rather than a completed, closed set of actions. Given the policy emphasis on a sustained effort, the absence of additional MB designations by early February 2026 is consistent with an ongoing process rather than a final completion.
Follow-up: To reassess completion, check for any new OFAC or DoS MB-designation actions after 2026-03-31 and monitor Treasury press releases for updates on additional MB chapters being targeted.
Update · Feb 13, 2026, 02:27 AMin_progress
Restated claim: The January 13, 2026 Treasury/State announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The designations issued on that date were presented as the opening actions of a broader, continuing effort to cripple MB activity and its support networks. Evidence of progress: On January 13, 2026, the U.S. Departments of the Treasury and State designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters (
Lebanese,
Egyptian, and
Jordanian) as terrorist organizations or SDGTs, and linked them to Hamas. The agencies framed these actions as the first steps in an ongoing, sustained campaign to deter MB violence and destabilization and to deprive MB entities of funding and resources. Current status of the broader effort: There is no publicly announced follow-up designation by February 12, 2026 beyond the initial actions. Official statements emphasize an ongoing policy trajectory, but no additional MB chapters have been publicly designated since the January 13 action. Reliability of sources: The primary sources are official U.S. government releases from the Treasury and State Department, which provide contemporaneous, authoritative statements of policy and designations. Media coverage from major outlets corroborates the action and framing, but the definitive status rests with official OFAC and State/DOJ announcements. Context on incentives: The designations reflect a policy stance to disrupt financing and operational capacity of MB-related entities, aligning with U.S. counterterrorism objectives and sanctions regimes. As of this date, the incentive structure is to deter MB activity through financial restrictions, while signaling an ongoing commitment to expand designations if warranted by risk assessments.
Completion due · Feb 13, 2026
Update · Feb 12, 2026, 11:48 PMin_progress
Claim restated: The January 13, 2026 Treasury/State designations are described as the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The administration framed these steps as part of a broader campaign to counter Muslim Brotherhood violence and destabilization, using all available tools to deprive the groups of resources (official statements, 2026-01-13).
Evidence of progress: On January 13, 2026, three Muslim Brotherhood chapters were designated as terrorist organizations, marking the first concrete actions of the stated ongoing effort (State Dept press release; Treasury OFAC designation release, 2026-01-13). These actions establish the framework for future use of designations and related tools (State/Treasury communications).
Evidence regarding completion or continuation: As of February 12, 2026, there was no publicly announced follow-up designation of additional MB chapters beyond the initial three. Officials describe the effort as ongoing, but no further designations have been publicly disclosed within the given timeframe (State Dept 2026-01-13; Treasury 2026-01-13; public reporting through 2026-02-12).
Source reliability and context: The core claims derive from official U.S. government communications—the State Department and Treasury press materials—supplemented by AP and other outlets summarizing the actions. These sources provide direct statements about intent and the initial actions, though they do not specify a published timeline for further designations (State Dept 2026-01-13; Treasury 2026-01-13; AP 2026-01-13).
Incentives and policy implications: The announcements signal a policy shift aimed at constraining MB chapters’ financing and capabilities, aligning with a broader counterterrorism framework. The emphasis on continued designations implies a potential reinforcement effect on allied and partner enforcement, though the concrete pace of further actions remains uncertain.
Notes on uncertainty: Given the absence of announced subsequent designations by February 12, 2026, the claim’s promise of ongoing, additional designations is plausible but unconfirmed in the public record within the short window after the initial actions.
Update · Feb 12, 2026, 07:27 PMin_progress
Restating the claim: the Treasury and State Department announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The initial release framed the actions as opening actions in a broader, continuing campaign to deny resources to MB chapters and curb their violence and destabilization, with further designations expected.
Evidence of progress: on January 13, 2026, U.S. Treasury’s OFAC and the State Department publicly designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters (
Lebanese,
Jordanian, and
Egyptian) as terrorist entities, described as the opening actions of the sustained effort. The statements framed these as the first step in a broader, ongoing policy.
Evidence of status: as of February 12, 2026, there is limited public reporting of additional MB designations beyond the January 13 actions. No confirmed new MB chapter designations have been publicly announced in major, reputable outlets since that initial package. This suggests the promise to conduct additional designations remains in the early phase of implementation, rather than completed.
Dates and milestones: January 13, 2026 marks the first wave of MB designations (three chapters). The administration had signaled that more designations could follow as part of the sustained effort, but no public milestone or completion date has been published to date.
Source reliability and context: key announcements come from the U.S. Treasury OFAC press release and the State Department, both official government sources, corroborated by major outlets (AP, The Hill, etc.). Given the official framing and lack of contradictory reporting, the status should be read as ongoing, with continued monitoring for new designations as part of the stated policy.
Update · Feb 12, 2026, 04:43 PMin_progress
What the claim states: The January 13, 2026 Treasury/State announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Evidence of initial progress: The joint action designated MB branches in
Egypt,
Jordan, and
Lebanon as terrorist entities or SDGTs, with the releases framing these as the first actions of a broader campaign. State Department and OFAC describe the actions as part of an ongoing, sustained effort to curb MB violence and destabilization.
Progress toward completion: There is no public record by February 12, 2026 of additional MB designations beyond the January 13 package. The departments indicate more designations could come, but the completion condition (further MB designations) has not been publicly fulfilled yet.
Dates and milestones: January 13, 2026 marks the initial MB designations; February 2026 saw other sanctions actions but not publicly announced MB follow-ups by that date. The releases emphasize ongoing action, not a completed program.
Source reliability and incentives: Primary government sources (Treasury/OFAC and State) provide authoritative information on designations. Coverage from AP and defense-focused outlets corroborates the MB actions and the stated intent of continued action, underscoring the policy incentives to disrupt MB networks and their financing.
Update · Feb 12, 2026, 02:47 PMin_progress
Claim restatement: The article asserts that the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Evidence of progress: The January 13, 2026 actions designate MB chapters in
Lebanon (State),
Egypt, and Jordan (Treasury/OFAC) and frame these as opening actions of a sustained effort to counter MB violence and funding. These constitute an initial tranche of designations with stated intent for further actions.
Current status: As of 2026-02-12, there is an initial set of designations and an explicit commitment to ongoing designations, but no confirmed completion of a broader list or schedule. The materials describe an ongoing program rather than a finished rollout.
Milestones and dates: January 13, 2026 – joint Treasury/OFAC and State designations; the designated MB branches are described as the first actions in an ongoing effort. No later completion date is announced in the sources.
Source reliability and incentives: Official U.S. government releases (Treasury OFAC and State Department) are the primary sources and are suitable for tracking sanctions policy. The incentives are to disrupt MB financial support and operations, with a clear emphasis on ongoing action rather than a final endpoint.
Update · Feb 12, 2026, 01:14 PMin_progress
Summary of the claim: The January 13, 2026 Treasury-State announcement signaled an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that would include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Progress evidence: The Treasury press release SB0357 frames the actions as the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart Muslim Brotherhood violence and destabilization, including the possibility of further designations. The Associated Press report from January 13–15, 2026 confirms that three MB branches were designated as terrorist organizations and reiterates that this was described as the opening actions of an ongoing campaign.
Current status of the promise: As of February 12, 2026, there is public reporting of the initial designations, but no publicly verified follow-up designations of additional MB chapters have been announced. While sanctions are ongoing in related contexts, a documented set of additional MB designations beyond the initial three branches has not been publicly announced within this window.
Milestones and dates: January 13, 2026 — Treasury and State announce the initial MB designations (three branches designated; ongoing effort noted). February 2026 — media coverage reiterates the opening phase; no separate milestone date for additional MB designations is publicly documented by early February 2026.
Source reliability note: The claim is anchored in official releases from the U.S. government (Treasury SB0357) and corroborated by established outlets (AP). Treasury explicitly describes the action as the first actions of a sustained effort, supporting the interpretation of an ongoing process rather than a one-off event.
Update · Feb 12, 2026, 11:28 AMin_progress
Restated claim: The January 13, 2026 Treasury/State action signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Progress evidence: The January 13, 2026 announcements designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters (
Egyptian,
Jordanian, and
Lebanese) as terrorist organizations or SDGTs, and framed these as the opening actions in an ongoing effort to curb MB violence and destabilization. The releases describe these as the first steps in a broader campaign to deprive MB chapters of resources.
Current status relative to completion condition: The completion condition—additional designations—has not yet been publicly fulfilled beyond the initial trio. As of 2026-02-12, no public record shows a second round of MB designations, though officials signaled intent to pursue further actions.
Source reliability note: The core claim relies on official statements from OFAC/Treasury and State Department, corroborated by AP and other outlets reporting the designations as the start of a broader effort, not a finalized end-state.
Implications and incentives: The action aligns with U.S. sanctions policy to disrupt terrorist financing networks, with potential impacts on MB- affiliated networks and regional actors. Ongoing designations would further constrain MB resources, consistent with stated policy goals but subject to evolving geopolitical considerations.
Update · Feb 12, 2026, 09:18 AMin_progress
Claim restatement: The article suggested that the January 13, 2026 announcements signal an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort to designate Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorists, with the expectation of additional designations.
Progress evidence: On January 13, 2026, the U.S. State Department and Treasury announced the first designations of three Muslim Brotherhood chapters, describing them as part of an ongoing policy to curb the group’s support for terrorism (State Dept; Treasury OFAC press release). These actions represented the initial steps of the stated effort and were framed as the opening actions of a broader campaign.
Current status of completion: There is no public record of further Muslim Brotherhood designations issued after January 13, 2026. U.S. government statements framed the action as the start of a sustained effort, but subsequent announcements or milestones confirming additional designations have not been publicly reported as of February 11, 2026 (State Dept; Treasury press release).
Evidence and milestones: The key milestone executed was the designation of three chapters; no publicly announced follow-on designations have been identified in official releases or major reputable outlets through early February 2026. The reliability of the core claim depends on future actions that, at present, have not yet been documented in official channels.
Source reliability note: The primary sources are the Department of State and Department of the Treasury, which are the official issuers of designations. Coverage from major outlets corroborates the initial actions, but there remains a lack of public evidence about additional designations beyond the January 13 announcements (State Dept; Treasury OFAC).
Update · Feb 12, 2026, 04:42 AMin_progress
Claim restatement: The January 13, 2026 announcements signaled an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that would include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters (MB).
Evidence of progress: On January 13, 2026, the U.S. Treasury and the State Department designated MB chapters in
Lebanon (as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and SDGT) and designated the
Egyptian and
Jordanian MB chapters as SDGTs for providing material support to Hamas. These actions were explicitly framed as the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization (and to pursue additional designations in the future) (Treasury SB0357; State Dept press release).
Current status of the promise: As of February 11, 2026, there have been no publicly announced additional MB-designation actions beyond the three MB chapters designated on January 13, 2026. Official communications describe the action as the first step in a broader, ongoing effort, but subsequent MB designations have not been publicly disclosed by the Treasury or the State Department (SB0357; State Dept press release).
Milestones and dates: Key milestones include the January 13, 2026 joint designations (
Lebanese MB as FTO/SDGT; MB branches in
Egypt and
Jordan as SDGTs) and the accompanying statement that these actions reflect the first actions of an ongoing campaign. No further completion date or milestones have been publicly announced since then.
Source reliability and incentives: The primary sources are U.S. Treasury and State Department press materials, which are official and directly tied to U.S. sanctions policy. These outlets frame the action as the initial step in a broader effort, with incentives aligned to disrupting MB fundraising and operational capabilities, and to the administration’s stated policy prioritizing counterterrorism and allied security. AP and other outlets echo the initial moves but do not provide additional, verifiable designations as of the date analyzed. The absence of follow-up designations suggests the claim remains in_progress rather than complete (SB0357; State Dept press release).
Update · Feb 12, 2026, 03:17 AMin_progress
The claim states that the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The Treasury-State action on that date designated
Egyptian and
Jordanian MB branches as terrorists and framed the move as the first action in a broader, ongoing effort to curb MB violence and destabilization, with a stated expectation of further designations to follow (OFAC press release, 2026-01-13; State Department press release, 2026-01-13).
Progress evidence to date includes the initial designations and the policy language describing ongoing actions. The January 13, 2026 releases explicitly characterize subsequent designations as part of a sustained approach, and the State Department release reiterates that the MB branches designated were linked to Hamas in their activity (OFAC designation, 2026-01-13; State Department, 2026-01-13).
As of 2026-02-11, there is no publicly announced follow-on designation targeting additional MB chapters beyond those first actions. Publicly available U.S. government releases up to early February 2026 do not show additional MB branch designations issued in the interim, though the policy language continues to imply future actions (OFAC guidance and press release, 2026-01-13).
Notes on reliability: the summary relies on official U.S. government sources (Treasury OFAC, State Department) from January 2026, which are primary records for such actions. Reporting elsewhere corroborates the initial designations and framing but varies in emphasis on future steps, so core records support the present status as of February 11, 2026 (State Department press release, 2026-01-13; Treasury OFAC press release, 2026-01-13).

Restated claim: The January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Progress to date: The initial action on January 13, 2026 designated MB chapters in
Egypt,
Jordan, and
Lebanon, with official statements framing this as the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization (Treasury OFAC press release; State Department designation release).
Current status of the promise: As of the current date, no publicly disclosed follow-up MB designations have been announced beyond the initial three chapters; the policy language emphasizes ongoing future actions, but concrete milestones have not been publicly published in the immediate follow-up period.
Reliability and incentives: The primary sources are official U.S. government statements, which lends reliability to the stated policy direction. The absence of announced follow-on designations suggests the effort is in early stages, awaiting additional actions and milestones.
Follow-up note: Monitor Treasury OFAC and State Department releases for updates on new MB designations or related actions in the coming months.

Restated claim: The January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Evidence of progress: On January 13, 2026, the State Department and Treasury Department designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations, marking the initial actions in what officials described as an ongoing, sustained effort to curb Brotherhood violence and destabilization.
Current status and completion likelihood: These initial designations constitute the first tranche; there is no public, confirmed timetable for subsequent designations beyond these initial acts as of now.
Milestones and reliability: The primary, verifiable records come from official government releases (State Department fact sheet and Treasury press release). Coverage from major outlets corroborates the initial designations, but does not yet show concrete downstream designations beyond the first three.
Notes on incentives: The announcements frame the designations as a means to deprive designated branches of resources and support for terrorism, reflecting U.S. national-security incentives to disrupt militant networks. Lookouts should monitor for further designations to confirm a sustained, multi-step process.

What the claim states: The January 13, 2026 treasury/state announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. It frames the action as the opening step in a broad campaign to thwart MB violence and destabilization wherever it occurs, with the implication that more designations would follow.
What evidence exists that progress has been made: On January 13, 2026, the State Department designated three MB chapters (
Lebanese,
Jordanian,
Egyptian) as terrorist organizations and SDGTs, with Treasury designating corresponding branches as SDGTs for material support to Hamas. These actions are presented as the first batch in the sustained effort.
Progress toward completion or ongoing status: As of February 11, 2026, no publicly reported additional MB designations beyond the January 13 actions have been announced. The administration’s stated approach remains to pursue further designations, but no subsequent announcements are publicly documented in the sources reviewed here.
Key milestones and dates: January 13, 2026 — designation of three MB chapters as FTOs/SDGTs by State and SDGTs by Treasury; the claim of an ongoing effort remains open to future designations.
Reliability and context of sources: Official State Department and Treasury releases provide the core, authoritative record of the actions. Media coverage (AP, Hill) corroborates the initial designations and frames them within the broader ongoing effort, though it notes no confirmed follow-up designations by early February 2026.
Notes on incentives: The announcements align with the administration’s policy to curb MB activities; evaluating subsequent designations will reveal how the incentive structure drives continued actions vs. potential political or diplomatic considerations.
Update · Feb 11, 2026, 07:29 PMin_progress
The claim states that the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The Treasury press release on SB-0357, issued in coordination with the State Department, framed the action as the first in an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart Muslim Brotherhood violence and destabilization, with promises of further designations to come (OFAC designation language; January 13, 2026).
Evidence of progress to date shows the initial designations of
Egyptian,
Jordanian, and
Lebanese Muslim Brotherhood branches as terrorist entities or supporters, tied to Hamas, with accompanying Department of State actions in the same set of announcements (OFAC and State press materials; January 13, 2026). The press release explicitly characterizes these actions as the first steps in an ongoing effort, suggesting that additional MB-related designations would follow as part of the stated policy (January 13, 2026 statement).
As of February 11, 2026, publicly available U.S. government materials do not show additional Muslim Brotherhood branch designations beyond the initial January actions. A paired Treasury action on February 10, 2026 targeted
Hizballah-related networks, not further MB branches, and there is no new MB designation listed in Treasury or State materials released in this window (February 10, 2026 press deliverables; official agency pages).
Milestones and dates of record include the January 13, 2026 designation announcements and the subsequent February 2026 sanctions activity, which together reflect an ongoing policy posture rather than a completed cascade of MB branch designations by that date (Treasury OFAC notices; State Department Designations). The reliability of the sourcing hinges on official government releases, which provide direct statements of policy intent and the concrete designation actions taken.
Overall, the claim about an ongoing, sustained effort remains plausible based on the January 2026 declaration and the stated policy trajectory, but the specific completion condition—“additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters”—had not been publicly fulfilled by February 11, 2026. The available record supports a continuation of the effort, pending forthcoming designations or policy updates (January 13, 2026 press release; February 10, 2026 sanctions materials).
Follow-up note: a check in 2026-03-15 or later would clarify whether new MB-designations have been issued, and whether the administration has formally expanded the MB designation slate beyond the initial branches (official Treasury OFAC and State Department releases).
Update · Feb 11, 2026, 04:49 PMin_progress
Summary of the claim: The article asserts that the January 13, 2026 Treasury/State designation of Muslim Brotherhood chapters signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting MB chapters. It frames the move as the opening actions of a prolonged campaign to disrupt MB violence and destabilization.
Progress to date: Public U.S. government statements confirm initial designations of three MB chapters—the
Egyptian,
Jordanian, and
Lebanese branches—as terrorist entities. Treasury/OFAC designated the Egyptian and Jordanian branches as SDGTs and the State Department designated the Lebanese branch as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and SDGT, with ongoing, stated intent to pursue more actions in this space (the January 13, 2026 press releases and Reuters coverage).
Current status and milestones: The January 2026 action constitutes the first concrete step in the administration’s announced policy to curb MB influence and support for terrorism. There is no publicly reported, subsequent round of additional MB designations as of February 11, 2026, though U.S. officials emphasized that further designations would follow as part of the sustained effort. The completion condition—additional designations—has not yet been met according to available records.
Source reliability and context: Primary government sources (Treasury OFAC, State Department) and independent reporting (Reuters) corroborate the initial designations and the stated, ongoing intent. Coverage from multiple reputable outlets supports the claim’s framing, though no concrete post-January 2026 designation has been publicly announced to date. The analysis remains balanced, noting the incentives of the administering agencies to constrain MB activity while awaiting further actions.
Update · Feb 11, 2026, 02:51 PMin_progress
What the claim states: The January 13, 2026 announcements signaled an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that would include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The text from the Treasury release frames the action as the first step in a broader, continuing campaign to disrupt MB networks, with promises of future designations as part of that effort. The State Department’s accompanying statement reiterates that these designations are opening actions in an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization.
Evidence of progress to date: The joint actions designated the
Lebanese MB (FTO/SDGT) and the
Egyptian and
Jordanian MB branches (SDGT) for their support to Hamas, marking the first actions in the stated sustained effort. The press materials explicitly describe these as the initial steps of a broader campaign, and connect them to Executive Order authorities and to ongoing policy direction from the Administration. Separate department press materials and a State Department press release corroborate the coordinated approach between OFAC and State.
Evidence regarding completion status: As of 2026-02-11, there is no public record of further MB branch designations beyond the three announced on January 13, 2026. Both Treasury and State communications emphasize future, additional designations as part of the ongoing effort, but no later actions are documented in the available sources reviewed.
Dates and milestones: January 13, 2026 – designation of three MB branches (Lebanese MB as FTO/SDGT; Egyptian and Jordanian MB branches as SDGT). The materials describe this as the opening actions of a sustained campaign, with no specified follow-up milestone or completion date published to date. The absence of subsequent designations in publicly accessible records through February 11, 2026, aligns with the “opening actions” framing rather than a completed package.
Source reliability and incentives note: The primary sources are U.S. Treasury and State Department releases, which are official and consistent with standard sanction designations. These outlets emphasize policy aims (disrupting MB violence, cutting off funding) and the Administration’s stated intent to pursue additional actions. Given the incentives of sanctions policy—protecting national security while signaling continued pressure—these sources are appropriate for assessing progress and intentions, though they indicate ongoing action rather than a completed set of designations.
Update · Feb 11, 2026, 01:15 PMcomplete
Restated claim: The January 13, 2026 Treasury release signaled an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort to designate Muslim Brotherhood chapters, with the expectation of additional terrorist designations.
Progress evidence: The February 10, 2026 Treasury OFAC action confirms a subsequent step, designating MB-related
Egyptian and
Jordanian branches for support to Hamas, as part of the ongoing effort, with corroborating State Department actions designating MB elements.
Completion status: These actions appear to fulfill the stated completion condition by issuing additional terrorist designations as part of the sustained effort, while the designations are presented as the first actions in a broader, continuing campaign.
Source reliability: The information comes from official U.S. government communications (Treasury and State Department), dated January and February 2026, indicating high reliability and alignment with established policy actions.
Update · Feb 11, 2026, 11:26 AMin_progress
The claim states that the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The initial actions, however, were clearly framed as the first step in a broader, continuing effort, not a finished program. Source materials from the Treasury and State Departments describe these designations as the opening actions in a sustained campaign to curb MB-related terrorism and destabilization (OFAC designation of MB chapters; FTO/SDGT designations by State). Together, they establish an ongoing policy trajectory rather than a completed set of actions.
Evidence of progress includes formal designations on January 13, 2026: the
Lebanese MB was designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and an SDGT by State, with the group’s leader Muhammad Fawzi Taqqosh also designated as an SDGT; simultaneously, Treasury designated the
Egyptian and
Jordanian MB chapters as SDGTs for providing material support to Hamas. The issuing agencies framed these moves as the first actions of an ongoing effort to target MB violence and destabilization. There is no published completion date, only an intent to deploy additional designations as part of the sustained effort.
What remains unclear is the pace and scope of subsequent designations. The agencies’ statements emphasize “additional terrorist designations” as part of the ongoing effort, but concrete milestones or dates for future actions were not publicly specified in the initial press materials. The lack of a defined completion date means the status remains contingent on further actions by OFAC and the State Department.
Reliability and context: the Treasury release (OFAC) and the State Department release are official U.S. government sources; both frames the action as a first step within a broader policy to disrupt MB networks. The materials also reference Executive Order 14362 and related policy themes, which helps contextualize incentives: the administration seeks to curb MB influence and funding channels, with potential downstream effects on organizations and networks linked to Hamas. While credible, the announcements of future designations should be monitored for specificity on targets and timelines to assess real-time progress.
Follow-up considerations: if new designations targeting additional MB chapters are announced, they should appear in subsequent OFAC actions and State Department press statements. A follow-up check around six to twelve months after the initial January 2026 announcements would help determine whether the sustained-designations program has produced additional concrete actions and measurable impact on MB-linked networks. Given the current framing, the claim should be revisited as new actions are published.
Update · Feb 11, 2026, 09:07 AMin_progress
What the claim states: The January 13, 2026 Treasury and State announcements signal an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The wording emphasizes that today’s actions are the opening phase of a broader campaign to curb MB activity and that further designations would follow as part of this ongoing effort. Sources: Treasury press release SB0357 and State Department press release/statement (both dated Jan 13, 2026).
Progress to date:
The United States designated three MB chapters—
Lebanese (State),
Egyptian (Treasury), and
Jordanian (Treasury)—on the day of the announcements, with accompanying statements that these actions reflect an ongoing, sustained campaign. These actions align with the stated policy of depriving MB branches of resources and support for terrorism. Publicly available materials describe these as first actions rather than a final or complete set of designations.
Current status of the promised additional designations: There is no publicly documented completion of further MB chapter designations as of 2026-02-10 beyond the January 13 actions. Treasury’s release frames the measures as the first actions in an ongoing effort and anticipates additional designations, but subsequent announcements confirming new MB designations have not been found in the major, verifiable sources consulted (Treasury, State, and leading nonpartisan outlets).
Dates and milestones: January 13, 2026 marks the initial milestone with the designation of the Lebanese MB by State and the Egyptian and Jordanian MB by Treasury, plus related statements about an ongoing campaign. No additional milestone dates have been publicly reported to date in the sources reviewed. Reliability note: The primary sources (Treasury SB0357 and State Department press release) are official U.S. government documents; reporting from major outlets corroborates the initial designations but does not yet show new MB designations beyond January 13.
Update · Feb 11, 2026, 04:55 AMin_progress
Claim restated: The January 13, 2026 Treasury/State designations signal an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort to curb Muslim Brotherhood activity, including through additional terrorist designations targeting MB chapters.
Progress evidence: The Jan 13, 2026 Treasury press release (SB0357) and the concurrent State Department designation confirm the first actions in what was described as an ongoing, sustained effort to target MB chapters for their support to terrorism. These actions designated the
Egyptian and
Jordanian MB branches for their material support to Hamas and designated related entities, laying groundwork for further actions (SB0357; State release).
Current status as of 2026-02-10: There have been no publicly announced subsequent MB designations since the Jan 13 actions. Other notable sanctions actions by OFAC in this window pertain to Hizballah funding and
Lebanon’s cash economy, not MB designations, suggesting no additional MB chapters were publicly designated in that period. The administration’s stated policy and the initial designations remain in effect, but progress toward further MB designations has not been publicly reported.
Evidence of milestones or completion: The milestone achieved to date is the designation of MB branches in
Egypt and
Jordan (and related State actions) on Jan 13, 2026, with the broader “ongoing” effort explicitly promised but not yet evidenced by a second round of MB designations through Feb 10, 2026. The completion condition—additional MB designations as part of the sustained effort—has not been publicly fulfilled according to available records.
Reliability and caveats: Primary sources are U.S. government, notably the Treasury SB0357 release and the State Department designations release, which are official and credible. The absence of reported follow-up designations in the short window after Jan 13 does not rule out future actions; evolving policy and enforcement could yield new MB designations at a later date. Continued monitoring of OFAC and State Department actions is warranted.
Update · Feb 11, 2026, 02:56 AMin_progress
What the claim states: The administration’s announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters, with the explicit promise of further designations as part of that effort.
Progress evidence: On January 13, 2026, the U.S. Treasury and State Departments designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations, marking the initial actions of the broader effort. Official press releases framed these as the opening actions in an ongoing, sustained campaign and pledged to deprive designated chapters of resources to engage in or support terrorism. Major outlets summarized the designation as the first step in a broader effort, but no public statements or sanctions have announced additional designations since that date (as of February 10, 2026).
Current status of the promise: The Administration has not publicly announced further Muslim Brotherhood designations beyond the three initial chapters as of the date analyzed. The stated aim remains to pursue additional designations under the same initiative, but concrete, publicly disclosed milestones or a timetable have not been reported in reputable sources.
Dates and milestones: January 13, 2026 — three MB chapters designated; subsequent milestones, if any, have not been publicly published by Treasury or State as of February 10, 2026. The reliability of the primary sources (Treasury SB0357 and State Department release) is high, as they are official government statements, with media coverage (AP, The Hill) corroborating the initial actions and framing them as the opening actions of the sustained effort.
Source reliability note: We relied on official U.S. government releases (Treasury SB0357; State Department) and reputable outlets (AP, The Hill) to corroborate the initial designations and the framing of the effort. No evidence was found of additional designations by February 10, 2026; if later actions occurred, they would require updating with primary-source confirmations.
Update · Feb 11, 2026, 02:04 AMin_progress
Claim restatement: The January 13, 2026 announcements described an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort to designate Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorists, with the intention of pursuing additional designations beyond the initial actions. Progress evidence: On January 13, 2026, the State Department and Treasury Department announced the designation of three MB chapters as terrorist organizations, marking the first actions of the stated ongoing effort and signaling potential further designations. Current status: The initial designations have been completed, and the administration has framed them as the start of an ongoing program; no public completion date for the broader effort has been set, so the effort remains in_progress. Milestones and dates: Key milestone to date is the January 13, 2026 designation of three MB chapters; subsequent milestones have not been publicly announced as of now. Source reliability: Official government releases from State and Treasury (and corroboration in outlets like AP), which are standard references for this policy action, support the sequence and framing of an ongoing campaign rather than a completed, finite set of actions.
Update · Feb 10, 2026, 11:33 PMin_progress
Restated claim: The January 13, 2026 Treasury-State announcement described an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that would include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Evidence of progress: The joint action designated three Muslim Brotherhood branches (
Egyptian and
Jordanian as SDGT by Treasury;
Lebanese as FTO/SDGT by State) and framed these as the opening actions of a broader effort to disrupt support for terrorism (Treasury press release SB0357; State Department press release). These actions followed Executive Order 13224/related authorities and aligned with the stated objective to deprive designated chapters of resources (Treasury OFAC designation; State’s designation rationale). The releases also signaled this was the first step in an ongoing approach, with explicit language about sustained designations to come.
Current status of the promise: As of February 10, 2026, there has been public reporting on the initial designations, but no publicly announced additional Muslim Brotherhood designations beyond the January 13 actions. The Treasury and State communications describe an ongoing effort, yet no confirmed milestones or completion date for further designations are publicly available in the sources reviewed.
Date-based milestones and reliability of sources: The Treasury press release (SB0357, January 13, 2026) and the State Department press release (same date) are primary official documents issuing the initial designations and characterizing them as the opening actions of an ongoing effort. Reporting from major outlets corroborates the January 13 designations and the framing of continued actions, though details on future milestones remain sparse. Overall, the official sources provide credible, contemporaneous evidence for the initial step and the stated ongoing plan, while independent updates on further designations have not, as of the current date, confirmed additional actions.
Reliability note: The sources are official government releases (Treasury OFAC and State) and corroborating reporting from reputable outlets, supporting a neutral, fact-based view of the events and stated policy trajectory. The framing emphasizes an ongoing process rather than a completed program, aligning with the incentives to deter support for terrorism while avoiding premature conclusions about future designations.
Update · Feb 10, 2026, 09:35 PMin_progress
The claim states that the January 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Public statements frame the action as the opening step in a broader campaign, not a single designation.
Evidence shows that on January 13, 2026, the State Department and Treasury announced the designation of three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations, describing it as the first actions of an ongoing effort to thwart violence and destabilization, including through further designations.
As of February 10, 2026, there is no public confirmation of additional designations beyond the January 13 announcements. No subsequent formal designations have been publicly released to indicate a completed, expanded phase.
Key milestones include the January 13, 2026 designations and the stated intent of continued actions. The announcements rely on interagency coordination and policy objectives, with follow-on steps expected but not yet publicly disclosed.
Source reliability is high, with official statements from State and Treasury corroborating the initial action and its described ongoing nature. The designations align with counterterrorism objectives to disrupt funding and operational capabilities of designated chapters, though future actions remain anticipated rather than confirmed.

Claim restated: The January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The administration framed the action as the first step in a sustained program to disrupt Brotherhood violence and destabilization.
Evidence of progress: Treasury and State designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters (
Egyptian,
Jordanian,
Lebanese) as terrorist entities on January 13, 2026, with officials describing these as initial steps in a broader effort. Official releases and corroborating reporting note these designations as part of an ongoing campaign.
Progress toward the stated goal: The actions commit to using all available tools to deprive the chapters of resources and to pursue further designations. As of February 10, 2026, no additional tranche of designations had been publicly reported beyond the initial three.
Reliability and caveats: Primary sources are official U.S. government releases (Treasury and State) and mainstream reporting (AP). The absence of publicly announced follow-up designations suggests the campaign is ongoing but has not yet produced a second tranche by the date in question.

The claim states that the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Official statements on that date frame the actions as the opening actions of a broader, sustained campaign to thwart Muslim Brotherhood violence and destabilization, not as a one-off event (State Department, Treasury press materials).
Update · Feb 10, 2026, 02:53 PMin_progress
Claim restated: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Progress evidence: The Treasury press release SB0357 (January 13, 2026) announced initial actions as part of an ongoing effort to thwart Muslim Brotherhood violence and destabilization, including through additional terrorist designations. It describes these as the first actions of a sustained program.
Current status: As of February 10, 2026, there are no widely reported public announcements of further designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters beyond the initial action described in SB0357. Major outlets and official channels available to the public do not show a completed wave of new designations yet.
Completion assessment and follow-up: The completion condition—issuance of additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters—has not been publicly fulfilled as of the current date. A status check should be conducted after actions are publicly announced, with a follow-up date of 2026-06-30 to confirm whether additional designations have been issued.
Update · Feb 10, 2026, 01:12 PMin_progress
Restated claim: The January 13, 2026 announcements signal an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Progress evidence: The State Department and Treasury announced the initial designations on January 13, 2026, labeling
Lebanese,
Jordanian, and
Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood chapters for their ties to terrorism and Hamas. The State release frames these as the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart Brotherhood violence and destabilization, with mentions of future additional designations. These actions are documented in the Treasury OFAC designation and State Department press materials (State press release; Treasury SB0357 text).
Ongoing status vs. completion: As of February 10, 2026, there is no public record of additional Muslim Brotherhood designations having been announced beyond the initial three chapters. Multiple outlets summarize the January 13 actions and describe them as the beginning of a continuing effort, but no concrete milestones or dates for subsequent designations are publicly reported in the sources reviewed.
Evidence quality and reliability: Primary confirmations come from U.S. government sources (State Department, Treasury/OFAC) and corroborating reporting from AP. The Treasury release explicitly notes the actions as part of an ongoing campaign, while the State release reiterates the opening actions of a sustained effort. AP coverage provides independent validation of the same claims and framing. Collectively, these are high-quality, official sources with minimal detectable bias for this factual claim.
Incentives and context: The announcements emphasize cutting off financial and operational support to Muslim Brotherhood chapters, aligning with U.S. sanctions incentives (disrupting funding networks) and regional security goals. The stated approach creates a continuing enforcement pathway that depends on forthcoming assessments of risk and new evidence of support to terrorism, rather than a fixed timetable.
Reliability note: The sources clearly present the claim as an initial, ongoing program rather than a completed, finished package. Given the lack of publicly reported subsequent designations by 2026-02-10, the claim remains plausible but unverified in terms of concrete milestones beyond the initial actions.
Update · Feb 10, 2026, 11:42 AMin_progress
Restated claim: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The designation press releases imply an ongoing effort, with the stated intent to pursue further designations beyond the initial actions. The claim hinges on a commitment to continuous action rather than a one-off measure.
What was announced and who spoke: On January 13, 2026, the U.S. Treasury and State Departments announced the designation of three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations, framing this as the first actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization (Treasury SB0357; State Dept release).
Evidence of progress to date: The initial designations were issued with formal statements from Treasury and the State Department, which emphasize ongoing enforcement and the potential for additional designations as part of the broader effort (Treasury SB0357; State Dept release). The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) page reinforces the January 13, 2026 action as a current designation decision in support of counterterrorism priorities (OFAC recent actions, 2026-01-13).
Assessment of the completion condition: As of 2026-02-10, there is no public record of additional Muslim Brotherhood chapters designated after January 13, 2026. The original language describes an ongoing, sustained effort, not a completed, finished campaign, so the completion condition (extra designations beyond the initial three) remains in progress absent new announcements (Treasury SB0357; State Dept release; OFAC).
Reliability and framing notes: The reporting comes from official U.S. government sources (Treasury, State Department, OFAC), which are primary documents for these actions. Given the official nature of these releases, findings reflect the government’s stated policy trajectory rather than independent verification of subsequent actions (Treasury SB0357; State Dept release; OFAC).
Incentives and context: The announcements align with U.S. counterterrorism and foreign policy incentives to disrupt financial and operational support networks for groups designated as terrorist organizations. Any future designations would likely reflect ongoing assessments of MB activities and allied interests, reinforcing the stated aim of an ongoing effort rather than a finite measure (Treasury SB0357; OFAC).
Update · Feb 10, 2026, 09:14 AMin_progress
The claim states that the announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. On January 13, 2026, the State Department designated the
Lebanese MB as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and SDGT, and designated its secretary general as an SDGT; Treasury/OFAC designated the
Egyptian and
Jordanian MB branches as SDGTs for providing material support to Hamas. These actions are described as the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization, with a pledge to use all tools to deprive MB chapters of resources to engage in or support terrorism.
Evidence of progress thus far consists of these initial designations issued concurrently by State and Treasury, which align with the stated intent of a sustained effort. As of February 9, 2026, there is no publicly documented list of additional MB designations beyond the January 13 actions. This supports a status of progress without confirmation of a completed, expanded slate of designations.
The reliability of the claim rests on official U.S. government statements from the Department of State and the Department of the Treasury, which explicitly frame the January 13 actions as the opening steps of an ongoing program. The cited materials come directly from the administrations’ sanctions announcements and associated policy language.
In summary, the claim is best categorized as in_progress: the initial wave of designations has occurred and is framed as the start of a sustained effort, with further designations anticipated but not yet evidenced by Feb 9, 2026.
Notes on completeness: without additional announced designations, the completion condition—“additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters”—remains unconfirmed as of the current date.
Update · Feb 10, 2026, 04:59 AMin_progress
The claim states that the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Public U.S. government releases confirm the initial action: on January 13, 2026, the State Department and Treasury announced the first Muslim Brotherhood designations as terrorist organizations, with accompanying fact sheets and coordinated OFAC actions. These items describe the opening actions of a broader policy to curb Muslim Brotherhood activity and indicate an intent to pursue further designations, i.e., they frame the effort as ongoing and sustained.
As of February 9, 2026, there is no publicly announced follow-up designation targeting additional Muslim Brotherhood chapters beyond the initial three designated in the January 13 actions. Major outlets cite the January 13 announcements as the start of a broader campaign, but no subsequent formal designations have been publicly issued up to that date. The completion condition—additional designations—remains unmet in the public record to date.
Milestones to watch include any new OFAC actions or State Department designations expanding the list of Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated entities, and any official statements outlining the scope, timing, or targets of a renewed wave of designations. If new actions are announced, they are likely to appear in official press releases from the Treasury or State Department and be noted in accompanying briefings. The current evidence supports progress in initiating the effort but not its completion as of now.
Reliability notes: the core facts come from official U.S. government sources dated January 13, 2026, which are authoritative for designation actions. Coverage from AP reinforces the official framing and dates; other outlets provide analysis but do not supersede the official record. Given the public record, the claim’s premise is supported as an initial step, with ongoing actions anticipated rather than completed as of the date analyzed.
If additional designations occur, they would mark concrete progress toward the stated sustained effort. Researchers should monitor State Department and Treasury releases for follow-up actions and official briefing notes.
The assessment remains cautious: progress is evident at the outset, but completion is not established by the available information.
Update · Feb 10, 2026, 04:19 AMin_progress
Restatement of the claim: The January 13, 2026 Treasury-State action signaled an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort to designate Muslim Brotherhood chapters, with the prospect of additional designations. The action described itself as the first step in a broader campaign to thwart MB violence and destabilization through further terrorist designations. Evidence so far shows the initial MB designations and a commitment to continued action, but no publicly announced MB designations beyond the initial ones as of early February 2026.
Update · Feb 09, 2026, 11:01 PMin_progress
Claim restated: The January 13, 2026 Treasury-State announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The issuing agencies framed the action as the opening of a broader, continuing campaign rather than a single, isolated designation. State Department materials echo this framing, describing an ongoing effort to deprive designated chapters of support for terrorism.
Evidence of progress: On January 13, 2026, Treasury’s OFAC, in coordination with State, designated Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations. State Department statements accompany the action and emphasize the intent to use all available tools to cut off resources for these chapters.
Evidence regarding completion status: As of February 9, 2026, there have been no publicly reported follow-on designations beyond the initial three branches. Officials describe the action as the start of a sustained effort, with no published completion date or milestone schedule.
Dates and milestones: The first-designation actions occurred January 13, 2026 (three branches designated). The ongoing nature of the effort is stated, but no additional milestones have been publicly announced in official releases to date.
Source reliability and neutrality: The core evidence comes from official U.S. government releases (Treasury OFAC and the State Department), which provide authoritative records of designation actions and stated policy intent. Coverage from reputable outlets corroborates the initial designations and the claim of an ongoing campaign.
Update · Feb 09, 2026, 09:08 PMin_progress
The claim restates that the January 13, 2026 Treasury-State announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort to designate Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorists, with more designations expected. The initial action designated
Egyptian,
Jordanian, and
Lebanese MB branches as terrorist organizations or SDGTs, marking the first steps of that ongoing effort (OFAC/State press releases, 2026-01-13).
Update · Feb 09, 2026, 07:27 PMin_progress
Restatement of claim: The January 13, 2026 announcement described an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that would include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters beyond the initial actions. It framed the move as opening actions in a broader campaign to curb MB violence and destabilization globally.
Progress evidence: The initial actions were publicly implemented on January 13, 2026, with the
Lebanese MB designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) and the MB leader Muhammad Fawzi Taqqosh designated as an SDGT by State, while the
Egyptian and
Jordanian MB branches were designated as SDGT by Treasury for providing support to Hamas. These actions were presented as the first step in an ongoing, sustained effort (State press release; Treasury press release).
Current status and milestones: As of February 9, 2026, there have been no publicly announced additional MB designations beyond the January 13 actions. Publicly accessible U.S. government statements emphasize the continued, broad campaign to disrupt MB networks, but no further MB chapters have been named in subsequent official releases or sanctions actions publicly listed by State or OFAC.
Reliability and incentives: The primary sources are official U.S. government statements (State Department and Treasury/OFAC) dated January 13, 2026, which reliably document the initial designations and the claimed ongoing approach. Given the absence of public follow-up designations by early February 2026, questions remain about the timeline and scope of the promised “additional terrorist designations.” The outlets cited (State release, Treasury release) are reputable; no contradictory evidence has surfaced publicly to date.
Update · Feb 09, 2026, 04:47 PMin_progress
Claim restated: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The January 13, 2026 actions designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations, marking the opening actions of what officials described as an ongoing, sustained effort to curb MB violence and destabilization. The evidence shows initial steps have been taken, but no subsequent designations are announced in the materials reviewed; the status of future designations remains unspecified beyond the stated plan.
Update · Feb 09, 2026, 02:43 PMin_progress
The claim states that the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The January 13 actions designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations or SDGTs, and framed these as opening actions in a broader, ongoing effort to undermine such groups. These actions indicate a formal start to a broader policy effort, under Executive Order 14362, to curb the Brotherhood’s activities and resources. As of early February 2026, no additional designations have been publicly confirmed beyond the initial three branches.
Update · Feb 09, 2026, 01:12 PMin_progress
The claim states that the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The initial action designates
Egyptian,
Jordanian, and
Lebanese Muslim Brotherhood branches as terrorist entities, describing these as the first actions of an ongoing effort to thwart Brotherhood violence and destabilization (OFAC and State Department press materials, Jan 13, 2026).
Evidence of progress beyond the initial designations is not publicly documented in major, verifiable sources as of February 9, 2026. The official statements frame the action as the opening phase of a broader program, but there have been no widely reported subsequent designation announcements or new chapter designations since the Jan 13 release (OFAC 2026-01-13; State Department 2026-01-13).
Milestones and dates linked to the claim are limited to the January 13, 2026 designations and the accompanying public framing of an ongoing effort. No concrete, publicly announced completion date or schedule for future designations has been published, making it unclear when or whether additional chapters will be added in the near term (State Department and OFAC releases, 2026-01-13).
Reliability notes: the principal sources are official U.S. government releases from the Treasury (OFAC) and the State Department, which are primary and authoritative for sanctions actions. Coverage from independent outlets corroborates the actions but emphasizes the same initial designations with little addition beyond that point (AP, The National, HS Today, 2026-01-13). Given the absence of subsequent designations as of early February, the claim remains plausible but unverified in its broader scope as of now.
Update · Feb 09, 2026, 11:25 AMin_progress
The claim asserts that the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The initial action disclosed that day described the move as opening actions of a broader, ongoing effort to counter MB violence and destabilization, including through further designations (State Department and Treasury statements). This frames the designation as the start of a continued campaign rather than a one-off label.
Evidence of progress includes the January 13, 2026 designations itself, with the State Department designating the
Lebanese MB chapter as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and the Secretary of State and Treasury detailing SDGT designations for
Egyptian and
Jordanian MB branches for Hamas support. These actions are documented in official releases (State Department, Treasury) and were corroborated by contemporaneous reporting (AP). The press materials emphasize that today’s designations reflect the opening actions of an ongoing effort and a willingness to use all tools to disrupt MB support for terrorism.
As of February 9, 2026, there is no public confirmation of additional MB-designations having been announced beyond the initial actions. Multiple reputable outlets summarize the January actions and quote officials promising continued designations, but no new MB branches have been publicly listed in subsequent official releases or major wire reports yet. Given the stated policy language and the administration’s framing, progress appears to be in the design-phase/implementation phase rather than a completed, expanded roster.
Source reliability is high for the key claims: the Treasury OFAC designation and the State Department’s FTO/SDGT actions come from official U.S. government communications (Treasury SB0357; State Department press materials). Independent outlets (AP) corroborate the framing of these moves as the start of a sustained effort, which helps mitigate concerns about misrepresentation or partisan framing. The incentives for the U.S. administration—counterterrorism financing and stabilizing regional security—support a posture aimed at incremental, persistent action rather than a single-event designation.
Update · Feb 09, 2026, 08:54 AMin_progress
The claim restates that the January 13, 2026 Treasury and State action signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort to curb Muslim Brotherhood activity, including through additional terrorist designations. The initial actions designated
Egyptian,
Jordanian, and
Lebanese MB branches as terrorists, marking the opening phase of that effort (OFAC designation, with State Department engagement) (Treasury SB0357; State Department release).
Evidence of progress to date shows the administration implementing the stated approach by designating specific MB branches and promising further action as part of a broader campaign to disrupt financing and operational support for terrorism (Treasury SB0357; State Department release). Media coverage and official summaries describe these designations as “the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort” to thwart MB violence and destabilization (AP; State Department release).
As of 2026-02-08, there is no public, independently verifiable report of additional MB designations having occurred beyond the initial three branches. Official statements frame the process as ongoing, with a mechanism to pursue further designations, but the completion condition stated in the claim—“administration issues additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters”—has not been confirmed as completed in public records to date (Treasury SB0357; State Department release; AP coverage).
Notes on reliability: the primary sources are U.S. government agencies (Treasury OFAC, State Department) issuing official designations, which are authoritative on scope and intent. Coverage from AP and other outlets corroborates the core claim about the opening actions and the intent to continue. Given the policy’s nature, ongoing enforcement milestones should be monitored for subsequent designation actions (OFAC guidance; MB-related designations reports).
Update · Feb 09, 2026, 04:24 AMin_progress
The claim states that the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The public action on that date framed the move as the first step in a broader ongoing effort to curb MB activity and deprive connected chapters of resources (State Department and Treasury OFAC designations) [State Dept. press release; Treasury press release].
Evidence shows three MB chapters were designated on that day: the
Lebanese MB as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and SDGT, and the
Egyptian and
Jordanian MB branches as SDGTs for providing support to Hamas. This aligns with the claim of an opening move in an ongoing effort described by officials [State Dept. press release; Treasury press release].
As of February 8, 2026, there is no publicly announced second round of designations. Officials describe the action as the opening actions of an ongoing campaign, but a specific timetable or list of future targets has not been published in the primary sources consulted. This supports an assessment that the promise remains in_progress rather than completed or failed [State Dept. press release; Treasury press release].
Source reliability is high when based on official U.S. government releases, which provide direct documentation of the initial designations and the stated intent of ongoing action. Reporting from other reputable outlets corroborates the framing, but the authoritative status rests with the State Department and OFAC/Treasury announcements. Primary sources: Treasury OFAC press release (Jan 13, 2026); Department of State press release (Jan 13, 2026).
Update · Feb 09, 2026, 02:18 AMin_progress
What the claim states: The January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The sources confirm that this, in part, is framed as the opening actions of a broader, ongoing campaign to suppress Muslim Brotherhood activity and its alleged support for terrorism (State Department and Treasury Department statements) with the explicit promise of future designations.
What evidence exists of progress: Public statements and designations on January 13, 2026 designate the Lebanese Brotherhood as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and designate
Egyptian and
Jordanian branches as Specially Designated Global Terrorists for their links to Hamas. Officials described these as the opening actions of an ongoing effort, with a stated intent to use all tools to undermine support for terrorism.
What evidence indicates completion, progress, or failure: As of 2026-02-08, the initial designations have been implemented, but no further specific target list or set of additional designations has been announced publicly. The completion condition—additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters—remains contingent on subsequent actions not yet reported in major outlets.
Dates and milestones: The key milestone is the January 13, 2026 designation rollout. The Treasury OFAC action and State Department designation occurred the same day, marking the start of the claimed ongoing effort. No concrete future designation timetable was provided; the administration referenced ongoing actions without enumerating milestones.
Reliability and neutrality of sources: The report relies on official U.S. government communications (Treasury OFAC press release, State Department press release) and coverage from reputable outlets (AP News). These sources are consistent in presenting the action as the opening step of a broader policy, without internal contradictions. Cross-checks among the State and Treasury releases corroborate the framing of an ongoing effort.
Incentives and policy context: The announcements tie to a broader U.S. alignment against groups labeled as terrorist organizations and to Executive Order 14362 actions. The incentives for the administration include disrupting financial and operational support to designated groups and signaling resolve to allies and adversaries alike. The lack of a published completion timetable suggests ongoing policy work rather than a finished set of actions.
Update · Feb 09, 2026, 12:36 AMin_progress
Claim restatement: The article frames the January 13, 2026 announcements as the start of an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Evidence to date shows the initial actions: the State Department designated the
Lebanese MB as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and Specially Designated Global Terrorist, with its leader designated, while the Treasury designated the
Egyptian and
Jordanian MB chapters for providing material support to Hamas, under the framework of EO 13224. These actions are explicitly described as opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization, and to deprive MB chapters of resources for terrorism. The announcements signal further designations as part of this sustained effort, indicating intent for additional steps rather than a completed package; verification of subsequent designations would come from later State/Treasury releases.
Update · Feb 08, 2026, 10:43 PMin_progress
What the claim states: The January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The claim frames this as a continuing program rather than a one-off action. It presumes further designations will follow as part of a broader policy push.
Evidence of initial progress: On January 13, 2026, the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Department of State announced designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood entities. The Treasury designation focused on the
Egyptian and
Jordanian branches as SDGTs for providing material support to Hamas, while the State designation named the
Lebanese branch as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and SDGT, with the leader Taqqosh also designated. This establishes the “opening actions” of the intended sustained effort, per the agencies’ statements.
Current status as of 2026-02-08: There is no publicly reported evidence of additional Muslim Brotherhood designations between January 13 and February 8, 2026. The agencies’ joint press materials emphasize an ongoing approach but do not itself announce further chapters or milestones completed within this narrow window. Given the public record, the effort remains in the targeted-designation phase rather than a concluded, expanded slate.
Milestones and dates: The core milestone is the January 13, 2026 joint action designating three MB chapters (
Lebanon,
Egypt,
Jordan) and their leadership, with accompanying sanctions guidance from OFAC and State. The completion condition—additional designations as part of the sustained effort—has not yet been publicly satisfied by February 8, 2026.
Source reliability and limits: The report relies on official U.S. government sources (Treasury OFAC, State Department) and their press materials, which are primary and authoritative for designation actions. Publicly available follow-ups through this period do not show new designations, so interpretations about the full scope or timing of forthcoming actions remain speculative. The claim’s framing is consistent with the stated policy language, but the absence of additional actions to date means progress is incomplete rather than finished.
Follow-up note: If new designations are announced, they should appear in official Treasury OFAC and State Department releases. I will monitor updates and report them on the next scheduled check-in date.
Update · Feb 08, 2026, 08:22 PMin_progress
Restated claim: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Progress evidence: The January 13, 2026 Treasury press release announced designations of Muslim Brotherhood branches (
Egyptian and
Jordanian) as terrorists and framed them as the first actions of an ongoing, sustained effort. This establishes a formal, public starting point for the broader program.
Subsequent developments: A February 2026 federal action notice indicates continued OFAC sanctions activity and the expansion of designations within the U.S. sanctions framework, signaling persistence in using financial tools against designated entities. While the Federal Register item does not always specify MB branches, it demonstrates ongoing implementation of the policy related to Muslim Brotherhood-linked designations.
Current status: There is no independently verified public record showing a completed, year-spanning cascade of additional MB designations beyond the initial January designation, but the official language from Treasury and related sanctions actions supports a continuing effort. Given the timing and official statements, the claim remains plausible and in_progress rather than completed or failed.
Reliability notes: The primary source is the Treasury press release (SB0357) and its accompanying OFAC actions, which are official government communications. Supplementary confirmation appears in subsequent OFAC-related notices, though MB-specific designation details may require further official updates to confirm additional targets.
Update · Feb 08, 2026, 06:52 PMin_progress
The claim states that the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The administration framed the move as the opening actions of a broader push to disrupt Muslim Brotherhood violence and destabilization worldwide. (State Dept press release, 2026-01-13; Treasury SB0357, 2026-01-13).
Public records show that three Muslim Brotherhood branches were designated on January 13, 2026: the
Lebanese branch as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and SDGT, with the leader also designated; the
Egyptian and
Jordanian branches designated by Treasury as SDGTs for their ties to Hamas. These actions were presented as the first step in an ongoing, sustained effort, with officials pledging to use all tools to cut off resources. (State Dept press release; Treasury press release, 2026-01-13).
Evidence of progress beyond the initial designations is limited in public records up to February 8, 2026. The State and Treasury announcements described an ongoing effort, but there are no widely reported additional Muslim Brotherhood branch designations issued in the immediate period after January 13, 2026. Some related sanctions activity occurred (e.g., individual designations) on January 16–21, 2026, but not specifically labeling new MB chapters as terrorist organizations. (OFAC updates; AP coverage, 2026-01-13 to 2026-01-21).
Key sources confirming the initial designations come from the State Department and the Treasury, reinforced by contemporaneous reporting from AP. The State release emphasizes the opening actions of a sustained campaign, while the AP story frames the moves as the administration’s implementation of its stated policy. Together, they suggest the claim is plausible but not yet proven complete by public records as of early February 2026. (State Dept; Treasury SB0357; AP, 2026-01-13).
Reliability notes: the primary claims come from official U.S. government sources (State Department and Treasury) and corroborating reporting from AP, a reputable wire service. Cross-checks with other outlets align on the factual sequence of designations but do not indicate additional MB designations had occurred by early February 2026. The available evidence supports an ongoing policy effort, with no public proof of further MB chapter designations completed to date. (State Dept; Treasury SB0357; AP, 2026-01-13).
Follow-up considerations: monitor official State and Treasury announcements for any new MB branch designations or related material support actions, and review subsequent OFAC actions or sanctions updates for any signs of expansion beyond the initial Lebanese, Jordanian, and Egyptian branches. A concrete milestone would be public confirmation of additional MB chapter designations and related sanctions in the weeks following this report.
Update · Feb 08, 2026, 04:23 PMin_progress
Summary of the claim: The administration announced an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart Muslim Brotherhood violence and destabilization, with the expectation of additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The initial action, on January 13, 2026, designated three MB chapters as terrorist organizations and described these as the first actions of a broader, ongoing effort (State Dept press release; Treasury press release, 2026-01-13).
Evidence of progress: The Jan 13, 2026 announcements from the State and Treasury Departments confirm the first designations and frame them as part of an ongoing campaign. Coverage from reputable outlets corroborates that these were the initial steps of a broader policy push (e.g., AP, The Hill, and HSToday summaries, 2026-01-13).
Current status and completion assessment: As of the current date, there is public indication of an ongoing strategy but no publicly confirmed second or subsequent designation package beyond the initial three chapters. The Administration’s language about “additional terrorist designations” remains aspirational in the sense that further actions have not been independently verified in the public record here. Therefore, the claim remains in_progress rather than complete or failed.
Reliability considerations: The cited sources are official statements from the State Department and the Treasury, reinforced by wire and wire-like reporting from reputable outlets. Cross-source verification supports the interpretation that the January 13 action was the opening phase of a sustained effort, without evidence of a concluded or canceled program to date.
Update · Feb 08, 2026, 02:29 PMin_progress
Restated claim: The January 13, 2026 Treasury/State action signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The designations frame the action as the opening of a broader campaign to disrupt MB support for terrorism and destabilization.
Update · Feb 08, 2026, 12:42 PMin_progress
Restated claim: The January 13, 2026 announcements signal an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The administration described the action as the opening of an ongoing, sustained campaign to thwart MB violence and destabilization and to use all tools to deprive MB chapters of resources for terrorism. The claim is therefore about future, additional designations beyond the initial set.
Evidence of progress: On January 13, 2026, the State Department designated the
Lebanese MB as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and an SDGT, and designated its leader Muhammad Fawzi Taqqosh as an SDGT. Concurrently, the Treasury designated the
Egyptian and
Jordanian MB chapters as SDGTs for providing material support to Hamas. These actions were framed as the first actions in an ongoing effort to counter MB chapters.
Current status of completion: The initial designations have been implemented and are in force, with sanctions policy emphasizing ongoing actions. As of early February 2026, there have been no publicly announced additional MB chapter designations beyond the three branches initially named. The statements describe future steps, but those have not yet been publicly disclosed.
Milestones and dates: Key milestones include the January 13, 2026 designations (Lebanese MB FTO/SDGT; EMB and JMB SDGT). The Treasury press release reiterates the intent to continue the sustained effort to disrupt MB networks. No concrete successor milestones or dates have been published publicly by early February 2026.
Source reliability and interpretation: The primary sources are official U.S. government statements (State Department press release and Treasury OFAC action), which are authoritative for designations and sanctions policy. Coverage from AP and The Hill corroborates the key facts and framing. Given the official nature of the actions, the reporting aligns with recognized standards for verification and neutrality.
Follow-up note: The completion condition—additional MB-designations—remains pending beyond the initial actions. Monitor OFAC and State Department announcements for any new designations or related sanctions updates in the coming months.
Update · Feb 08, 2026, 11:21 AMin_progress
What the claim states: the January 13, 2026 announcements signal an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The initial actions designate three branches as terrorist entities and SDGTs, marking the opening phase of that effort (State Dept press release, 2026-01-13; Treasury sb0357).
Evidence of progress to date: the State Department designated the Lebanese Muslim Brotherhood as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and SDGT, while Treasury designated the
Egyptian and
Jordanian chapters as SDGTs for providing material support to Hamas (State Dept press release; Treasury sb0357). These actions represent the first concrete steps in the stated ongoing effort (State Dept press release, 2026-01-13).
Evidence about completion vs. ongoing status: as of February 8, 2026, there have been public reports of the initial designations, but no publicly announced follow-on designations beyond the January 13 actions. Analysts and outlets describe the action as the opening phase of an ongoing, sustained effort, implying subsequent steps could follow (State Dept press release, AP News summary, 2026-01-13).
Dates and milestones: the milestone date is January 13, 2026, when three Muslim Brotherhood chapters were designated (
Lebanon as FTO/SDGT;
Egypt and
Jordan as SDGTs). The statements frame this as the start of a broader, sustained campaign, with no published completion date or list of future targets as of 2026-02-08 (State Dept press release; Treasury sb0357; AP News).
Reliability and interpretation of sources: official U.S. government releases (State Department and Treasury) are the primary sources for the designation itself, providing contemporaneous statements of intent. Coverage from AP and Hill corroborates the initial steps and frames the action as the opening phase, though none report additional, specific next designations by early February 2026 (State Dept press release; Treasury sb0357; AP News; Hill).
Update · Feb 08, 2026, 09:11 AMin_progress
Claim restatement: The January 13, 2026 Treasury/State announcement states a sustained
U.S. effort to designate Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations, with signals that additional designations would follow. It frames this as the first actions in an ongoing campaign rather than a one-off move. The language emphasizes that further designations are part of the policy approach.
Evidence of progress: The initial action on January 13, 2026 designated
Egyptian and Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood branches as terrorist organizations for their support to Hamas, via OFAC designation under E.O. 13224. The Treasury press release explicitly notes this as the first actions of an ongoing, sustained effort and cites the designations as a vehicle to disrupt financial and operational support to designated groups (OFAC/State coordination).
Status of completion: As of February 7, 2026, there is public reporting of the initial designations, but no publicly identified follow-on designations to date. The Treasury OFAC record for January 13 confirms the first actions; subsequent deadlines or announced milestones for additional designations have not yet materialized in public records.
Source reliability and incentives: The primary sources are official U.S. government releases (Treasury OFAC and the Treasury press release SB0357), which are authoritative for sanctions actions. The absence of announced follow-ons in February suggests the “ongoing, sustained effort” language has not yet yielded additional public designations, though the policy stance remains in effect. Given the government’s incentives to appear measured and legally grounded, continued reporting should be tracked for any new OFAC actions or State Department designations.
Reliability note: The main sources are official government communications (Treasury/OFAC) corroborated by the Treasury press release. No credible competing analyses are necessary to verify the status; pending additional actions should be monitored in OFAC’s recent actions page and Treasury press releases for updates.
Update · Feb 08, 2026, 04:25 AMin_progress
Restated claim: The January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The initial action designated multiple Brotherhood chapters (
Lebanese by State,
Egyptian and
Jordanian by Treasury) as terrorists or SDGTs, as part of a broader policy to counter their support for Hamas (Treasury OFAC press release, Jan 13, 2026; State Dept press release, Jan 13, 2026). This supports the claim that the effort is ongoing and intended to include further designations beyond the first actions.
Evidence of progress: On the same day, the U.S. designated the Lebanese Brotherhood as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and SDGT, and the Brotherhood leadership as an SDGT; concurrently, the Treasury designated the Egyptian and Jordanian branches for material support to Hamas. State Department statements frame these as opening actions in a broader, sustained campaign (State Dept press release; Treasury press release, Jan 13, 2026). These actions establish a concrete milestone consistent with the promise of ongoing designations.
Current status of the promise: The initial designations have occurred, and official statements describe them as the first actions in an ongoing, sustained effort. There is no public completion date or end-point announced; subsequent milestones or additional designations have not yet been publicly documented in the cited materials. Therefore, the claim remains in progress rather than completed.
Key dates and milestones: January 13, 2026 marks the pivotal milestone with the designation of Lebanese, Egyptian, and Jordanian Brotherhood branches. The Treasury OFAC action and the State Department designation are presented as the opening actions of a continuing campaign (Treasury press release; State press release, Jan 13, 2026). No later milestones are listed in the sources reviewed.
Source reliability and balance: The sources are official U.S. government communications (Treasury and State) from January 2026, which provides primary documentation for the designations and stated intent. Coverage from these sources is consistent and corroborative across agencies, supporting a cautious, nonpartisan interpretation of the actions and stated policy. No independent or non-governmental analyses were necessary to establish the basic sequence of events, though independent reporting could be consulted for broader context if needed.
Follow-up note: Given this is described as the opening actions of an ongoing effort, a focused follow-up on or after a proposed date for additional designations would clarify progress toward the stated completion condition. A check-in around mid-to-late 2026 would capture whether further chapters have been designated.
Update · Feb 08, 2026, 02:22 AMin_progress
The claim states that the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Public sources confirm the initial action: the
Lebanese,
Jordanian, and
Egyptian branches were designated as Foreign Terrorist Organizations or SDGTs, with the Treasury citing material support to Hamas and the State Department flagging the Lebanese branch and its leader as SDGTs (State Dept release, 2026-01-13; Treasury SB0357).
The administration framed these as the opening actions of a broader, sustained effort to thwart Muslim Brotherhood violence and destabilization wherever it occurs, including through additional terrorist designations (State Dept press release, 2026-01-13; Treasury press release, 2026-01-13).
The sources describe the effort as ongoing rather than complete, aligning with the stated goal of pursuing further designations as part of a continuing campaign (State Dept, 2026-01-13; Treasury, 2026-01-13).
There is no published completion date; progress will depend on future actions by the Administration, potentially followed by additional sanctions designations tied to Muslim Brotherhood chapters (State Dept release, 2026-01-13; Treasury SB0357).
Overall, the claim remains plausible and consistent with the public record to date, though the specific pace and scope of any future designations have not been stated in a fixed timeline (State Dept release, 2026-01-13; Treasury SB0357).
Reliability notes: the primary sources are official U.S. government releases from the State Department and the Treasury, which publicly frame the actions as the opening phase of an ongoing effort; reporting from major outlets corroborates the initial designations (State Dept; Treasury; AP News).
Update · Feb 08, 2026, 12:34 AMin_progress
Summary of the claim: The administration described an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that would include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters, beginning with the January 13, 2026 actions.
Update · Feb 07, 2026, 10:39 PMin_progress
Restated claim: The January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Evidence of progress: The State Department and Treasury on January 13, 2026 announced the designation of three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations, describing these as the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to curb violence and destabilization by Brotherhood networks (State Dept; Treasury). These actions establish a formal initial step and set expectations for future actions under the stated approach.
Current status vs. completion: There is no public indication, as of February 7, 2026, that additional designations have been announced or implemented beyond the initial three chapters. The agencies frame the effort as ongoing, but the completion condition—“additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters”—has not been publicly fulfilled beyond the initial actions to date.
Reliability and context: Primary sources from the U.S. government (State Department and Treasury) provide the clearest, most authoritative account of the designation decisions and the stated intent to pursue further actions. Coverage from reputable outlets corroborates the initial designations and frames them as part of an ongoing policy posture rather than a completed package. The information aligns with incentives to deter activity attributed to Muslim Brotherhood networks and to signal ongoing tools to counter terrorism.
Follow-up note: Monitor for subsequent designation announcements or policy actions in the weeks following February 2026 to determine whether additional chapters are designated.
Update · Feb 07, 2026, 08:27 PMin_progress
The claim states that the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort to designate additional Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorists. Initial reporting confirms the administration designated three MB chapters (
Egyptian,
Lebanese, and
Jordanian) as terrorist organizations, framing this as the first action in what was described as a sustained campaign (State Dept. release Jan 13, 2026; Treasury press release Jan 13, 2026; Reuters summary Jan 13, 2026).
Evidence of progress: the January 13, 2026 actions proceeded with formal designations and sanctions, including Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) listings and related penalties announced by the State and Treasury Departments. Officials characterized the move as part of a broader effort to disrupt funding and support for groups linked to Hamas and other violent actors (State; Treasury; Reuters).
Current status: as of February 7, 2026, there is no widely reported, publicly confirmed follow-on designation of additional MB chapters beyond the three initially named, suggesting that the stated ongoing designations have not yet produced a publicly announced second round of targets. Major outlets reported the initial designations but did not indicate subsequent MB chapter listings within the near term (AP; Reuters).
Milestones and dates: the confirmatory milestones are the Jan 13, 2026 designation announcements and the accompanying Treasury/State Department fact sheets and press materials. No concrete public milestones for further designations have appeared in major outlets through early February 2026.
Source reliability and incentives: reporting relies on official U.S. government statements (State Dept. and Treasury Dept.) and major news agencies (Reuters, AP), which supports the factual basis of the initial designations. Given the Administration’s stated aim to expand designations as part of a sustained effort, ongoing monitoring of official briefings is needed to confirm any subsequent actions; current coverage does not show completed additional designations.
Update · Feb 07, 2026, 06:48 PMin_progress
The claim states that the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The initial actions were presented as opening steps in a broader campaign to curb MB violence and destabilization.
Update · Feb 07, 2026, 04:22 PMin_progress
Restated claim: The January 13, 2026 Treasury announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Progress evidence: The Jan. 13, 2026 actions designated three Muslim Brotherhood regional branches (
Lebanon,
Jordan, and
Egypt) as terrorist entities, describing them as part of an ongoing, sustained effort to curb Brotherhood violence and destabilization. Coverage from major outlets confirms these initial designations and frames them as the opening actions of a broader policy push (LAT 2026-01-13; AFP‑via‑WFMZ reporting).
Current status assessment: As of 2026-02-07, there is no public record of subsequent Muslim Brotherhood designations beyond the three branches announced on Jan. 13, 2026. U.S. officials characterized the move as the start of an ongoing effort, but no additional designations have been publicly disclosed in subsequent official statements or widely cited reporting.
Evidence and milestones: Key milestone achieved was the official designation of the
Lebanese,
Jordanian, and
Egyptian branches as terrorist entities, with sanctions and criminalization of material support. The projected trajectory described in the announcement is forward-looking, but concrete next steps or timelines for further designations have not been publicly documented in accessible sources.
Source reliability note: The Jan. 13, 2026 rollout was reported by established outlets (Los Angeles Times; AFP-wrapped coverage) and reflects the Treasury/State Department action described in the Treasury release. Given the discrete, official nature of designations, reporting from these outlets is consistent with the claim’s framing as an initial batch in a broader effort.
Update · Feb 07, 2026, 02:30 PMin_progress
Restated claim: The January 13, 2026 announcements signal an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The State Department designated the
Lebanese MB as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and SDGT, while the Treasury/OFAC designated the
Egyptian and
Jordanian MB chapters as SDGTs for providing support to Hamas. These actions are framed as the opening steps in an ongoing campaign to curb MB violence and destabilization worldwide.
Progress and evidence: The January 2026 actions represent initial designations tied to Executive Order 14362 and related authorities, with official statements describing them as the first actions of an ongoing effort. The two agencies emphasized that more MB chapters could be targeted in the future as part of the sustained effort. Public documentation from Treasury and State confirms the existence of a coordinated, multi-agency approach initiating sanctions against MB branches in multiple countries.
Current status and completion prospects: As of February 7, 2026, there is no public announcement of further MB designations beyond the Lebanese, Egyptian, and Jordanian chapters cited in the initial package. Multiple official outlets characterize the move as the start of an ongoing program, but a concrete, announced list of subsequent targets or a fixed completion timeline has not been published. The reliability of the claim rests on the stated policy intent rather than a documented schedule of future designations.
Notes on sources and reliability: The key attestations come from the U.S. Department of the Treasury (OFAC) press release dated January 13, 2026 and the U.S. Department of State press release the same day. Both components frame the actions as the opening steps of a sustained effort to designate MB chapters, with a stated intention to pursue additional designations. These official sources are consistent and high-quality, but do not disclose concrete milestones beyond the initial designations. Follow-up sources should monitor official statements or sanctions actions for new designations.
Update · Feb 07, 2026, 12:50 PMin_progress
Restated claim: The January 13, 2026 announcements signal an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The initial actions designated three MB chapters (
Lebanese,
Egyptian, and
Jordanian) and stated that this reflects the opening actions of a sustained effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization, with potential for more designations.
What progress exists so far: The Department of the Treasury and the Department of State issued coordinated designations on January 13, 2026. The State Department press release confirms the Lebanese, Jordanian, and Egyptian MB chapters were designated, with the designations described as the opening actions in an ongoing, sustained effort. The Treasury press release similarly frames the action as part of a broader policy to disrupt MB support networks.
Evidence about completion status: As of February 7, 2026, there is no public reporting of additional MB designations beyond the initial three chapters. Both Treasury and State emphasize ongoing, future actions but have not publicly announced a second tranche or a concrete completion timeline. The absence of further designations in this period suggests the process remains in the early, ongoing phase rather than completed.
Dates and milestones: January 13, 2026 marks the initial MB designations (three chapters designated by State and Treasury actions). The accompanying statements frame these as the first actions in an ongoing effort, but no subsequent milestones have been publicly disclosed. The sources indicate a continuing policy trajectory rather than a defined completion date.
Reliability and context of sources: The report relies on official U.S. government sources (State Department press release and Treasury press release), which provide primary statements of policy and designation actions. Coverage from corroborating outlets (e.g., The Hill, AP) aligns with the official statements. Given the explicit framing of an ongoing process by these agencies, the interpretation that designations are in progress rather than finished is consistent with the published material.
Follow-up note: Monitor for any additional MB designations or updates from State/Treasury in the coming months. A concrete milestone would be any announced second tranche or new chapter designations, which would indicate advancement of the stated sustained effort.
Update · Feb 07, 2026, 11:23 AMin_progress
What the claim states: The January 13, 2026 Treasury-State announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
What has been done so far: The initial actions designated
Egyptian,
Jordanian, and
Lebanese Muslim Brotherhood branches as terrorist organizations, marking the opening actions of the stated sustained effort (Treasury SB0357; State Department release). These designations target material support to Hamas and related activities, with OFAC and the State Department coordinating the actions (official releases).
Progress toward the promise: As of February 7, 2026, there have been no publicly announced follow-up designations beyond the initial three branches. The materials frame this as an ongoing effort, but concrete additional designations have not been publicly disclosed in the interim (SB0357; State Department release).
Milestones and dates: January 13, 2026 — designations of the Egyptian, Jordanian, and Lebanese MB branches as Foreign Terrorist Organizations/Specially Designated Global Terrorists. The releases describe these as the opening actions of an ongoing effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization. No additional milestones have been publicly announced to date (SB0357; State Department release).
Source reliability and incentives: The disclosures come from official U.S. government channels (Treasury OFAC and the State Department), which are primary sources for sanctions actions. Their framing emphasizes an ongoing, policy-driven effort, with potential regional and political incentives affecting MB designations. Ongoing OFAC updates and subsequent statements should be monitored for new milestones (SB0357; State Department release).
Follow-up note: A targeted follow-up should be scheduled if possible for 2026-06-01 to verify whether further MB designations have been announced and to assess any new milestones in the sustained effort.
Update · Feb 07, 2026, 09:18 AMin_progress
Restated claim: The Treasury and State announcements described an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that would include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The language framed current actions as opening steps in a broader campaign to disrupt MB activity (State Dept, 2026-01-13; Treasury OFAC designation, 2026-01-13).
Evidence of progress: On January 13, 2026, the administration announced designations targeting MB chapters in
Lebanon (as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and SDGT) and designated
Egyptian and
Jordanian MB branches as SDGTs for providing material support to Hamas. The coordinated action involved both the Department of State and the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) at Treasury (State Dept, 2026-01-13; Treasury press release, 2026-01-13).
Milestones and scope: The State designation of the
Lebanese MB and related SDGT actions, plus the Treasury designation of MB branches in
Egypt and
Jordan, represent concrete initial steps. The joint statements emphasized that these actions “reflect the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart Muslim Brotherhood violence and destabilization wherever it occurs,” with a stated aim to deprive MB chapters of resources (State Dept, 2026-01-13; Treasury, 2026-01-13).
Current status relative to the completion condition: The claim envisions additional MB designations as part of a sustained effort. As of February 6, 2026, there is no public record of further MB designations beyond the January 13, 2026 actions, so the claim appears to be in_progress rather than complete or cancelled (State Dept, 2026-01-13; Treasury, 2026-01-13).
Source reliability: The evaluation relies on official U.S. government sources (State Department and Treasury/OFAC). These primary sources provide contemporaneous, authoritative statements of policy and sanctions actions, offering a high level of reliability for the stated designations and the characterization of an ongoing effort (State Dept, 2026-01-13; Treasury, 2026-01-13).
Incentives and context note: The sanctions framework reflects a clear incentive structure: disrupt MB funding and support networks to reduce operational capabilities. The designations align with U.S. counterterrorism policy aims and signal intent to apply additional sanctions tools if MB chapters continue actions linked to violence or support for designated groups (OFAC, 13224; EO 14362 context in State release).
Update · Feb 07, 2026, 05:12 AMin_progress
Restating the claim: the January 13, 2026 Treasury/State action designating Muslim Brotherhood branches signals an ongoing, sustained effort that will include additional MB designations. The designation language frames today’s action as the first step in a continuing program. The claim hinges on future, as-yet-unannounced designations to complete the stated effort.
Update · Feb 07, 2026, 03:09 AMin_progress
The claim restates that the January 13, 2026 Treasury and State designation announcements signal an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The initial action, announced jointly by the Department of the Treasury and the Department of State, designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations and foreign terrorist organizations, representing the first actions of what officials described as an ongoing campaign. Evidence of progress shows the use of designation tools to target MB chapters and deprive them of resources, with statements that additional designations would follow as part of the sustained effort. However, as of February 6, 2026, there are no publicly reported follow-on designations or milestones beyond the initial three branches designated on January 13, 2026. Coverage from major outlets confirms the initial designations, but a clear timetable for further actions has not yet materialized in public records within the short window since the announcement.
Update · Feb 07, 2026, 01:15 AMin_progress
Claim restated: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The January 13, 2026 designations from the State Department and Treasury designate MB chapters in
Lebanon (FTO/SDGT) and the
Egyptian and
Jordanian branches (SDGTs for Hamas support), framing these actions as the opening steps in a broader effort (State press release; Treasury press release).
Progress evidence: The actions themselves implement authorities to block assets and prohibit U.S. transactions with listed entities and individuals, constituting concrete steps in the policy to curb MB activity (State press release; OFAC designation details). Officials described these as the first actions of an ongoing effort to deprive MB chapters of resources to engage in or support terrorism.
Current status: As of 2026-02-06, no public follow-up MB designations had been announced beyond the January 13 actions; officials characterized the effort as ongoing with future actions possible (State/Treasury releases; accompanying coverage).
Milestones and authorities: The designations rely on E.O. 13224 authorities; Lebanon’s MB is a Foreign Terrorist Organization and SDGT, while Egyptian and Jordanian MB branches are SDGTs for Hamas support, signaling a coordinated use of sanctions to disrupt networks and funding (State press release; Treasury OFAC release).
Reliability and incentives: Sources include the U.S. State Department, Treasury, and reputable outlets (AP), which present these actions as policy steps rather than partisan judgments, focusing on the incentive to disrupt funding and support networks for MB chapters (State/Treasury releases; AP coverage).
Update · Feb 06, 2026, 11:07 PMin_progress
Claim restated: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The January 13, 2026 action designates
Egyptian,
Jordanian, and
Lebanese MB branches as terrorist entities, presenting these as the opening actions of a broader effort to curb MB violence and destabilization (OFAC press release; State Department release). Officials describe the designations as the first steps in a sustained campaign, with the Administration signaling potential further actions to target MB chapters and their support networks. Reliability notes: the claim is grounded in official U.S. government statements from Treasury and State, which articulate an ongoing policy direction rather than a completed, final set of designations.
Update · Feb 06, 2026, 09:23 PMin_progress
Restated claim: The January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The initial actions designated three Brotherhood chapters and framed them as opening moves in a broader campaign to thwart violence and destabilization.
Update · Feb 06, 2026, 07:18 PMin_progress
The claim states that the announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The January 13, 2026 Treasury release frames the action as the first in an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization, with potential for further designations. This establishes the policy intent and mechanism for future actions.
Evidence of progress includes official designations on or after January 13, 2026:
Egyptian and
Jordanian MB branches designated for material support to Hamas by OFAC, and the
Lebanese MB branch designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and SDGT by the State Department. These steps demonstrate practical movement beyond rhetoric and into a continuing program.
The actions represent concrete milestones in line with the claim, though no official completion date is published. The coordinated use of OFAC and State Department authorities supports the interpretation of an ongoing program rather than a single-event action.
Reliability is strengthened by cross-agency official sources and corroborating reporting from reputable outlets; remaining questions focus on whether additional MB designations will be announced and on timing. Overall, the status appears to be in_progress with subsequent designations likely as part of the stated sustained effort.
Update · Feb 06, 2026, 04:39 PMin_progress
Claim restatement: The January 13, 2026 Treasury and State announcements frame an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The statements describe these actions as opening steps in a broader campaign to counter Muslim Brotherhood violence and destabilization wherever it occurs, with the possibility of further designations.
Evidence of progress: The January 13, 2026 designations applied to three Muslim Brotherhood branches, marking the first actions in what officials describe as an ongoing campaign. Both State and Treasury emphasize that these are initial steps within a sustained effort.
Status of completion: There is no completed, final tally of all future designations; officials indicate that additional designations could follow as part of the ongoing effort. Public statements frame further actions as potential future steps rather than a completed package.
Dates and milestones: The initial designations were announced on January 13, 2026. Subsequent coverage notes these as opening actions and point to the potential for more designations; no explicit timetable for additional actions is provided.
Reliability and context: Official releases from the State Department and Treasury are high-reliability primary sources. Coverage from AP, PBS, The Hill and other outlets corroborates the initial designations and framing of an ongoing process, though interpretations of scope vary.
Overall assessment: As of early February 2026, the claim is best described as in_progress, with a clearly stated intention of additional designations and no definitive completion date announced.
Update · Feb 06, 2026, 02:40 PMin_progress
Claim restatement: The article describes an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort to designate Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorists, with the first actions signaling an ongoing program and the expectation of additional designations.
Evidence of progress: On January 13, 2026, the U.S. Treasury and State Departments announced initial designations of Muslim Brotherhood chapters as foreign terrorist organizations/specially designated global terrorists, framing these as the opening actions of a broader effort. These moves were reported by multiple reputable outlets and accompanied by official statements describing an ongoing, sustained effort to deter violence and destabilization linked to Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Current status: As of early February 2026, there is no publicly documented completion of further designations beyond the initial actions. Officials characterized the process as ongoing, but independent confirmation of additional designations had not been reported by major outlets at that time.
Milestones and reliability: The January 13, 2026 designations constitute the first milestone in what officials described as a sustained effort. Continued monitoring of official briefings and subsequent designation lists is needed to confirm pace and scope of future actions.
Follow-up note: Given the policy-sensitive nature of these actions, future updates from the State Department and Treasury will be the most authoritative sources for any new designations.
Update · Feb 06, 2026, 12:58 PMin_progress
Summary of the claim and current status: The claim states that the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The initial actions designated MB branches in
Lebanon,
Jordan, and
Egypt as terrorist entities and framed these as opening steps in a broader campaign (State Dept. press release; Treasury/OFAC release).
Progress and evidence to date: Public U.S. government releases on January 13, 2026 designate the
Lebanese MB as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and SDGT, and MB branches in Egypt and Jordan as SDGTs for providing support to Hamas. Officials described these as the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to disrupt MB violence and destabilization.
Completion status: As of February 6, 2026, there is no publicly reported follow-up designation of additional MB chapters beyond the initial three. The designation language emphasizes future actions, but concrete progress beyond the initial designations has not been publicly documented.
Dates and milestones: January 13, 2026 — coordinated MB designations by State and Treasury; characterization of the action as the start of a sustained campaign. No announced completion date or specific milestones for further designations are publicly available at this time.
Source reliability and incentives: The assessment relies on official U.S. government sources (State Department and OFAC/Treasury releases), which are authoritative for policy actions. These documents frame incentives as disrupting MB funding and operations to prevent terrorism.
Update · Feb 06, 2026, 11:29 AMin_progress
Claim restatement: The article asserts this is an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters beyond the initial actions. Progress evidence: On January 13, 2026, the State Department designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters and the Treasury designated related branches as SDGTs, framing these as the opening actions of a broader effort. Current status: These initial designations constitute progress, but there is no public, confirmed completion of further MB designations beyond the three branches announced that day. Milestones and dates: January 13, 2026 marks the first set of MB designations; agency statements indicate ongoing actions but no fixed deadline for additional designations. Source reliability: Official U.S. government sources (State Department and Treasury) frame this as the first step in a continuing program; corroboration from outlets like AP and The Hill supports the basic facts.
Update · Feb 06, 2026, 09:18 AMin_progress
Restated claim: The January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Evidence shows that the initial step was taken: three Muslim Brotherhood chapters (
Lebanese,
Egyptian, and
Jordanian) were designated, with the State Department and Treasury describing this as the opening action of an ongoing, sustained effort. Multiple reputable outlets and the agencies themselves framed the action as the start of further designations to follow, rather than a one-off sanction.
Progress so far: On January 13, 2026, the Department of State designated the Lebanese Muslim Brotherhood as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and SDGT, and designated its leader as an SDGT. Concurrently, the Treasury designated the Egyptian and Jordanian branches as SDGTs for providing material support to Hamas. These actions are explicitly described as the first actions of an ongoing effort to curb the organization’s violence and destabilization, with promises of additional designations to come.
Ongoing vs. completed: By February 5, 2026, there were no publicly reported additional designations beyond the January 13 announcements. The administration’s stated intent remains to continue designating further branches as part of the sustained campaign, but there is no public confirmation of new designations within the cited window. This creates a status of continued progress rather than a closed completion.
Dates and milestones: Key dates include January 13, 2026 (initial designations by State and Treasury) and February 2026 reporting windows that did not reveal further actions. The “ongoing” framing in the official releases is the main milestone signal, with the next concrete step expected as new designations are announced. No reliable public milestones beyond the three initial designations have been published as of 2026-02-05.
Source reliability and incentives: Primary sources are official U.S. government agencies (State Department, Treasury OFAC) and corroborating reporting from major outlets (AP, The Hill, etc.), which are consistent in describing the action as the opening phase of a broader effort. The stated incentives for the administration are counterterrorism and sanctions enforcement, aligned with the policy to disrupt funding and support networks for Hamas-linked activities. Given the official framing, it is reasonable to monitor for forthcoming designations in line with the sustained effort.
Update · Feb 06, 2026, 04:43 AMin_progress
Claim restatement: The Treasury and allied agencies signaled an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Evidence of the initial action: On January 13, 2026, the administrations designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations, with official statements describing them as opening actions in a sustained effort. The designations were issued jointly by the Treasury Department’s OFAC and the State Department, and were echoed in multiple outlets confirming the announcement as the start of broader actions. No public, authoritative update by February 5, 2026 indicates additional designations have been completed beyond the initial three branches. The status of progress remains that the initial step has been taken, but further targeted designations have not been publicly announced to date. Reliability note: Primary sources are official U.S. government press releases (Treasury and State) corroborated by major outlets; ongoing monitoring is needed to verify subsequent actions or new designations.
Update · Feb 06, 2026, 03:00 AMin_progress
The claim restates that the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Publicly available official materials describe the action as the opening phase of an ongoing campaign and pledge to use all tools to disrupt MB chapters’ support for terrorism (State Department and Treasury press releases, Jan 13, 2026). AP coverage echoed this framing, quoting officials about a sustained effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization.
Evidence of progress includes the initial designations of three MB chapters (
Lebanon,
Jordan,
Egypt) as terrorist organizations or global terrorists, issued jointly by State and Treasury on January 13, 2026. The statements characterize these moves as the first actions of a broader program, with authorities signaling intent to pursue further designations and related tools. No contemporaneous public notice of additional MB designations beyond the three chapters had surfaced by February 5, 2026.
What remains uncertain is whether further MB chapters have been designated since the initial actions. The administration had framed the January 13 steps as the opening actions of a sustained effort, but no confirmed follow-up designations had been publicly announced in the sources reviewed. This creates an incomplete picture of whether the stated trajectory has produced additional concrete designations to date.
Milestones and dates where available show January 13, 2026 as the key completion event for the initial wave, with the completion condition (additional MB designations) still outstanding as of early February. The principal sources are official U.S. government releases (State Department and OFAC) and mainstream reporting (AP), which collectively present a cautious, ongoing process rather than a closed, finished action. Source reliability is high for the facts reported (official releases; AP reporting).
Follow-up status note: If additional MB designations occur, they would represent the expected continuation of the stated policy. A targeted follow-up date to reassess progress could be 2026-06-01, to capture any mid-year updates or new designation announcements.
Update · Feb 06, 2026, 01:14 AMin_progress
Summary of the claim: The January 13, 2026 announcement stated that
the United States would pursue an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart Muslim Brotherhood violence and destabilization, including through additional terrorist designations targeting Brotherhood chapters.
Evidence of progress to date: The State Department and Treasury announced the first wave of designations on January 13, 2026, designating the
Lebanese,
Jordanian, and
Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations or SDGTs, and signaling an ongoing, sustained effort to deprive these chapters of resources (State Department press release; Treasury press release). These actions represent the initial step in what the administrations described as continuing designations to follow as part of the policy to curtail the Brotherhood’s influence and support for terrorism (State/Treasury press releases).
Current status as of 2026-02-05: No publicly announced additional designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters had been reported between January 13 and February 5, 2026. Coverage and official statements framed the January actions as opening actions in a broader ongoing effort, but concrete follow-up designations had not been publicly disclosed during this period (State Department statement; Treasury press release).
Milestones and dates: January 13, 2026 — first designations of three Brotherhood chapters (Lebanese, Jordanian, Egyptian) with related SDGT listings; subsequent Department of State and Treasury communications described these as the opening actions of a sustained campaign. No published, verifiable milestones or completion announcements appeared by February 5, 2026.
Source reliability and balance: The information relies on official
U.S. government sources (State Department and Treasury) reporting the designations and framing them as ongoing, with typical media coverage from reputable outlets echoing the official stance. This alignment between agencies supports factual accuracy regarding the actions taken and the stated intent, though it does not confirm future designations beyond those publicly announced to date. See State Department press release (Jan 13, 2026) and Treasury press release (Jan 13, 2026).

What the claim stated: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The claim rests on the idea that initial actions were the opening moves in a broader campaign to curb MB violence and destabilization wherever it occurs.
Progress evidence: By January 13, 2026, Treasury and State designated MB chapters in
Egypt,
Jordan, and
Lebanon as part of a broader sustained effort. These actions followed a November 2025 executive action designating MB chapters as FTO/SDGT under EO 13224, indicating a continued escalation and a plan for further designations. Media and official statements framed these moves as foundational actions in an ongoing process.
Milestones and status: The January 2026 designations mark concrete steps toward disrupting MB support networks and financing, with further designations anticipated as part of the ongoing effort. There is no publicly announced completion date as of February 5, 2026, and the process appears to be continuing rather than concluded.
Reliability and caveats: The primary sources are U.S. government releases (Treasury OFAC; State Department) and corroborating reporting from AP, all framing the actions as opening moves in a longer campaign. Future steps depend on policy assessments and legal processes, so the claim remains plausible but uncompleted as of the current date.
Update · Feb 05, 2026, 09:06 PMin_progress
Claim restated: The administration signaled an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that would include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Evidence shows the January 13, 2026 announcements designate specific MB chapters (
Egyptian,
Jordanian, and
Lebanese) as terrorist entities and frame them as part of an ongoing effort, with the Treasury and State Departments stressing that more designations would follow as part of a sustained campaign. The announcements describe these as opening moves in a broader policy rather than a completed package of all possible designations. While no public record by early February confirms subsequent MB designations beyond the initial set, the official language repeatedly asserts future actions will follow.

The claim states that the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The initial action framed by Treasury and State as the first in a broader, continuing effort to curb MB violence and destabilization (Treasury SB0357, 2026-01-13).

Claim restatement: The January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Progress evidence: On January 13, 2026, the Treasury and State Departments announced initial designations of Muslim Brotherhood chapters (
Lebanese designated by State as FTO/SDGT and leaders;
Egyptian and
Jordanian chapters designated by Treasury as SDGTs). These actions are described as the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart Muslim Brotherhood violence and destabilization, with a stated intent to use all tools to deprive chapters of resources. Public coverage from State, Treasury, and major outlets confirms this first-wave action (State Dept press release, Treasury OFAC release, AP/Reuters-style reporting).
Current status vs. completion: There is no published completion date or terminal milestone indicating a final end-state; the administration frames these as initial steps in a continuing campaign, implying further designations could follow. The February 2026 coverage reiterates the ongoing nature of the effort, but concrete follow-up designations beyond the January wave are not documented in the sources reviewed.
Source reliability and notes: The primary materials come from official U.S. government sources (State Department press release, Treasury OFAC press release) and corroborating reporting from AP and other outlets. These sources are consistent in describing the actions as the opening moves of a broader campaign with continued use of designation authorities. Given the incentives of the issuing agencies, the reporting balances official framing with independent confirmation from multiple outlets.
Update · Feb 05, 2026, 02:42 PMin_progress
Restated claim: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Evidence to date shows the administration began this effort with initial designations on January 13, 2026, indicating the opening actions of a broader, sustained campaign. The State Department designated the Lebanese Muslim Brotherhood as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and SDGT, while Treasury designated
Egyptian and Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood chapters as SDGTs in coordination with the State Department.
Progress to date: The January 13, 2026 announcements constitute concrete actions confirming the start of the designated effort. These actions are described as the opening moves in a broader campaign intended to disrupt support and operations of Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Independent reporting and the issuing agencies emphasize that more designations are expected as part of the ongoing effort.
Current status: The initial set of designations has been completed, fulfilling the “opening actions” aspect of the administration’s stated plan. There is no public, verifiable record of additional designations having occurred between January 13 and February 5, 2026. The announcements explicitly frame future actions as part of an ongoing, sustained effort, but concrete milestones beyond the initial designations have not been publicly disclosed.
Dates and milestones: Key dates include January 13, 2026 (initial designations by State and Treasury). The publicly available materials do not list a timeline or specific milestones for subsequent designations within the immediate period up to February 5, 2026. The reliability of sources is high for the initial actions, with official statements from State and Treasury corroborated by major outlets.
Source reliability note: Primary information comes from official U.S. government communications (State Department press release and Treasury press release) corroborated by reputable outlets (AP, The Hill). These sources provide consistent descriptions of the actions as the initial step in a broader, sustained policy, with explicit notes that additional designations would follow as part of the ongoing effort.
Update · Feb 05, 2026, 01:26 PMin_progress
The claim restates that the January 13, 2026 Treasury-State announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Public materials from Treasury and State frame the action as the opening move in a broader campaign to curb Muslim Brotherhood violence and destabilization, with the promise of further designations to follow (OFAC designation; State designation of additional branches). The initial designations targeted
Egyptian,
Jordanian, and Lebanese Muslim Brotherhood entities, with the agencies stating these actions reflect an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart these chapters wherever they operate.
Evidence of progress beyond the initial actions is not evident in publicly announced additional designations as of February 5, 2026. Reputable outlets and the agencies’ own releases describe the January 13 move as the first actions of a broader program, but there is no reporting of subsequent branches being designated yet in the cited period. Key sources (Treasury OFAC press release; State Department release) emphasize future steps rather than completed milestones within the window analyzed.
Reliability of sources is high: the primary documents are official U.S. government releases (Treasury OFAC and State Department) corroborated by major outlets (AP, The Hill) that summarize the same statements. The reporting is consistent about the stated intent and the lack of confirmed further designations at this time. No contradictory or compromised sources appear to challenge the core claim about an ongoing designations program.
Notes on incentives: the administration’s framing centers on disrupting financial and operational support for terrorist groups tied to the Muslim Brotherhood, with a policy trajectory that emphasizes sanctions as a tool of leverage. If more branches are designated, the incentive structure would widen to deprive additional chapters of resources and constrain support networks; if not, critics might question the pace or scope of the campaign. Monitoring for future announcements will indicate whether policy changes translate into concrete, repeated designations across more chapters.

The claim asserts that the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Public records show the first actions on that promise: on January 13, 2026, the U.S. designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations, described in official statements as the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart violence and destabilization. Subsequent reporting reiterates the administration’s intent to use all available tools and to pursue additional designations, but there is no public confirmation of further designations as of early February 2026. The administration and allied outlets frame the move as the start of a broader, continuing campaign rather than a completed, comprehensive package.
Update · Feb 05, 2026, 09:04 AMin_progress
Claim restatement: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Progress evidence: On January 13, 2026, the U.S. Treasury and State Departments designated several Muslim Brotherhood chapters and affiliated leaders as terrorist entities, describing these actions as the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to curb MB violence and destabilization (OFAC designation for MB branches; FTO/SDGT designations; concurrent State Department designations). Key sources include the Treasury press release SB0357 and the State Department release on terrorist designations of MB chapters. These actions reflect a coordinated, multi-agency step consistent with the stated policy.
Current status of the promise: The initial wave of designations has occurred, marking progress in the promised sustained campaign, but no additional MB designations beyond the January 13 actions are described as completed in current official materials. The language explicitly frames these as first actions and anticipates “additional terrorist designations” as part of the ongoing effort. Therefore, the claim remains in_progress rather than complete.
Significant dates and milestones: January 13, 2026—designation of MB branches in
Egypt,
Jordan, and
Lebanon (State/OFAC actions) and designation of a MB leader; these actions establish the baseline for the ongoing campaign and set the framework for future actions. The White House executive action from November 2025 laid groundwork for such designations; subsequent press releases formalized the initial designations.
Source reliability note: The primary sources are U.S. government agencies (U.S. Department of the Treasury and U.S. Department of State), paired with reputable reporting (AP). These sources are official, with clear policy language indicating ongoing designations. While initial actions meet the stated objective, official updates on further designations should be monitored for confirmation of continued progress.
Follow-up framing: Given the stated intent of an ongoing, sustained effort, a focused follow-up should track announcements of additional MB chapter designations and any related policy steps (e.g., new SDGT/FTO actions or OFAC designations) on a quarterly basis.
Update · Feb 05, 2026, 04:55 AMin_progress
Restated claim: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Evidence of initial action: On January 13, 2026, the U.S. Treasury and State Departments designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations, marking the opening actions of what officials described as an ongoing, sustained effort (OFAC/Treasury press release; State Department statement). Current status as of 2026-02-04: There is no widely reported public announcement of additional Muslim Brotherhood designations beyond the initial three chapters; officials publicly framed the action as the first step, with further actions expected (AP coverage and official statements). Reliability of sources: Primary government releases from the State Department and Treasury provide the official account, corroborated by major news outlets, which strengthens credibility though public updates on new designations are not yet evident. Incentives note: The messaging emphasizes constraining support networks for terrorism, aligning with U.S. counterterrorism policy goals and internal interagency coordination, which may influence timing and scope of future designations. Follow-up implications: If new designations are announced, they would indicate progress toward the sustained effort; absence of additional public announcements suggests the process is ongoing and not yet evidenced by concrete actions as of early February 2026.

Claim restatement: The January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Progress evidence: On January 13, 2026, the State and Treasury Departments designated
Egyptian,
Lebanese, and Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations or global terrorists, framing these as the opening actions of a broader effort to curb the group's support for terrorism.
Current status: As of February 4, 2026, no publicly reported follow-on designations have been announced. Official statements describe an ongoing policy effort, suggesting future actions but not confirming a completed, expanded list at this time.
Notes on reliability and incentives: The announcements come from primary U.S. government sources (State and Treasury) and are corroborated by major outlets (Reuters, AP). The framing emphasizes an ongoing process, which aligns with typical phased designation approaches and the administration’s policy aims to limit the group’s resources; incentives include national security objectives and alliance coordination.
Update · Feb 05, 2026, 01:38 AMin_progress
Claim restatement: The administration signaled an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort to curb Muslim Brotherhood activity, including additional terrorist designations targeting MB chapters beyond the initial actions. The January 13, 2026 announcements framed the designations as first actions in a broader, continuing effort. The stated intent is to use all tools to disrupt MB support for terrorism and to designate further chapters as warranted.
Progress evidence: On January 13, 2026, the U.S. Treasury (OFAC) and the State Department designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist entities, marking the initial step of the promised ongoing effort. The
Lebanese MB (operating as al-Jamaa al-Islamiyah) was designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and a Specially Designated Global Terrorist; the
Jordanian and
Egyptian branches were designated as SDGT for providing support to Hamas. These actions are described in official Treasury and State Department materials and accompanying press coverage.
Status relative to the completion condition: The completion condition—additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters as part of the sustained effort—has not been publicly fulfilled beyond the three initial designations as of February 4, 2026. The administration’s communications emphasize ongoing capability and intent to pursue further designations, but there have been no publicly announced subsequent MB-chapter designations since the January 13 actions.
Milestones and dates: Key milestone is the January 13, 2026 joint designation of three MB chapters (Lebanese MB FTO/SDGT; Jordanian/ Egyptian branches as SDGT). These actions are described in official releases (Treasury OFAC and State Department). No confirmed public date has been set for a second tranche of designations; media coverage notes the designations as the first step of a broader policy. This suggests momentum but not a completed, fixed timetable.
Source reliability and incentives: The report relies on official U.S. government sources (Treasury OFAC, State Department) and corroborating coverage from major outlets (AP, policy-focused analyses). Given the governments’ stated incentives—to restrict MB activity and deter support for terrorism—the announcements appear consistent with stated policy aims. The integrity of the claim rests on ongoing government actions and future designation announcements, which have not yet materialized as of the current date.
Follow-up note: If additional MB-chapter designations are announced, they should be tracked through Treasury OFAC and State Department releases to confirm continued implementation of the stated sustained effort. A targeted follow-up date for reviewing progress could be 2026-04-13 or when the next tranche is publicly announced.
Update · Feb 04, 2026, 11:18 PMin_progress
What the claim states: The January 13, 2026 announcements signal an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The joint statements described these actions as the opening actions of a broader campaign to thwart MB violence and destabilization wherever it occurs, including through additional designations.
Evidence of initial progress: On January 13, 2026, the U.S. Treasury and State Departments designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations, with officials describing these as the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort. Official summaries and reputable coverage reference MB designations in multiple countries, marking the first steps in the stated campaign (State Department release; Treasury SB0357).
Progress status and completion condition: The announcements establish a framework for ongoing designations, but as of early February 2026 there is no public record of subsequent MB designations. The completion condition—additional designations as part of the sustained effort—has not been publicly fulfilled by that date; statements describe these as initial actions in a continuing process.
Dates and milestones: Key milestones include the January 13, 2026 Treasury and State designations and the January 14 reporting that MB chapters in
Egypt,
Lebanon, and
Jordan were designated as terrorist organizations. The ongoing nature of the effort remains uncertain based on public disclosures through February 4, 2026. Reliability note: Primary sources are official government statements (State Department and Treasury) and contemporary reporting from AP and other outlets.
Update · Feb 04, 2026, 08:57 PMin_progress
The claim states that the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Public records confirm the actions launched that day were presented as opening actions in a broader, sustained effort (with language noting that future designations could follow) by both the State Department and the Treasury's OFAC (OFAC designation of MB branches; State designation of MB chapters) [Treasury SB0357; State press release].
Evidence of progress includes the designation of MB chapters in
Lebanon (
Lebanese MB) as Foreign Terrorist Organization and SDGT, and designation of
Egyptian and
Jordanian MB branches as SDGTs for material support to Hamas, announced January 13, 2026. State’s briefing frames these as the first actions in an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization, with the designations described as opening steps toward broader action. These actions align with the Administration’s stated policy to curb MB influence and disrupt financial and logistic support networks [Treasury SB0357; State press release].
The completion condition—“additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters” as part of the sustained effort—remains partly fulfilled in the sense that some MB chapters have been designated, but the public record does not show a defined endpoint or a confirmed schedule for further designations as of early February 2026. The language from both agencies emphasizes ongoing, future steps rather than a completed package of actions. This implies continued federal use of designation authorities and related tools beyond the January 13 actions [Treasury SB0357; State press release].
Concrete milestones to date include the January 13, 2026 designation actions, the accompanying official statements reiterating an open-ended, ongoing campaign, and the outlining of sanctions implications (SDGT and FTO listings; blocking of property and financial restrictions). No separate, publicly announced follow-up designation date is available in the immediate record, suggesting a gap between stated intent and publicly confirmed milestones beyond the initial actions. Publicly available sources thus describe progress but not a finalized, sequential completion schedule.
Source reliability is high: the press releases come from U.S. Treasury and State Department official channels, with consistent messaging about ongoing action and next steps. Independent coverage from reputable outlets corroborates the substance of the designations and the framing of them as first steps in a broader effort. Given the official nature of the actions and the explicit phrasing about an ongoing process, the reporting should be considered credible and aligned with the policy incentives of combating MB influence and supporting regional stability.
In sum, the claim is supported by the January 13, 2026 actions and the explicit framing of an ongoing effort, but the record shows only initial designations so far and no announced final completion date. The current status is best described as in_progress: progress has occurred, but additional designations and milestones are anticipated rather than completed to a defined end point.

Summary of the claim: The article states that the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. It asserts that these designations are the opening actions of a broader campaign to thwart MB violence and destabilization.
Progress evidence: On January 13, 2026, the State Department and Treasury announced initial designations of Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations, describing them as the first actions of an ongoing effort and indicating further designations could follow. The Treasury SB0357 release and State Department statements framed these as part of a broader, sustained program.
Current status as of 2026-02-04: The initial designations were publicly issued and framed as the start of an ongoing effort. There is no publicly announced follow-up designation list or milestone after January 13 in the public record through early February 2026.
Milestones and reliability: The primary sources are official U.S. government channels, which strengthens reliability for the initial action. Media coverage corroborates the January 13 designations but does not indicate additional designations by early February 2026.
Notes on incentives and context: The announcements target disrupting support for terrorism and align with counterterrorism policy goals. The absence of public follow-up designations by mid-February suggests the rollout was still unfolding rather than completed.

Update · Feb 04, 2026, 02:37 PMin_progress
Claim restatement: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Evidence of progress: On January 13, 2026, the State Department designated the Lebanese Muslim Brotherhood as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and a Specially Designated Global Terrorist, and designated the MB leader Muhammad Fawzi Taqqosh as an SDGT. The Treasury concurrently designated the
Egyptian and
Jordanian MB branches as SDGTs for material support to Hamas (State Dept; Treasury, 2026-01-13). The actions were framed as the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort (State Dept press release; Treasury press release, 2026-01-13).
Current status of the promise: The designations issued represent initial steps in an asserted ongoing campaign, but as of February 4, 2026 there is no publicly announced follow-up designation of additional Muslim Brotherhood chapters beyond the actions disclosed on January 13. Public reporting focuses on the January actions and the stated intent to continue using all tools to deprive MB chapters of support for terrorism (State Dept; Treasury, 2026-01-13).
Concrete milestones and dates: January 13, 2026 marked the first designations, with the
Lebanese MB as FTO/SDGT and Egyptian/Jordanian MB branches as SDGTs. The accompanying materials emphasize “an ongoing, sustained effort” with potential future designations (State Dept press release; OFAC/SB0357 press release, 2026-01-13). No additional milestones have been publicly announced by February 4, 2026.
Source reliability note: The briefing comes from U.S. governmental agencies—the Department of State and the Department of the Treasury—providing primary, official documentation of actions and policy framing. Coverage from independent outlets corroborates the basic sequence of events, though wording and emphasis vary by outlet (State Dept; Treasury; corroborating reporting, 2026-01-13).
Conclusion: Given the January 13 disclosures and the stated intent of an ongoing effort, the claim is best categorized as in_progress rather than complete or failed, pending any subsequent announced designations.
Update · Feb 04, 2026, 12:57 PMin_progress
The claim states that the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The initial actions on that date designated three MB chapters and framed them as the opening actions of a broader, sustained effort to curtail MB violence and destabilization, with promises of further designations (Treasury SB0357; State Department press release, 2026-01-13).
Evidence shows that the administration publicly committed to continue using tools to shut off resources for MB chapters and to pursue additional designations as part of this effort (State Department fact sheet; Treasury press release, 2026-01-13). The designations completed on that day thus far constitute progress toward the stated program, but there is no published completion of a comprehensive, final set of MB designations beyond the initial three as of early February 2026.
From the available official sources, the status appears to be: progress made with initial designations implemented, and a stated intention to pursue more in a continuing campaign, but no definitive end-point or completed, broad package announced as finished. The timing and nature of any subsequent designations remain contingent on ongoing assessments and policy decisions, per the accompanying statements (Treasury SB0357; State Department release, 2026-01-13).
Key milestones include the formal designation of three MB chapters on January 13, 2026, and the accompanying statements that more actions would follow as part of a sustained effort (OFAC designation pages and the State Department press release, 2026-01-13). The reliability of these sources is high, as they are official U.S. government communications from Treasury and State Department.
Overall, the claim is best characterized as in_progress: the initial designations have occurred, and the administration asserts that additional designations will follow as part of a continuing effort, but there is no confirmed list or date for completing all targeted MB chapters as of early February 2026 (OFAC; State Department releases, 2026-01-13). Observers should monitor official OFAC action notices and State Department updates for subsequent designations (OFAC recent actions, 2026-01-13).
Update · Feb 04, 2026, 09:08 AMin_progress
What the claim states: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The January 13, 2026 announcements from Treasury and State described the actions as the opening steps in a broader, ongoing effort to curb Muslim Brotherhood violence and destabilization, including through additional designations (State Department and Treasury OFAC release, 2026-01-13). The claim rests on the idea that more designations would follow as part of that sustained effort.
Evidence of progress so far: On January 13, 2026, the U.S. designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters (
Egyptian,
Jordanian, and
Lebanese) as terrorist organizations or SDGTs, with accompanying statements that this marks the first actions of an ongoing campaign (OFAC/State press materials, 2026-01-13). The press releases emphasize coordination between Treasury’s OFAC and the State Department, and reference authorities enabling continued action against designated entities and related financial networks (OFAC designation text, 2026-01-13). Major outlets reported the designations and framed them as the start of a broader campaign rather than a completed program.
Current status of the completion condition: There is no public record by early February 2026 of additional specific Muslim Brotherhood designations beyond the three branches announced on January 13. Official materials frame the action as the beginning of a sustained effort, but subsequent milestones or new designations have not been publicly enumerated in the cited sources (State/Treasury releases, 2026-01-13; corroborating reporting from AP and other outlets, January 2026).
Dates and milestones: The key milestone is January 13, 2026, when the Egyptian, Jordanian, and Lebanese branches were designated. The accompanying language signals continued action, but no concrete follow-up designation date is stated in the immediate announcements. If additional branches or related entities were to be designated, those actions have not been publicly documented as of February 3, 2026 (State/Treasury releases, 2026-01-13).
Source reliability and interpretation: Primary sources are official U.S. government communications (Treasury OFAC and State Department releases), which are appropriate for tracking sanctions actions. The coverage from Reuters-style outlets and AP corroborates the basic facts of the initial designations and the framing of them as opening actions. Taken together, the materials support a cautious interpretation that the effort is ongoing but lacks publicly announced, subsequent milestones as of the current date (State/Treasury, 2026-01-13; AP, 2026-01-13; The Hill, The National, 2026-01-13).

The claim states that the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The initial action designated
Lebanese,
Egyptian, and
Jordanian MB branches, with the State Department framing these as the opening steps of a broader, ongoing effort to curb MB violence and destabilization (State Dept press release, Jan 13, 2026; Treasury press release, Jan 13, 2026).
Evidence so far shows the first tranche of designations occurred on or around January 13, 2026, with the Lebanese MB designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and SDGT, and Egyptian and Jordanian MB branches designated by Treasury for material support to Hamas. State and Treasury framed these actions as the start of a sustained campaign and stressed that additional designations would follow as part of the policy framework established by EO 14362 and related actions (State Dept, SB 0357/OFAC press materials).
As of February 3, 2026, there has been public reporting on the initial designations, but no widely reported, confirmed second or third round of MB chapter designations. Major outlets and official summaries emphasize the ongoing nature of the effort, but concrete milestones or a timeline for subsequent designations have not been publicly published in the cited sources.
Reliability note: The primary evidence comes from official U.S. government releases (State Department press statement, Treasury OFAC release) and corroborating coverage from AP and other outlets. These sources are linearly consistent about the designations being the first actions in a broader campaign, but they do not provide a detailed timetable for future steps. The framing of an ongoing effort appears credible given the stated policy, EO 14362, and the agencies’ public statements.

Claim restatement: The article asserts that the January 13, 2026 announcements signal an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Evidence of progress to date: On January 13, 2026, Treasury OFAC and the State Department designated Muslim Brotherhood chapters as foreign terrorist organizations, framing these actions as opening steps of a sustained effort. The actions align with Executive Order 14362 and related White House statements, establishing a process rather than a final list. Completion status: Public reporting confirms initial designations for three chapters but does not show finalization of a broader slate; the administration describes this as the beginning of a longer campaign. Reliability notes: Official government releases (Treasury, State, White House) are the primary basis, corroborated by AP and other outlets; descriptions emphasize ongoing action rather than a completed program. Follow-up considerations: Monitoring for further designations in the coming months will indicate whether the stated sustained effort materializes into concrete additional targets. If new actions are announced, they should be documented by OFAC, the State Department, or the White House.

Evidence confirms initial designations by Treasury and State, with statements about ongoing future actions, but no publicly announced completion date for further designations as of early February 2026.
Update · Feb 03, 2026, 08:47 PMin_progress
Restated claim: The January 13, 2026 announcements signaled an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that would include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Evidence so far shows an initial action: on January 13, 2026, the Treasury and State Departments designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations, described as the opening actions of a sustained effort. The accompanying statements frame these measures as part of a broader policy to deprive these chapters of resources to support terrorism. No final completion or additional designations beyond the initial three have been publicly announced as of February 3, 2026. Progress indicators: The designated chapters (
Egyptian,
Lebanese, and
Jordanian branches) were formally named on January 13, 2026, with official releases from OFAC and the State Department, and coverage from Reuters and AP corroborates these as the start of ongoing efforts. Current status: The claim that additional designations would follow is supported by the initial action and stated policy, but no public timetable or subsequent designations have been reported as of the current date. Source reliability: Primary sources are the Treasury OFAC SB0357 and the State Department release, with independent verification from Reuters and AP; the reporting aligns with standard designation procedures. Follow-up readiness: Monitor for new designations in subsequent policy cycles or sanctions updates and report them when announced.

Claim restatement: The January 13, 2026 announcements signal an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The designations on that date were described as the opening actions of a broader, sustained effort to counter Muslim Brotherhood violence and destabilization.
Evidence of initial progress: On January 13, 2026, the State and Treasury Departments designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters (in
Egypt,
Lebanon, and
Jordan) as terrorist organizations, with statements framing this as the first actions of a broader effort. Coverage from State, Treasury, and major outlets confirms the designation as the initial step in a sustained policy stance.
Status of the completion condition: There is explicit language that further designations could follow as part of the ongoing effort, but as of early February 2026 there is no public confirmation of additional, subsequent designations having occurred beyond the initial three. The public record shows the promise of more actions rather than a completed, continuous slate at that moment.
Dates and milestones: January 13, 2026 — initial MB designations announced by State and Treasury; January 13, 2026 onward — description of ongoing, sustained effort implying future actions; February 2026 — reporting indicates continued holding without publicly documented new designations. The reliability rests on official statements (State/Treasury) and corroborating reporting from reputable outlets.
Source reliability and notes: Primary sources are official U.S. government releases (State Dept. and Treasury) dated 2026-01-13, which provide the policy framing and the initial designations. Reputable outlets (AP, The Hill) corroborate the move. Given the stated intent of ongoing action, the claim remains plausible but hinges on future designations to meet the completion condition. If additional designations have not materialized by the follow-up date, the status remains in_progress rather than complete.

The claim states that the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The public record confirms an initial set of designations announced on January 13, 2026 by the Department of the Treasury and the Department of State, designating three Muslim Brotherhood branches as terrorist organizations, with messaging that this represented the first actions of a broader, ongoing effort. Evidence shows that on January 13, 2026,
the United States designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations and SDGTs, as reported by Treasury and State Department press materials and corroborated by major outlets. As of early February 2026, there is no publicly verified report of additional Muslim Brotherhood designations beyond the initial three chapters. The broader, ongoing designations roadmap remains announced but without publicly confirmed subsequent actions, suggesting the claim is currently in_progress. The reliability of the sources is high for the initial action, with official agency releases and reputable reporting; ongoing updates should be monitored through Treasury and State Department communications.

The claim states that the announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Public records confirm the January 13, 2026 designations as part of an ongoing effort to counter Muslim Brotherhood violence and destabilization, marking the opening actions of that effort. The designations named three MB chapters (including the
Lebanese branch) and a specific leader, signaling progression but not a completed program. There is no stated completion date or guarantee of further designations beyond the initial actions, so the effort remains in progress.
Update · Feb 03, 2026, 12:49 PMin_progress
What the claim states: The January 13, 2026 Treasury State announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The statement frames these actions as opening moves in a broader campaign to disrupt, financially and operationally constrain, and designate further branches as needed. Publicly available official documents confirm the initial designations of three Muslim Brotherhood chapters and the start of an ongoing effort, but do not show a completed slate of additional designations as of early February 2026 (the current date).
What progress exists: On January 13, 2026, U.S. authorities designated the Lebanese Muslim Brotherhood as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and SDGT, while designations targeting the
Egyptian and
Jordanian chapters were pursued via Treasury SDGT actions for providing support to Hamas. These actions are explicitly described by State and Treasury as the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart Muslim Brotherhood violence and destabilization. Independent reporting from AP and other outlets corroborates the initial designations and the stated intent to continue using available tools to target these groups.
Whether completion has occurred: There is no public record by early February 2026 of additional Muslim Brotherhood designations beyond the three initial chapters announced on January 13, 2026. Multiple reputable sources (State Department press materials, Treasury SB0357, AP coverage) describe the January 13 actions as the opening phase of an ongoing effort, with no milestone indicating completion of a broader designation package. Given the absence of announced subsequent designations by February 3, 2026, the claim’s completion condition—issuance of further designations—has not yet been met publicly.
Dates and milestones: January 13, 2026 marks the initial round of designations (
Lebanese chapter FTO/SDGT; Egyptian and Jordanian chapters SDGT via Treasury). State Department’s press statement and Treasury’s SB0357 release frame this as the opening actions in an ongoing effort. News coverage from AP, HSToday, and others confirms the initiation but does not report new designations by early February 2026. Source reliability is high when citing these official agency statements and established, reputable outlets.
Reliability note: Official government releases (State Department, Treasury) are the primary sources for designation actions; AP and other reputable outlets provide corroboration and context. The absence of additional designations by early February 2026 supports the assessment that the process remains ongoing rather than complete.
Update · Feb 03, 2026, 11:14 AMin_progress
Summary of the claim: The article asserts that the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The initial actions, however, appear to be limited to the three designated branches announced on the same day, with officials signaling that more designations could follow as part of an ongoing effort (not a completed package of all anticipated actions).
Evidence of progress: On January 13, 2026,
the United States designated several Muslim Brotherhood branches as terrorist organizations and SDGTs, with accompanying statements that these actions reflect the first steps of a broader effort to disrupt funding and support for terrorism (OFAC/State press materials). This establishes a concrete milestone—the initial designations and the policy framing.
Current status vs. completion: As of 2026-02-03, there is no publicly available record of further, announced designations beyond the January 13 actions. Multiple outlets reported the initial designations and the stated intent to pursue more, but no additional milestones have been documented in public records reviewed.
Dates and milestones: January 13, 2026 (initial designations of
Egyptian,
Jordanian, and Lebanese Brotherhood branches; OFAC/State actions). The Treasury press release described these as the opening actions in an ongoing effort. No confirmed follow-up designation date has been publicly released since.
Source reliability note: The key assertions come from official U.S. government releases (Treasury/OFAC and State) and corroborating reporting from AP and The Hill. These sources are consistent on the initial action and the stated intent for further designations, but do not show a completed, multi-wave set by the current date.
Bottom line: The claim that ongoing, additional designations are forthcoming remains plausible given the framing, but public records up to 2026-02-03 show only the January 13 initial designations with an open-ended promise of more; a completed, multi-wave designation sequence has not been publicly confirmed.
Update · Feb 03, 2026, 10:27 AMin_progress
The claim states that the announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. On January 13, 2026, the U.S. Treasury and State Departments designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations, explicitly describing these actions as the opening phase of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart these chapters’ violence and destabilization. This establishes a formal, initial step but does not by itself confirm further designations beyond the three chapters announced that day.
Evidence of progress includes the formal designation actions from OFAC (Treasury) in coordination with the State Department, and accompanying statements that emphasize depriving designated chapters of resources to support terrorism. Public reporting from the same day highlights the designated
Egyptian,
Jordanian, and
Lebanese chapters and frames the actions as part of a broader policy to curb the group’s influence. The announcements also reference continued use of “all available tools” to pursue these aims, suggesting a programmatic approach rather than a one-off action.
As of February 2, 2026, there is no independently verifiable public record of additional Muslim Brotherhood designations having occurred since the January 13 announcements. News coverage and official releases emphasize the opening actions and the intent to pursue further designations, but concrete milestones or dates for subsequent actions have not been publicly published in that period. This keeps the claim of ongoing, additional designations unconfirmed for the near term and marks the status as in_progress rather than complete.
Source reliability varies by outlet, but primary sources from the U.S. Treasury and Department of State provide contemporaneous, official confirmation of the initial designations and the stated policy orientation. Coverage from AP and other reputable outlets corroborates the core facts and quotes from officials, contributing to a balanced account of the announcements and their stated aims. Overall, the available evidence supports that an ongoing program was initiated, with the promise of further designations still to be realized.
Update · Feb 02, 2026, 10:48 PMcomplete
The claim states an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The January 13, 2026 announcements frame the action as the first steps of a broader campaign to curtail MB violence and destabilization, signaling an ongoing policy approach rather than a one-off action.
Evidence progress shows concrete steps on the target date: the Treasury Department’s OFAC designated
Egyptian and Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood branches for material support to Hamas and blocked related property under E.O. 13224, marking the initial actions of the sustained effort.
Concurrently, the State Department designated the Lebanese Muslim Brotherhood (al-Jamaa al-Islamiyah) as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and a Specially Designated Global Terrorist, and named its secretary-general as an SDGT. These paired designations reflect cross-agency implementation of the broader policy.
These actions provide measurable milestones that align with the claim of ongoing designations, and the Treasury and State statements indicate that further MB chapters could be targeted as part of the sustained effort.
Reliability note: the sources are official U.S. government releases (Treasury OFAC, State Department), which substantiate the milestones and designation rationale with limited editorial bias.
Update · Feb 02, 2026, 08:41 PMin_progress
The claim asserts that the January 13, 2026 Treasury-State designation signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort to designate Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Official materials show the first wave was framed as the start of an ongoing campaign, with explicit language about further designations (Treasury press release, Jan 13, 2026). Subsequent actions by OFAC on Jan 21, 2026 list MB-linked entities and individuals, indicating continued implementation of the policy. The actions to designate additional MB branches illustrate progress but there is no announced end date, consistent with a continuing policy approach (OFAC Recent Actions, Jan 21, 2026; Treasury Jan 13, 2026). Reliability rests on official government sources (OFAC and Treasury) that document sanctions steps and the policy rationale.
Update · Feb 02, 2026, 07:14 PMin_progress
Restated claim: The January 13, 2026 Treasury/State announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The initial actions designated
Egyptian,
Jordanian (and later
Lebanon) Muslim Brotherhood entities as terrorist organizations, marking the opening actions of that sustained effort (State Department and Treasury OFAC releases, Jan 13, 2026).
What progress exists: On January 13, 2026, the U.S. government announced designations of multiple Muslim Brotherhood chapters (Egyptian, Jordanian, and Lebanon) as SDGTs or terrorist organizations, citing material support to Hamas and the ongoing effort to thwart violence and destabilization. These actions constitute the first concrete steps in the stated ongoing program (official releases).
What remains in progress or uncertain: Since the initial designations, there were no widely reported additional MB designations in the public record through early February 2026, consistent with a continuing process rather than a completed, fixed package. The completion condition—additional designations as part of the sustained effort—had not been fulfilled by that date.
Dates and milestones: January 13, 2026: joint Treasury/State designation of MB chapters (
Egypt,
Jordan, Lebanon) as terrorist entities; framing language emphasizes an ongoing, sustained effort to cut off support and destabilization. No confirmed follow-on designations publicly announced by Feb 2, 2026.
Source reliability note: Core details come from U.S. government sources (Treasury OFAC and State Department releases) and corroborating reporting from AP and other outlets; these are primary official statements about the designations and the stated policy trajectory.
Update · Feb 02, 2026, 04:38 PMin_progress
Restated claim: The Treasury-State rollout announced on January 13, 2026, signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Evidence of progress: On January 13, 2026, the U.S. designated several Muslim Brotherhood chapters (
Egyptian,
Jordanian, and
Lebanese branches) as terrorist entities, with accompanying State Department and Treasury guidance describing these as the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization. The press material frames these as initial steps rather than a completed program.
Assessment of completion status: As of February 2, 2026, there is no public evidence of additional MB-designations having been announced beyond the initial set. Treasury and State messages emphasize ongoing action and the commitment to deploy “all available tools,” but do not report a completed or final set of designations. The claim’s completion condition (additional designations targeting MB chapters) had not been publicly fulfilled by that date.
Dates, milestones, and reliability: The key milestone to watch is any subsequent designation announcements from OFAC/State that expand the MB designation list. Primary sources (Treasury SB0357 press release and State Department designation release) are official, contemporaneous with the claim, and align on the “opening actions” framing. Coverage from additional reputable outlets corroborates the initial actions, but no clear follow-up milestones were published by Feb 2, 2026.
Source reliability and incentives: The cited sources are official U.S. government communications (Treasury and State Department), which are appropriate for tracking sanctions actions. Given the administration’s stated policy of sustained action against MB networks, incentives favor continuing, incremental designations rather than rapid, sweeping conclusions; this supports an in_progress assessment pending new announcements.
Update · Feb 02, 2026, 02:42 PMin_progress
Restatement: The January 13, 2026 Treasury press release designates Muslim Brotherhood branches as terrorist entities and frames this as the first action in an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort to curb MB violence and destabilization, including through additional designations. Evidence of progress: The designation action itself designates
Egyptian,
Jordanian, and
Lebanese MB branches under OFAC with SDGT status; the release explicitly characterizes it as the first action in an ongoing effort. Current status: The initial designations are completed, and the administration signals that more designations will follow as part of the sustained effort, indicating continued activity rather than closure. Timeline: The press release cites actions taken on January 13, 2026, with accompanying statements about ongoing efforts; a January 28, 2026 Federal Register notice reflects subsequent OFAC sanctions actions context, illustrating continued implementation around the same period. Reliability: The sources (Treasury press release and Federal Register notice) are official U.S. government documents describing sanctions actions and policy framing, providing high credibility for the claim about ongoing designations.
Update · Feb 02, 2026, 01:04 PMin_progress
Summary of the claim: The January 13, 2026 Treasury/State designation announcement described an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that would include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The claim rests on the language calling these actions the opening actions of a broader campaign to thwart MB violence and destabilization (and to deprive MB chapters of resources via future designations).
Progress to date: On January 13, 2026, the U.S. government designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations, marking the first concrete step in what officials described as an ongoing effort (State Department and Treasury statements and contemporaneous coverage from AP and other outlets). These actions are presented as opening moves rather than a completed, comprehensive round of designations (State Dept press release; Treasury press release; AP report).
Current status and completion prospects: There has been no public reporting of additional MB designations beyond the initial three as of February 2, 2026. Officials characterized the effort as ongoing, with the potential for further designations, but no firm follow-up milestones or completion date have been announced.
Source reliability and notes: Coverage from the U.S. Treasury and State Department releases is primary and authoritative for the designation actions. Reactions and summaries from AP and policy-focused outlets corroborate the claim that these are initial steps in a broader, ongoing effort. The reporting consistently frames future designations as possible rather than guaranteed, aligning with the stated intent but leaving the timeline uncertain.

Restated claim: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Evidence indicates the initial action occurred on January 13, 2026, when
the United States designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as Foreign Terrorist Organizations. The State Department described these designations as the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart violence and destabilization by Muslim Brotherhood chapters, with the United States prepared to use all available tools to deprive them of resources (State Dept, 2026-01-13). Treasury OFAC also framed the action as part of a broader policy under Executive Order 14362 (Treasury, 2026-01-13).
Update · Feb 02, 2026, 08:53 AMin_progress
The claim states that the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The initial action designated
Egyptian and
Jordanian MB branches as terrorist organizations and described it as the first action in an ongoing effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization, with further designations anticipated. Official sources confirm this framing and designate MB branches as SDGT/FTO, indicating a sustained, multi-agency process rather than a completed end state.
Progress evidence includes the January 13, 2026 OFAC designation of MB chapters and concurrent State Department actions, which block assets and prohibit transactions, establishing mechanisms for future designations. As of February 1, 2026, these actions demonstrate early momentum but no publicly announced follow-up MB designations have been disclosed, placing the status in the early, ongoing phase.
There is no fixed completion date for the broader effort; the administration framed it as ongoing, with the completion condition being further designations that have not yet been publicly announced. Key milestones include the OFAC and State Department designations on January 13, 2026 and related regulatory actions published in official outlets. The reliability of sources is high, drawing from primary U.S. government documents that explicitly state the ongoing nature of the program.
Overall, the claim is currently best characterized as in_progress: the stated policy of ongoing designations is in motion, but the next designations and a defined endpoint have not been publicly confirmed.
Update · Feb 02, 2026, 04:23 AMin_progress
Restated claim: The Treasury press release frames the Jan. 13, 2026 actions as the opening moves in an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort to curb Muslim Brotherhood influence, including through future designations of additional branches. Evidence of progress: The initial designations were announced jointly by the Treasury and State departments, designating three Muslim Brotherhood chapters and signaling an ongoing campaign with tools to deprive these chapters of resources. Evidence of status: As of early February 2026, public statements reiterate the ongoing nature of the effort and the intention to pursue additional designations, but no publicly announced list of further designations had been released. Result and milestones: The January 2026 actions constitute the first milestone; the stated plan to add more designations remains an outstanding next milestone with no fixed completion date.
Incentives and reliability: The designations reflect counterterrorism incentives to disrupt financial and logistical support networks for these groups; official statements emphasize using all tools to undermine support for terrorism. Source reliability: Core claims come from official U.S. government sources (State and Treasury) and corroborating reporting from AP; coverage from policy outlets confirms the sequence and intent but varies on emphasis. Overall, the initial action is well-supported; the ongoing designations are plausible but not yet publicly verified as completed by 2026-02-01.
Notes on completeness: Given public records up to 2026-02-01, the claim of ongoing additional designations is credible but unconfirmed in terms of specific forthcoming targets. Future updates should be tracked via State and Treasury releases and major outlets for any new designations.

This provides a concrete first step, with future designations expected as part of the promised sustained effort.
Update · Feb 01, 2026, 08:18 PMin_progress
Restated claim: The January 13, 2026 Treasury-State announcement signals a continuing, broad
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Evidence of progress: The Treasury press release designates
Egyptian and Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood branches as Specially Designated Global Terrorists for their support to Hamas, and the State Department designates the Lebanese Muslim Brotherhood and its secretary-general, describing these as the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort. The release frames these actions as the first step in a broader program under E.O. 13224 and related authorities (Jan 13, 2026).
Current status: As of the current date, there is public reporting that these initial designations have been issued and framed as part of an ongoing campaign, but no publicly confirmed follow-on designations have been announced in the sources reviewed for this update. Several outlets echoed the administration’s claim of an ongoing, sustained effort, but specifics on additional targets or timelines have not been published widely.
Dates and milestones: Key milestone is the Jan 13, 2026 designation action. The Treasury press release emphasizes that further designations will accompany the ongoing effort, though no concrete future targets or completion dates are published in available materials.
Source reliability and caveats: The primary source is a U.S. Treasury press release (with corroborating summaries from AP, PBS, The Hill, etc.). These are official statements reflecting policy direction; however, they do not provide independent verification of future designations beyond the initial actions described. Given the stated policy nature and lack of a public timeline, treat the claim of ongoing future designations as intended policy rather than a completed package at this time.
Update · Feb 01, 2026, 06:47 PMin_progress
Claim restatement: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The officials asserted this would be an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart Muslim Brotherhood violence and destabilization, including through further designations.
Progress evidence: On January 13, 2026, the U.S. Department of the Treasury, in coordination with the State Department, designated multiple Muslim Brotherhood chapters as foreign terrorist organizations and SDGTs, marking the opening actions of the stated effort (OFAC and State press material; accompanying statements). The State Department press release similarly framed these actions as the opening actions of a sustained campaign (State press release, Jan 13, 2026).
Current status as of 2026-02-01: These announcements represented the initial step of the promised sustained effort. As of the latest public updates available by February 1, 2026, there is no publicly announced additional designation action beyond the January 13 measures, suggesting the process is ongoing but not yet completed with new designations disclosed.
Reliability and incentives: The sources include official U.S. government statements (State Department and Treasury) and reputable coverage noting the designations as the first actions of a broader policy, which aligns with the stated administration approach. Given the officials’ framing of ongoing action, continued reporting should monitor for further designation actions as part of the same policy stream.
Follow-up note: If additional designations are announced, they would indicate progression toward the promised sustained effort. A targeted follow-up date to reassess would be 2026-04-01 to capture any spring announcements or milestones.
Update · Feb 01, 2026, 04:21 PMin_progress
Restated claim: The January 13, 2026 announcements indicate an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The officials tasked with this effort framed the action as the opening step in a longer campaign against Muslim Brotherhood-linked violence and destabilization. In particular, the joint Treasury and State statements describe today’s designations as reflecting the first actions of such a sustained effort.
Progress to date: On January 13, 2026, the U.S. government designated certain Muslim Brotherhood chapters (
Egyptian,
Jordanian, and
Lebanese branches) as Foreign Terrorist Organizations or SDGTs, with accompanying statements from Treasury and State outlining the broader policy framework. The press releases emphasize that these actions are part of an ongoing process and intend to continue with additional designations if warranted. Public reporting confirms the initial designations were implemented and announced on the same day.
Evidence regarding completion vs. ongoing status: As of February 1, 2026, there is no public record of further Muslim Brotherhood designations beyond the initial three branches. U.S. authorities and allied press coverage describe the January 13 actions as the first actions of an ongoing effort, but no subsequent designation announcements have been publicly released. This pattern is consistent with the stated intent to pursue more designations if the policy goals remain unmet or new targets emerge.
Dates and milestones: January 13, 2026 marks the initial milestone—the designation of Egyptian, Jordanian, and Lebanese Muslim Brotherhood branches and related leaders. The Treasury OFAC notice explicitly notes these actions as the starting point of a sustained campaign, but no formal follow-up milestones have been published to date. The absence of additional announcements by early February 2026 suggests ongoing policy work rather than a completed set of designations.
Source reliability note: The claim is grounded in official U.S. government releases from the Department of the Treasury and the Department of State (both dated January 13, 2026), which are primary sources for designation actions. Reputable outlets citing those releases corroborate the milestone but have not, as of early February 2026, reported further designations. Overall, the sources are appropriate for assessing the stated policy trajectory, though they do not show a completed, multi-step designation sequence beyond the initial actions.
Update · Feb 01, 2026, 02:29 PMin_progress
What the claim states: the January 13, 2026 Treasury/State announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Progress to date: on January 13, 2026, the Departments designated three Muslim Brotherhood branches (
Egypt,
Jordan,
Lebanon) with designations targeting their support to Hamas, and described this as the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort. The Treasury/OFAC actions accompanied State Department designations of the
Lebanese MB as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and SDGT, with the Treasury designation highlighting the start of broader counterterrorism sanctions.
Current status and trajectory: as of February 1, 2026, there is explicit language framing this as the first actions in a sustained effort and an intent to pursue additional designations. I found no public evidence of further designated MB chapters announced between January 13 and February 1, 2026. The stated policy posture remains: use all tools to deprive MB chapters of resources and pursue additional actions if the effort continues.
Evidence and reliability: primary sources are the Treasury press release SB0357 and the State Department press statement from January 13, 2026, which collectively confirm the initial designations and the stated ongoing-ahead commitment. Reputable outlets corroborate the scope and nature of the actions, though they reiterate the initial steps rather than reporting subsequent designations.
Update · Feb 01, 2026, 12:40 PMin_progress
Claim restatement: The article asserts that the announced actions signal an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. It implies a continuing process beyond the initial designations.
Evidence of progress made: On January 13, 2026, the State Department announced the designation of the Lebanese Muslim Brotherhood as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and a Specially Designated Global Terrorist, with its leader designated as an SDGT. Concurrently, the Treasury designated the
Egyptian and Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood chapters as SDGTs for providing material support to Hamas. These actions constitute the opening actions of the stated sustained effort, as described by the agencies.
Current status of completing the promise: There is no public confirmation by February 1, 2026, of additional Muslim Brotherhood-designations beyond the initial three chapters. Public statements describe an ongoing, sustained effort, but no further milestones or completion announcements have been reported in the sources reviewed.
Dates and milestones: January 13, 2026 marks the key milestone with the initial designations and the stated intention of continuing action through additional designations. The White House and initial notices frame this as the opening actions of a broader effort, but no subsequent completion or expansion dates are publicly documented as of now.
Source reliability and caveats: The core information comes from official U.S. government statements (State Department press release, Treasury SB0357) and independent reporting (AP). These sources are consistent in describing initial designations and the stated ongoing nature of the policy. It remains to be seen whether future designations will materialize and on what timeline.
Follow-up note: Given the stated ongoing nature of the effort, a follow-up check on or around 2026-06-01 to confirm any additional designations would be prudent to assess whether the completion condition progresses.

Claim restatement: The January 13, 2026 Treasury/State announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Evidence of progress: On January 13, 2026, the U.S. designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters (
Egyptian,
Lebanese,
Jordanian) as global terrorists, representing the opening actions of the stated sustained effort. The Treasury OFAC and State Department releases explicitly frame these actions as part of an ongoing strategy to curb these chapters’ support for terrorism. Reuters, AP, and official releases corroborate this first batch of designations (Jan 13, 2026).
Evidence of ongoing status: The public record as of February 1, 2026 shows these three designations completed, with the administrations signaling future use of additional tools to target MB chapters. The claim’s phrasing about “additional terrorist designations” remains unverified in terms of a second set of designations by that date, suggesting the process is still underway rather than concluded.
Dates and milestones: The press releases date the first actions to January 13, 2026, with follow-on messaging indicating an ongoing program. The White House/EO framework (Nov 2025) authorized designation processes, and the January 13 announcements operationalized that policy by designating three chapters. These milestones align with the promised sustained effort, though further steps beyond January have not been publicly enumerated by February 1, 2026.
Source reliability and caveats: Sources include the U.S. Department of the Treasury (OFAC), the U.S. Department of State, and major outlets (Reuters, AP). These are primary officials and reputable outlets for terrorism designations. It remains important to monitor for any additional designations or policy updates that would satisfy the ongoing-designations promise.
Follow-up note: Given the stated aim of ongoing designations, a targeted follow-up should occur by 2026-04-01 to confirm any newly designated MB chapters or policy expansions beyond the initial three. This date can be adjusted when new official announcements appear.
Update · Feb 01, 2026, 09:14 AMin_progress
Restatement of claim: The administration signaled an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that would include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The January 13, 2026 actions publicly designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters and described them as the opening actions of a broader, ongoing effort to disrupt such organizations.
Progress evidence: United States Treasury and State Department press materials on January 13, 2026 announced the initial designations of three Muslim Brotherhood chapters and framed them as the start of an ongoing campaign. The agencies described these as opening actions within a broader effort to deprive such chapters of resources to support violence or destabilization.
Assessment of completion status: By January 31, 2026 there was no public record of additional Muslim Brotherhood designations having occurred since the initial three designations. The agencies and accompanying statements emphasized that more designations could follow, but the completion condition (additional designations as part of the sustained effort) had not yet been fulfilled as of the current date.
Dates and milestones: Key milestone is the January 13, 2026 designation announcement. The language repeatedly framed the action as the first step in an ongoing process, with no confirmed later designation date by January 31, 2026. Media coverage from AP and policy outlets echoed that framing and highlighted it as the opening actions of a sustained campaign.
Source reliability note: Primary sources are official U.S. government statements (Treasury SB0357, State Department designation release) dated January 13, 2026, which are authoritative for these actions. Secondary reporting from AP corroborates the framing but should be cross-checked for any subsequent designations after January 2026.
Update · Feb 01, 2026, 04:18 AMin_progress
Claim restatement: The article announces an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort to designate Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorists, signaling more designations to come. Evidence of progress: On January 13, 2026, the U.S. State Department and Treasury issued joint designations designating three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations, described as the opening actions of a broader effort. Additional designations have not been publicly announced by January 31, 2026, and there is no published completion date. The claim remains plausible but unverified in terms of further concrete milestones beyond the initial designations.
What happened (who/what/when): The State Department and Treasury released formal actions on 2026-01-13 designating three MB chapters as terrorists, accompanied by statements about an ongoing, sustained effort to counter MB violence and destabilization (the designations were described as opening actions). The public record through January 31, 2026 does not show additional, announced designations beyond those initial three.
Progress vs. promise: The initial designations satisfy the claim’s immediate trigger (opening actions of a sustained effort). However, there is no public notice of subsequent specific designations or a timeline, so the claim of ongoing, sustained additional designations remains unverified in terms of concrete, announced milestones to date. The reliability of sources (State Department, Treasury) supports the existence of the stated effort, but it does not confirm a near-term completion.
Dates and milestones: 2026-01-13: initial three MB chapters designated as terrorist organizations by State and Treasury. No additional milestones publicly documented by 2026-01-31. The press releases emphasize ongoing actions but do not provide a timetable for future designations. The absence of further announcements suggests progress is ongoing but not finished.
Source reliability and notes: Primary sources are official U.S. government statements (State Department and the Treasury), which are authoritative for designation actions. Coverage from multiple reputable outlets corroborates the initial designations and framing of an ongoing effort; however, some outlets offer broader interpretation without new concrete milestones. Given the incentives of the agencies to emphasize ongoing enforcement, readers should treat subsequent designations as contingent on further decisions not yet publicly disclosed.

Restatement of the claim: The January 13, 2026 announcements signal an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The press releases describe the actions as the opening moves of a broader effort to thwart Muslim Brotherhood violence and destabilization.
Evidence of progress: On January 13, 2026, the Department of the Treasury and the Department of the State designated three Muslim Brotherhood branches as terrorist organizations, marking the first actions of the stated sustained effort (Treasury press release, 2026-01-13; State Department press release, 2026-01-13).
Evidence of status: The contemporaneous messaging from Treasury and State emphasizes an ongoing, open-ended campaign with additional designations to follow, but no further designations had been announced by the end of January 2026 (Treasury and State releases, 2026-01-13).
Milestones and timeline: The initial designations occurred on January 13, 2026, with official statements underscoring the intention to deprive designated chapters of resources and to signal the start of a multi-stage effort (State Dept fact sheet; Treasury press release, 2026-01-13).
Reliability and incentives: Coverage from Treasury/State official releases and corroborating reporting from AP and other outlets supports that this was the initial step in an ongoing policy stance, though outlets differ in emphasis on future targets and scope. The messaging aligns with U.S. policy incentives to deter designated terrorist activity and disrupt networks (State Dept; Treasury; AP, 2026-01-13).
Update · Feb 01, 2026, 12:27 AMin_progress
The claim states that the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Public records show the designations of three MB branches were announced as the first actions, with officials framing this as the opening move in an ongoing, sustained effort to curb MB-linked violence and destabilization. These actions are presented as part of a broader policy direction rather than a one-off measure.
Evidence of progress includes the formal designation of MB chapters in
Egypt,
Jordan, and
Lebanon announced on January 13, 2026, coordinated between Treasury and State. The Treasury press release states that the actions reflect the first actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization, including through additional terrorist designations. The State Department press release mirrors this framing, labeling the MB branches as Foreign Terrorist Organizations/SDGT and underscoring an ongoing, sustained effort.
As of January 31, 2026, there is no public record of subsequent MB designations beyond the initial trio. Both agencies emphasize that these are opening actions, with the stated expectation that more designations could follow as part of the sustained effort. The completion condition—additional MB designations as part of the ongoing effort—has not yet been fulfilled according to public statements to date.
Source material comes from primary U.S. government sources (Treasury OFAC and State Department) with corroboration in reputable outlets, supporting a balanced, fact-based assessment of the stated ongoing process and its incentives.
Update · Jan 31, 2026, 10:18 PMin_progress
Restatement of claim: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Supporting evidence shows the January 13, 2026 joint Treasury and State designations of three Muslim Brotherhood branches, described as the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart Brotherhood violence and destabilization. The initial actions are framed as laying the groundwork for future measures as part of a broader campaign.
Evidence of progress: On January 13, 2026, the U.S. Treasury and Department of State publicly designated three Muslim Brotherhood branches (
Lebanese,
Jordanian, and
Egyptian) as designated terrorist organizations or providing material support to designated entities. The agencies stated these designations reflect opening actions of a sustained effort and that the U.S. will use all available tools to deprive these chapters of resources. Multiple U.S. and international outlets reported the announcements, including official press releases and department statements.
Assessment of completion status: As of 2026-01-31, there is no public record of additional Muslim Brotherhood designations beyond the initial three branches. While the administration signaled an ongoing, sustained effort, the completion condition—issuance of further designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters—has not yet been met according to available official statements and subsequent reporting. The absence of follow-up designations within this timeframe suggests the effort remains in_progress rather than completed.
Dates and milestones: Key milestone is the January 13, 2026 designation announcements by Treasury and State. The claimed ongoing effort and potential for more designations are stated, but concrete subsequent actions or dates for additional designations have not been publicly disclosed. Reliability note: sources comprise official agency press releases (Treasury, State) and corroborating reporting from major outlets; these are primary, authoritative references for this policy action, though they have not yet documented further designations.
Source reliability and incentives: Official U.S. government sources provide the canonical record of the initial actions and intent to continue designations. The outlets cited emphasize national security objectives and resource deprivation for designated groups, with the incentive structure vested in leveraging sanctions to curb alleged terrorist activity. Given the government stance, readers should consider the political/foreign-policy context and ongoing policy rollout when interpreting progress.

Restated claim: The January 13, 2026 Treasury/State announcement signaled an ongoing, sustained
US effort that would include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Evidence of progress: On January 13, 2026, the U.S. Treasury and State Departments announced the designation of three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as foreign terrorist organizations, with statements that these designations represent the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart MB chapters’ violence and destabilization.
Current status: The initial designations were completed, framing the effort as ongoing, but there is no public record by January 31, 2026 of further MB designations beyond the three named chapters in the released materials. The announcements describe future actions as part of a continuing program.
Milestones and dates: The core milestones are the Jan 13, 2026 Treasury OFAC designation and corresponding State Department press materials, which describe the actions as the first step in a broader ongoing effort to undermine MB chapters that support terror.
Source reliability and caveats: Primary sources are official
U.S. government agencies (State Department, Treasury) and corroborating reporting from major outlets (AP, The Hill). The claim of ongoing future designations remains contingent on subsequent official actions not yet publicly disclosed as of late January 2026.
Update · Jan 31, 2026, 06:42 PMin_progress
Restated claim: The January 13, 2026 Treasury/State announcement signaled an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that would include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Progress evidence: The actions designated three MB branches (
Lebanese,
Jordanian,
Egyptian) and an MB leader under SDGT/FTO authorities, described as the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization (State Department press release; Treasury OFAC designation) dated January 13, 2026.
Current status of the promise: As of 2026-01-31, there were no publicly reported subsequent MB designations beyond the initial three MB branches and one MB leader; no announced completion date or finalized list of future targets has been provided in the sources examined.
Milestones and dates: Key milestones include the State Department designation of the Lebanese MB as an FTO/SDGT and Treasury designation of the Egyptian and Jordanian MB branches as SDGTs, all announced on January 13, 2026. The press materials frame these as the first actions of a broader, ongoing campaign rather than a completed package.
Source reliability and neutrality: The core information comes from official U.S. government sources (Treasury OFAC press release and State Department press statement) and is corroborated by major outlets (AP). These sources are standard, non-partisan government communications for sanctions policy, though coverage reflects the administration’s framing of the actions as opening moves in a longer effort.
Update · Jan 31, 2026, 04:18 PMin_progress
The claim states that the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The administration framed the action as the opening move in a broader campaign to disrupt MB chapters’ support for terrorism, with the Department of Treasury and Department of State coordinating on designations.
Evidence of progress includes the January 13, 2026 designations of MB chapters by the Treasury Department (SDGT designations) and corresponding State Department actions designating MB branches as Foreign Terrorist Organizations and SDGT. Officials described these as the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort and indicated that additional designations could follow.
As of January 31, 2026, there is no publicly available completion report confirming a final set of additional MB designations. The administrations’ statements emphasize an ongoing process rather than a completed package of actions, with no specified timeline for future designations. Source materials from Treasury and State provide the framework for future steps and reiterate the incentive to continue targeting MB chapters.
Update · Jan 31, 2026, 02:19 PMin_progress
What the claim states: The January 13, 2026 Treasury press release signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort to curb Muslim Brotherhood activity, including the prospect of additional terrorist designations targeting MB chapters. The document explicitly describes designations as the first actions in an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization, with the intention of pursuing more designations as part of that effort.
Progress evidence to date: The SB0357 release confirms initial MB designations for
Egyptian and
Jordanian branches (designated as Specially Designated Global Terrorists for their support to Hamas) and, in coordination with the State Department, designations related to the
Lebanese MB (including its secretary general). The press release frames these actions as the first actions of a broader, ongoing program. These actions align with E.O. 13224 authorities and the administration’s stated policy framework.
Current status of the promised designations: As of January 31, 2026, there is no public record of new MB chapters being designated beyond those announced on January 13, 2026. Subsequent Treasury-related actions (e.g., other sanctions announcements) occurred in late January 2026 but do not appear to add new MB branches in that window. The release signals intent for additional designations, but concrete, publicly documented MB targets were not reported in the period reviewed.
Dates and milestones: Key milestones include (1) January 13, 2026 — OFAC designation of MB Egyptian and Jordanian branches and related Lebanese MB actions; (2) subsequent Treasury and State Department public communications reinforcing the ongoing nature of the effort. No narrower completion date or milestone for additional MB designations was published in the sources available for this check.
Source reliability and incentives: The principal source is the U.S. Department of the Treasury press release (SB0357), issued in coordination with the State Department, which is an official, primary source for sanctions actions. The release frames the action as the beginning of a sustained policy and emphasizes disrupting MB funding networks. Given the official nature of the document, the reliability is high for statements about policy intent and actions announced up to that date. Any assessment should monitor for subsequent designation announcements from OFAC or State Department to confirm new targets and milestones.
Update · Jan 31, 2026, 12:35 PMin_progress
Summary of claim and status: The claim states that the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Public records show initial actions designating three MB branches, framed as the opening of an ongoing campaign to thwart MB violence and destabilization, with promise of further designations.
Progress and milestones: On January 13, 2026, the State Department designated the
Lebanese MB as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and a Specially Designated Global Terrorist, and designated MB leader Muhammad Fawzi Taqqosh as an SDGT. The Treasury then designated the
Egyptian and
Jordanian MB branches as SDGTs for providing material support to Hamas. These actions are described as the first actions in a sustained effort, implying more designations could follow.
Current status and likelihood of completion: As of late January 2026, three MB branches have been designated; no additional MB designations have been publicly announced beyond those three. Agencies describe the steps as the start of an ongoing effort, not a completed program, leaving future actions possible but not guaranteed.
Reliability and context of sources: The core details come from official statements by the State Department and Treasury (press releases), corroborated by reputable outlets like AP News. The materials consistently frame the actions as the opening actions of a broader campaign, with emphasis on ongoing tools and possible future steps.
Notes on incentives and policy context: The actions reflect a policy objective to disrupt MB-associated terrorism funding and support, leveraging Executive Order 14362. Additional designations would likely be driven by assessments of MB chapters’ activities and their links to Hamas, with sanctions potentially expanding to other branches if warranted.
Update · Jan 31, 2026, 10:54 AMin_progress
Restatement of the claim: The January 13, 2026 announcements signaled an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that would include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The departments stated this was the opening action of an ongoing campaign to thwart MB violence and destabilization, with the expectation of further designations to follow (State Dept., Treasury OFAC press release).
Evidence of progress to date: On January 13, 2026, the U.S. designated the
Lebanese MB as an FTO/SDGT and the
Egyptian and Jordanian MB as SDGTs, marking the first step in the stated sustained effort (State Dept. press release; Treasury OFAC press release). These actions were framed as the initial measures in a broader, continuing effort, not as a final set of designations.
Evidence on whether the promise was completed or remains in progress: As of January 31, 2026, no additional Muslim Brotherhood chapters had been publicly designated beyond the Lebanese, Egyptian, and
Jordanian branches announced on January 13. Other related U.S. actions (e.g., sanctions related to Hamas funding networks) occurred in January (e.g., January 21), but they did not announce new MB chapter designations. This supports a status of ongoing activity rather than a closed, completed bundle of MB designations.
Dates, milestones, and source reliability: Key milestones include the January 13, 2026 designations and the State Department reiteration that this is the opening action of a sustained effort (State Dept.; OFAC press release). The sources are official U.S. government communications and are considered high reliability for policy actions, though they do not indicate a specific future completion date for additional MB designations.
Source reliability note: The primary materials are from the U.S. Department of the Treasury (OFAC) and the U.S. Department of State, both authoritative on sanctions and designations; cross-checks with contemporaneous State Department statements reinforce the framing of an ongoing process rather than a concluded batch of actions.
Update · Jan 31, 2026, 09:15 AMin_progress
Restated claim: The January 13, 2026 Treasury-State announcement described an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that would include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Progress evidence: The January 13, 2026 OFAC designation of the
Egyptian and
Jordanian MB branches for material support to Hamas marks the initial actions of the stated sustained effort. The concurrent State Department release frames these actions as the first in an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization.
Current status: Public reporting confirms the initial designations, but as of 2026-01-30 there is limited public evidence of further MB branch designations beyond those announced on January 13, suggesting ongoing implementation and potential future steps rather than a completed program.
Milestones and dates: The key milestone is the January 13, 2026 designation actions; there are no publicly announced completion milestones or dates for additional designations as of 2026-01-30.
Source reliability: The sources are official U.S. government communications (OFAC and State Department) and corroborating reporting; they are authoritative for sanctions actions, though future steps depend on policy decisions and may be announced later.
Follow-up: Monitor subsequent Treasury OFAC actions and State Department statements for additional MB designations and any formal completion notes.
Update · Jan 31, 2026, 04:57 AMin_progress
The claim mirrors the Treasury press release, which states the actions announced on January 13, 2026 are the first steps of an ongoing, sustained effort to curb Muslim Brotherhood activity and that additional designations may follow. These initial actions designated MB branches and are framed as opening moves in a broader policy campaign rather than a completed package of sanctions. Official sources describe future actions as likely, but as of 2026-01-30 no further MB designations had been publicly released. The evidence thus indicates progress on the stated path, yet completion is not achieved yet.
Update · Jan 31, 2026, 03:24 AMin_progress
Restated claim: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Progress evidence: On January 13, 2026, the State Department and Treasury announced the initial designations of three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as foreign terrorist organizations, describing these actions as the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart violence and destabilization. The press materials frame future designations as part of the same sustained effort (Executive Order 14362 referenced in Treasury release). Major outlets and official sources confirm these were the first actions, with no public reporting of further designations by January 30, 2026.
Current status: As of 2026-01-30, there is no publicly verified evidence of additional Muslim Brotherhood chapter designations beyond the initial three. Officials characterized the actions as the first in a continuing program, but concrete milestones or completion dates for subsequent designations have not been publicly published.
Dates and milestones: The triggering date for the announcement and initial designations is January 13, 2026. The absence of announced follow-up designations by January 30, 2026 suggests progress is underway but incomplete at this snapshot, pending further actions and announcements from State/Treasury.
Source reliability note: The cited materials come from U.S. government agencies (State Department, Department of the Treasury) and corroborating reporting from AP and policy-focused outlets. Official press releases provide primary, verifiable details about designation actions and stated policy intentions; cross-checks with independent reporting support context, though timing and scope of subsequent actions remain to be confirmed.
Follow-up: A refreshed update should be sought around 2026-02-28 to confirm whether additional designations have occurred or been announced, and to assess any changed or clarified policy milestones.
Update · Jan 31, 2026, 01:25 AMin_progress
Restated claim: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Evidence so far shows an initial set of designations announced January 13, 2026, designating three MB chapters as terrorist organizations and SDGTs, described by officials as the opening actions of a broader effort to curb MB violence and destabilization.
The administration framed these actions as the start of a sustained campaign, with statements that further MB designations would follow under the policy framework established by Executive Order and related authorities.
As of January 30, 2026, no additional MB designations beyond the January 13 announcements have been publicly disclosed by Treasury or State.
Official sources tying the claim to a sustained effort include the Treasury press release SB-0357 and the State Department release dated January 13, 2026.
Reliability note: The claim reflects the administrations’ stated intent and the initial actions; ongoing progress depends on confirmatory announcements from OFAC/State in the weeks ahead.

Claim restated: The January 13, 2026 Treasury/State announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The initial action designated three branches as terrorist organizations and framed future designations as part of a continuing effort. Evidence of progress: official statements describe the January 13 actions as the opening steps of a broader campaign, with subsequent coverage confirming the three designations and the stated intent of additional actions. Completion status: as of January 30, 2026, no additional Muslim Brotherhood designations had been publicly announced beyond the initial three, so the claim remains in_progress. Key dates/milestones: January 13, 2026 — designation of
Egyptian,
Jordanian, and

Claim restatement: The announcement signaled an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that would include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Evidence from official releases confirms the initial designations on January 13, 2026 as part of a broader policy to curb MB support for terrorism, framed as opening actions of a continuing campaign (State Dept. press release; SB-0357).
Update · Jan 30, 2026, 07:11 PMin_progress
Restated claim: The January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The claim frames the action as the opening step in a broader, continuing campaign rather than a one-off sanction.
Evidence of progress: The Day 1 actions designate MB chapters (
Lebanese MB as Foreign Terrorist Organization and SDGT;
Egyptian and Jordanian MB as SDGTs for Hamas support), with Treasury and State stressing these are the initial steps of an ongoing effort. Official materials state
the United States will use all tools to deprive MB chapters of resources for terrorism, corroborated by the Treasury OFAC press release and the State Department fact sheet.
Current status: The announcements describe an ongoing, sustained campaign rather than a completed package, with no fixed end date provided. The language emphasizes future designations as part of the broader policy, which aligns with the claim of an open-ended effort.
Milestones and dates: January 13, 2026 marked the first actions in the sustained effort. Subsequent materials note this is the opening phase of ongoing actions, without a defined completion date. See the SB0357 Treasury release and the State Department designations for details.
Reliability and incentives: Primary sources are U.S. government agencies (Treasury OFAC and State). The stated incentives are to disrupt terrorist financing and the operations of MB chapters, consistent with counterterrorism policy and sanctions authorities. The materials present a multi-agency, policy-driven approach intended to continue with further designations.
Notes on completeness: Given the explicit framing of ongoing actions and the absence of a fixed completion date, the status is best described as in_progress rather than complete or failed.
Update · Jan 30, 2026, 04:29 PMin_progress
Claim restatement: The Treasury press release on January 13, 2026 characterizes a sustained
U.S. effort that would include additional terrorist designations of Muslim Brotherhood chapters beyond the initial actions. It asserts these designations are the opening actions of a broader campaign to curb Brotherhood violence and destabilization wherever it occurs. The State Department follow-up reinforces the same framing, describing the initial designations as part of an ongoing, sustained effort.
Progress evidence: On January 13, 2026, the State Department and the Treasury Department announced designations of three Muslim Brotherhood chapters (
Egypt,
Lebanon,
Jordan) as terrorist organizations, along with designated leaders and associated entities. These actions constitute the first wave of what officials described as an ongoing effort and the potential for further designations. Contemporary coverage from AP and other outlets corroborates that these were announced as initial steps, not a final wave of measures.
Current status: As of January 30, 2026, there are no publicly reported additional Muslim Brotherhood designations beyond the January 13 tranche. Multiple public sources describe the January 13 actions as the opening actions of an ongoing effort, but do not indicate immediate follow-up designations completed by that date. The absence of announced further designations suggests the policy process remains in early stages, with potential future actions depending on evidentiary and policy considerations.
Evidence quality and reliability: Primary sources include official statements from the U.S. State Department and the Treasury Department, which are appropriate for tracking policy moves. Reputable outlets corroborate the designation announcements and framing as initial steps. Some analysis from think tanks reflects on policy intent but should be weighed against the official source material.
Notes on incentives: The stated designations align with U.S. allied priorities in the region and domestic sanctions policy, aiming to disrupt financial networks and operational capacities of designated groups. Future designations would likely reflect ongoing assessments of threat, regional diplomacy pressures, and internal political considerations within allied states. Given the current public record, the incentive structure supports continued, incremental action rather than an abrupt, comprehensive declaration campaign.
Follow-up plan: Monitor State and Treasury announcements for any additional designations or related sanctions updates. A focused follow-up around 2026-07-01 is suggested to determine whether the administration has proceeded with further designations as promised.
Update · Jan 30, 2026, 02:36 PMin_progress
Summary of the claim: The January 13, 2026 Treasury-State announcement states that the Muslim Brotherhood designations are the first actions of an ongoing, sustained effort, with the expectation that additional designations will follow. The article explicitly characterizes these steps as part of a broader, continuing campaign rather than a one-off action.
Progress evidence: The Treasury press release (SB0357) and the State Department release on January 13, 2026 designate
Egyptian,
Jordanian, and
Lebanese Muslim Brotherhood branches as terrorist organizations, describing these as the first actions of an ongoing effort and indicating additional designations would occur as part of the sustained policy. These are the clearest public signals of intent and initial milestones associated with the claim.
Current status: As of January 30, 2026, there have not been public reports of additional Muslim Brotherhood designations beyond the January 13 actions. The administration’s stated framework emphasizes ongoing action, but concrete subsequent designations have not been publicly announced in the interim period.
Source reliability and incentives: The citations from the U.S. Treasury (OFAC) and the U.S. Department of State are official, primary sources and consistent in framing the steps as part of an ongoing effort. Given the weight of these agencies, the claim that more designations were anticipated remains plausible, though not yet verified by additional actions by the stated date.

The claim asserts that the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Public records show the initial action: the designation of three Muslim Brotherhood chapters by Treasury OFAC and the State Department on that date. Coverage frames these as opening actions within a broader, continuing campaign to curb the Brotherhood’s influence and to deprive chapters of resources for terrorism. The evidence supports the existence of an initial, ongoing effort, but as of the current date there is no official completion date or confirmed list of future designations.

Evidence of progress: On January 13, 2026, the Treasury and State Departments designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorists, marking the initial actions of the administration’s sustained effort (OFAC press release and State Department release). This establishes a start to the planned program and indicates the tool will be used further going forward.
Status of completion: There is no public record by January 30, 2026 of additional designations beyond the initial three branches. Official materials describe this as the opening actions of an ongoing effort, not a completed program, so the completion condition remains incomplete as of the date analyzed.
Dates and milestones: January 13, 2026 is the key milestone—the first designations under Executive Order 14362. The materials emphasize that more designations would follow, but no further milestones were publicly announced by January 30, 2026.
Source reliability and note: Primary confirmations come from U.S. Treasury OFAC and State Department releases on January 13, 2026, which are official government sources. Coverage from credible outlets corroborates the initial designations, but there is no evidence of additional actions beyond the three branches as of the date in question.

The claim states that the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The Treasury and State Department releases frame the action as the opening phase of an ongoing, sustained effort to curb Muslim Brotherhood violence and destabilization, and to deprive chapters of resources for terrorism (Treasury SB0357; State Dept release Jan 13, 2026).
Evidence of progress shows the first concrete step: designation of three Muslim Brotherhood chapters under executive and statutory authorities, announced on January 13, 2026. These actions are presented as the initial actions of a broader campaign, with the departments indicating that all available tools will be used against these chapters (Treasury SB0357; State Dept release).
There is clear indication that additional designations were anticipated, consistent with the stated intention of a sustained effort. However, as of January 29, 2026, no public announcements have confirmed further specific designations beyond the initial three (AP, Hill coverage; official releases cited). This aligns with the idea of ongoing work rather than a completed, finished process.
Dates and milestones so far are limited to the January 13, 2026 designation event and the framing language about an ongoing campaign; no firm timetable for subsequent designations has been published. The reliability of sources—official U.S. government releases and reputable outlets—supports that the action is real and issued at the outset of a broader policy push, not a completed program.
Overall, the claim is best categorized as in_progress: the administration has begun the sustained effort with initial designations, and while more designations have been promised, they have not yet been publicly confirmed by January 29, 2026. The incentive structure of the issuing agencies supports a broad, continuing campaign against designated chapters, though concrete next steps remain to be announced.
Update · Jan 30, 2026, 04:48 AMin_progress
Claim restatement: The announcement signals an ongoing
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Evidence so far shows January 13, 2026 actions designating MB chapters in
Lebanon (State) and in
Egypt and
Jordan (Treasury) as terrorists and framing these as opening actions of a sustained campaign. As of 2026-01-29, no publicly disclosed follow-on designations have been announced, so the completion condition has not yet been met. The reliability of the official statements is high for the initial actions, but they provide limited detail on concrete milestones for future designations.
Update · Jan 30, 2026, 02:45 AMin_progress
What the claim says: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The initial action, issued January 13, 2026, designates Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorists as part of this broader effort. The claim rests on the promise of further designations to follow as part of the sustained policy.
Progress to date: On January 13, 2026, Treasury’s OFAC and the State Department announced the first designations of Muslim Brotherhood chapters, describing them as opening actions in an ongoing, sustained effort to disrupt violence and destabilization linked to these groups (Treasury SB0357; State Department release). This marks the tangible step described in the announcement, with coordination between agencies and standard designation procedures.
Current status and milestones: There is evidence of at least these initial designations, but publicly available reporting up to January 29, 2026 does not show additional named MB chapter designations beyond the three branches noted in initial announcements. The policy framing remains that more designations could follow as part of the sustained effort (as indicated in the January 13 releases).
Source reliability and incentives: Primary information comes from the U.S. Treasury and State Department, official government sources; their framing emphasizes a long-running, tool-based campaign against MB chapters. No competing or independent evidence challenges the designation actions, but the public record so far indicates ongoing intent without publicly disclosed subsequent milestones or dates. If future actions occur, they would be best tracked via OFAC and State Department updates (official press releases).
Update · Jan 30, 2026, 01:10 AMin_progress
What the claim states: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The initial action on January 13, 2026 designated multiple MB chapters and framed this as the start of a broader ongoing effort (State Dept. and Treasury releases, Jan 13, 2026).
Progress to date: Three MB chapters were designated as terrorist organizations on January 13, 2026, with the actions described as the first tranche of an ongoing campaign (State Dept., Treasury SB0357; OFAC listing).
Current completion status: No publicly documented follow-on MB designations have been announced publicly as of Jan 29, 2026; officials describe future designations as forthcoming within an ongoing effort (State/Treasury statements).
Milestones and dates: Key milestones include the Jan 13, 2026 designations by State and Treasury and the corresponding OFAC designation entry, accompanied by fact sheets and press materials describing an ongoing program.
Source reliability and incentives: Official government releases from State and Treasury are the central sources, with independent coverage largely summarizing those disclosures. The stated incentives are to disrupt MB resources and capabilities consistent with U.S. national security objectives.
Update · Jan 29, 2026, 11:20 PMin_progress
Restated claim: The January 13, 2026 Treasury/State announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The press release itself frames the action as the first steps of an ongoing, sustained campaign to curb MB violence and destabilization, with explicit language about future designations (OFAC and State). The claim therefore rests on the stated intent rather than a completed, closed set of actions.
Evidence of progress: On January 13, 2026, the
Departments designated MB chapters in
Lebanon (FTO/SDGT) and designated
Egyptian and Jordanian MB as SDGTs for providing material support to Hamas (State/OFAC joint action). Subsequent reporting confirms ongoing designation activity in the same window, including additional MB-related sanctions announced by Treasury (e.g., SDGT listings for MB branches). These actions constitute the first wave of the sustained effort referenced in the announcements.
Current status of the promise: The initial wave designates several MB chapters and leadership, signaling concrete progress toward the stated sustained effort. There is no publicly announced end date or final list of all chapters targeted, consistent with an ongoing process. Based on available evidence through late January 2026, multiple MB branches have already been designated, indicating progress toward the promised ongoing effort but not a final completion.
Dates and milestones: January 13, 2026 – State and Treasury designate MB branches in Lebanon,
Egypt, and
Jordan and signal ongoing action. Subsequent reporting in late January 2026 notes continued sanctions activity related to MB networks (SDGT designations). The milestone pattern supports a continuing program rather than a one-off designation.
Source reliability note: The citations come from U.S. Treasury and State Department press releases, supplemented by contemporaneous coverage from reputable outlets summarizing official actions. These official sources directly state the policy intent and designate specific MB chapters, making the reported milestones clear and verifiable. The relaxing of mystique around “ongoing” actions is supported by the repeated designations within days of the initial announcement.
Follow-up: To assess whether the sustained effort broadens to additional MB chapters, a focused review around 2026-02-28 and then quarterly thereafter would be appropriate. A follow-up date of 2026-02-28 is recommended to confirm whether new MB branches are designated and to track any policy shifts in designations or related authorities.
Update · Jan 29, 2026, 08:48 PMin_progress
Restating the claim: The article described an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that would include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters beyond the initial actions. It framed the effort as a continuing policy direction rather than a one-off action.
Progress evidence: on January 13, 2026, the U.S. Department of State designated the Lebanese Muslim Brotherhood as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and the group's leader as an SDGT, while the Treasury designated the
Egyptian and
Jordanian branches as SDGTs for providing support to Hamas. Officials described these as the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to disrupt such groups.
Current status: by January 29, 2026, the initial designations were implemented and officials signaled intent to continue using all tools to counter Muslim Brotherhood networks. There is no public confirmation of additional designations having occurred since January 13, though the administration maintains that further actions are forthcoming as part of the ongoing effort.
Milestones and reliability: key dates are January 13, 2026 (initial designations) and accompanying statements from State and Treasury; future steps depend on ongoing policy enforcement. The primary sources are official government releases and major wire services, which corroborate the framing of a sustained campaign rather than a one-time action.

Claim restatement: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
The January 13, 2026 Treasury/State action designates Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations, described as the opening actions of a broader effort to curb their support for terrorism.
As of January 29, 2026 there has been no publicly announced second round of designations or set milestones beyond the initial action. The releases frame this as ongoing, but concrete follow-on decisions have not been disclosed.
Sources are official U.S. government releases (OFAC SB0357 and State Department) with reporting echoed by reputable outlets; credibility hinges on these primary statements and the administration's stated policy goals.
Update · Jan 29, 2026, 04:34 PMin_progress
Restated claim: The January 13, 2026 Treasury/State announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The initial action designated
Egyptian and
Jordanian MB branches (Treasury) and
Lebanese MB (State) as terrorist entities, describing them as part of an ongoing, sustained effort to disrupt MB violence and destabilization.
Progress evidence: The joint actions on January 13, 2026 represent the opening phase of the stated effort. State designated the Lebanese MB as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and SDGT, while Treasury designated the Egyptian and Jordanian MB branches as SDGTs for material support to Hamas, with both departments framing these moves as the first actions of an ongoing strategy. Official statements stressed that these designations would deprive MB chapters of resources and would be part of broader tools to counter terrorism.
Status versus completion: As of January 29, 2026, there have been no publicly reported additional MB designations beyond the three branches named on January 13. Multiple reputable U.S. government outlets describe the actions as the opening actions of a sustained effort, but no subsequent designations have been publicly announced in the available records.
Dates and milestones: January 13, 2026 — State designates Lebanese MB as FTO/SDGT and MB leadership; January 13, 2026 — Treasury designates Egyptian and Jordanian MB branches as SDGT for providing material support to Hamas. These actions are framed as the first step in an ongoing campaign with future designations anticipated but not yet publicly dated.
Source reliability note: The primary details come from official memos and press releases from the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Department of State (OFAC designation notice; State Spokesperson press release). Coverage from additional outlets corroborates the initial actions and the framing of an ongoing effort, with consistent language that these are opening actions in a sustained program.
Update · Jan 29, 2026, 02:46 PMin_progress
Restated claim: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Evidence to date shows initial actions under this framework, with officials signaling further steps to come. On January 13, 2026, Treasury OFAC designated
Egyptian and Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood branches as Specially Designated Global Terrorists, underscoring an ongoing policy to curb MB influence and support for Hamas (OFAC press release). State Department statements released the same day also framed the action as part of a broader, continuing effort to deprive MB chapters of resources for terrorism (State press release).
Update · Jan 29, 2026, 12:43 PMin_progress
Restatement of the claim: The January 13, 2026 Treasury and State announcement frames a continuing
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Evidence of progress: On January 13, 2026,
the United States designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters—
Egypt,
Lebanon, and
Jordan—as foreign terrorist organizations and SDGTs, with accompanying statements that these actions reflect the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart Brotherhood violence and destabilization (State and Treasury press materials and Reuters summary).
Evidence of completion or ongoing status: There is no public record by January 29, 2026 of further, subsequent designations beyond the initial three chapters. The official language repeatedly describes the actions as the first in an ongoing effort, but no published follow-up designations are reported in sources consulted.
Reliability and context: The key sources are a Treasury press release (SB0357), a State Department release, and contemporaneous reporting from Reuters, all credible and aligned in framing the announcements as the start of a broader campaign. The claim’s underlying incentive is consistent with U.S. policy messaging to disrupt terrorist financing and operations; still, the stated completion condition—additional designations—remains unfulfilled as of 2026-01-29 based on available public reporting.
Update · Jan 29, 2026, 10:51 AMin_progress
Claim restatement: The January 13, 2026 Treasury/State announcements indicate an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Evidence of initial action: Treasury and State designated several Muslim Brotherhood branches as terrorist organizations on January 13, 2026, described as the opening actions of an ongoing and sustained effort. Progress toward completion: As of January 29, 2026, there is public confirmation only of the initial designations; no subsequent, publicly announced additional designations have been documented. The announcements frame future actions as part of a broad, ongoing program, but concrete milestones or follow-on designations beyond the initial steps have not been publicly disclosed. Source reliability and limits: The core claims come from official government releases; no independent corroboration is provided in these materials.
Update · Jan 29, 2026, 08:59 AMin_progress
Restatement of claim: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Progress evidence: On January 13, 2026, the State Department designated the
Lebanese,
Jordanian, and
Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations or SDGTs, with Treasury designating the Egyptian and Jordanian branches for material support to Hamas. The State Department described these actions as the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart Muslim Brotherhood violence and destabilization wherever it occurs.
Current status as of 2026-01-28: No public follow-up designations have been disclosed since the initial trio. Coverage from major outlets and think tanks confirms the initial actions and frames them as the start of a sustained campaign, but concrete next targets or timelines remain unconfirmed in public statements.
Source reliability and incentives: The primary government sources (State Department and Treasury) confirm the initial designations and frame them as part of a broader policy effort. Independent coverage corroborates the actions but does not indicate immediate subsequent designations, suggesting a measured rollout aligned with counterterrorism objectives.
Supplementary context: The government emphasis on an ongoing effort implies continued designations, though no explicit completion date exists. Monitoring official announcements and major outlets is needed to verify any further targets or milestones as this policy progresses.
Follow-up note: If additional Muslim Brotherhood chapters are designated, that would constitute progress toward the stated sustained effort; absence of new designations to date leaves the claim in a state of ongoing development.
Update · Jan 29, 2026, 04:40 AMin_progress
The claim states that the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort to designate additional Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorists. Initial steps were taken that day, with State designating the
Lebanese MB as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and SDGT, and Treasury designating
Egyptian and
Jordanian MB branches as SDGTs for providing support to Hamas.
These actions were explicitly framed as the opening moves of a broader campaign, with officials indicating that additional designations would follow as part of the ongoing effort.
As of the current date, no publicly announced additional MB designations beyond the three branches named on January 13 have been reported, so the claim remains in_progress rather than completed.
The sources backing this assessment are U.S. government statements from Treasury and State, corroborated by reputable outlets reporting the designations and the stated intent to pursue further actions.
Update · Jan 29, 2026, 02:53 AMin_progress
Claim restatement: The Treasury press release signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort to thwart Muslim Brotherhood violence, including through additional terrorist designations of Brotherhood chapters. Status of progress: On January 13, 2026, the U.S. designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations, described as the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort. No publicly verified follow-up designations have been reported by late January 2026.
What evidence exists of progress: The January 13, 2026 announcements from the State Department and Treasury confirm the initiation of a broader campaign and indicate more designations are anticipated as part of the effort (State Dept fact sheet; Treasury SB0357). These actions explicitly frame the January 13 designations as the first steps in a continuing process (AP and press summaries citing the same language).
Completion status: The initial tranche has been completed (three Brotherhood chapters designated). As of 2026-01-28, there is no public reporting of additional designations having occurred since then, so the broader, sustained effort remains in progress rather than finished. The policy signal remains active, but concrete milestones beyond the initial designations have not been publicly documented.
Dates and milestones: January 13, 2026 – the first designations are announced by State and Treasury; language frames this as opening actions of a sustained effort. Follow-up designations, if any, have not been publicly disclosed by January 28, 2026.
Reliability and caveats: Primary sources are U.S. Treasury and State Department press materials, supplemented by major outlets (AP, Reuters via aggregators). These official sources confirm the opening actions and the stated intent of continued designations, but do not document further milestones beyond the initial trio of designations.
Update · Jan 29, 2026, 01:06 AMin_progress
Restated claim: The administration signaled an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Evidence shows the initial action occurred on January 13, 2026, when Treasury and State designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations, marking the opening actions of a broader campaign. This initial action supports the notion of an ongoing effort, but as of late January 2026 there has not been a publicly announced second round of designations targeting other Brotherhood chapters. Officials describe future action as part of an ongoing policy trajectory, though concrete additional designations had not been disclosed in the window observed.
Update · Jan 28, 2026, 11:01 PMin_progress
Restatement of the claim: The January 13, 2026 announcements describe an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Progress to date: On January 13, 2026, the State Department and Treasury Department designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters (
Lebanon,
Egypt, and
Jordan) as terrorist organizations or SDGTs, describing these as the opening actions of an ongoing effort. This marks the first tranche of designations in what officials described as a sustained campaign to curb the organization’s violence and destabilization (State Department press statement; Treasury SB-0357).
Ongoing status and completion prospects: There is no public indication by late January 2026 of subsequent, confirmed additional designations beyond the initial three. The agencies characterized the actions as the opening steps of a sustained campaign, but a concrete list or timeline for further designations has not been released as of January 28, 2026 (State Department release; Treasury release).
Dates, milestones, and reliability: The key milestone occurred on 2026-01-13 with three chapters designated; follow-up designations, if any, have not been publicly announced by 2026-01-28. Reporting from the State Department and Treasury press materials confirms the stated intent of ongoing action, and coverage from multiple outlets corroborates the initial tranche. The absence of a published second tranche by late January suggests remaining progress or announcements are in flux rather than complete.
Source reliability and incentives: Primary information comes from official U.S. government releases (State Department and Treasury), which are the most authoritative sources for designation actions. Coverage from reputable outlets reinforces the official framing. The stated incentive is to deprive designated chapters of resources to engage in terrorism and to deter expansion of the group’s networks, aligning with U.S. counterterrorism policy rather than partisan framing.
Update · Jan 28, 2026, 08:47 PMin_progress
Restated claim: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Evidence of progress: On January 13, 2026, the State Department designated the Lebanese Muslim Brotherhood as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and a Specially Designated Global Terrorist, and designated MB leader Muhammad Fawzi Taqqosh as an SDGT. Treasury designated the
Egyptian and
Jordanian MB branches as SDGTs for providing material support to Hamas. State and Treasury framed these as the first actions in an ongoing, sustained effort to counter MB chapters (with assurances of further designations to come).
Current status: The designations issued represent the initial actions of the promised ongoing effort. There is no publicly announced second batch of MB designations as of 2026-01-28, though official statements describe future actions as part of the sustained policy shift.
Milestones and dates: January 13, 2026 – designations of MB chapters in
Lebanon (State) and
Egypt/Jordan (Treasury) announced; linked to Executive Order 14362 and an ongoing sanctioning framework. The accompanying statements emphasize that these are the opening actions in a broader, ongoing effort that could include additional designations.
Source reliability and incentives: The primary sources are official U.S. government releases from the State Department and the Treasury (OFAC), which reduces risk of misinterpretation and frames future actions as part of a continuing policy. These outlets emphasize counterterrorism goals and sanctions-driven incentives, including depriving MB chapters of resources; this aligns with stated U.S. policy priorities rather than partisan framing.
Follow-up note: If further MB designations are announced, they should be evaluated against whether additional chapters or affiliates are targeted, the legal authorities cited, and the stated milestones of the ongoing effort. The current public record supports the interpretation that the process has begun but has not yet demonstrated concrete, publicly announced completions beyond the initial trio of designations.

What the claim states: The January 13, 2026 Treasury and State Departments announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The initial action designated MB chapters, framing it as the opening phase of a broader campaign to disrupt MB violence and destabilization. (Treasury SB0357; State Department press release, 2026-01-13)
Progress evidence: On the announcement date, U.S. officials designated three MB chapters as foreign terrorist organizations and stated this was the first action in a sustained effort. Both Treasury and State emphasized the goal of depriving MB networks of resources and using all available tools to target branches and affiliates. (Treasury SB0357; State Department press release, 2026-01-13)
Current status vs. completion: The completion condition—additional MB designations as part of the sustained effort—had not been fulfilled by 2026-01-27, with no publicly announced second wave by that date. The administration described the effort as ongoing, implying future designations would follow, but no firm timeline was public at that time. (AP, The Hill, 2026-01-13)
Reliability note: The sources are official government releases corroborated by major outlets, presenting a consistent narrative that the designation rollout began with initial actions and was intended to continue. Specific future designations and dates remained uncertain as of the latest reporting. (Treasury SB0357; State Department press release; AP, 2026-01-13)
Update · Jan 28, 2026, 02:34 AMin_progress
The claim describes an ongoing
U.S. effort to curb Muslim Brotherhood influence, including further terrorist designations of chapters. On January 13, 2026, the Treasury and State Departments announced initial designations of three Muslim Brotherhood chapters, marking the opening actions of a broader campaign. Officials framed these as ongoing steps with more designations to come, rather than a finished program. The completion condition (additional designations) remains in_progress with no fixed end date announced.
Update · Jan 28, 2026, 01:20 AMin_progress
The claim restates that the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Official statements frame the action as opening moves in a broader campaign and promise use of all tools to curb MB support for terrorism.
Evidence shows initial progress: the
Lebanese MB was designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and SDGT by the State Department, while the
Egyptian and
Jordanian MB branches were designated SDGTs by the Treasury, all on January 13, 2026. These actions are described as the first steps of an ongoing effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization.
As of January 27, 2026, there has not been publicly confirmed reporting of further MB designations beyond the initial three branches, though officials indicated ongoing action and future designations could follow. The narrative from State and Treasury emphasizes an ongoing process, not a completed package of actions.
Reliability is high for the core facts, given the primary-source statements from State and Treasury and corroborating reporting from reputable outlets such as AP. The sources consistently present the designations as initial steps in a broader, sustained campaign rather than a finished policy package.
Based on available public records, the claim is best characterized as in_progress, with clear initial milestones but no publicly announced completion as of the current date.
Update · Jan 28, 2026, 12:23 AMin_progress
The claim states that the announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The initial actions on January 13, 2026 designate three Muslim Brotherhood branches (
Egyptian,
Jordanian, and
Lebanese) as terrorist organizations under OFAC and related Department of State actions, marking the start of what officials described as an ongoing, sustained effort to curb MB violence and destabilization (OFAC designations; Treasury press release; State Department actions). These actions represent the first tranche of what officials described as a broader, continuing policy approach.
Evidence of progress thus far includes the formal designation of MB branches as terrorist organizations by OFAC and the related State Department designations, issued concurrently on January 13, 2026. The Treasury press release explicitly frames this as the initial action in a sustained effort and notes authorities will pursue further designations as part of that effort. State Department materials corroborate that these moves are part of an ongoing policy direction rather than a one-off action (Treasury OFAC action, State press materials).
As of January 27, 2026, there is no publicly confirmed list of additional MB designation actions completed after the January 13 announcements. Media reports and official briefings describe these as the first actions, with the administration signaling intent to continue designations in the future, but specific, subsequent targets or dates have not been publicly detailed. The available official materials emphasize ongoing, future steps rather than a completed, multi-designation package.
Key dates and milestones include the January 13, 2026 OFAC and State actions designating MB branches in
Egypt,
Jordan, and
Lebanon, and the accompanying Treasury remarks about an ongoing effort. The reliability of the sources is high: primary government documents (OFAC listing, Treasury press release) and corroborating State Department materials provide a consistent account of the initial action and the stated intent for continued designations. Coverage from major outlets (AP, The Hill) further reinforces the narrative of ongoing policy direction, though they are secondary to the official records.
Reliability note: The core claim rests on official U.S. government statements and sanctions actions. While the January 13 announcements establish a clear start, the claim about additional designations remains contingent on future actions not yet publicly announced as of late January 2026. Monitoring OFAC updates and State/Treasury press releases will be essential to track whether and when further MB designations materialize, consistent with the stated ongoing effort.
Update · Jan 27, 2026, 09:14 PMin_progress
Claim restatement: The administration signaled an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that would include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters, with the first actions announced on January 13, 2026.
Progress evidence: On January 13, 2026, the State Department designated the Lebanese Muslim Brotherhood as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and a Specially Designated Global Terrorist, and designated the group’s leader as an SDGT. Concurrently, the Treasury designated the
Egyptian and Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood branches as SDGTs for material support to Hamas. These actions were described as the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization.
Current status: The announcements describe an ongoing effort and anticipate additional designations, but no publicly disclosed subsequent MB designations have been identified by January 27, 2026. The language emphasizes future actions as part of the sustained policy.
Dates and milestones: Actions were announced January 13, 2026, lifting a first wave under Executive Order 14362 policy. Official materials indicate continued pursuit of further designations, with follow-up actions expected as policy evolves.
Source reliability: Primary sources are official U.S. government statements (State Department press release and Treasury/OFAC release). Corroboration from reputable outlets aligns with official wording and provides a neutral, policy-focused account.
Update · Jan 27, 2026, 07:13 PMin_progress
Restated claim: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The Treasury and State press release from January 13, 2026 frames the action as the first part of an ongoing campaign to curb Muslim Brotherhood violence and destabilization, with additional designations anticipated in the future (OFAC designation wording; State Department press materials).
Progress evidence: On January 13, 2026,
the United States designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters (
Egyptian,
Jordanian, and
Lebanese) as terrorist organizations or SDGTs, explicitly describing these actions as the initial steps in a broader, sustained effort (Treasury OFAC press release; State Department release). Reuters/AP summaries corroborate that these were presented as the first actions in an ongoing campaign (AP News coverage; State Department briefing).
Current status as of 2026-01-27: No publicly announced follow-on designations beyond the initial three chapters have been reported in major, reputable outlets or official agency channels within this period. The available official materials emphasize ongoing intent but do not confirm a closed list or a completed wave of subsequent designations by that date (Treasury press release; State press release; contemporaneous coverage).
Milestones and dates: Key milestone is the January 13, 2026 designation event. The absence of additional, publicly disclosed designations by January 27, 2026 suggests either a pause, ongoing assessment, or later actions not yet disclosed in the sources consulted. Reputable outlets consistently link any future designations to an ongoing strategy rather than a finished rollout at that time (Treasury release; State release; AP/Reuters coverage).
Source reliability and incentives: The primary sources are U.S. Treasury OFAC and U.S. State Department press materials, which are official and aligned with U.S. counterterrorism policy. News coverage from AP and State Department briefings corroborates the framing of an ongoing campaign, though interpretations should consider incentives to present a broad, continuing policy effort rather than a finished rollout. Overall reliability is high for the explicit claims made, with caveats about the timing of subsequent actions.

Restated claim: The January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Progress to date: On January 13, 2026, the U.S. Department of the Treasury and Department of State designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters (
Lebanese,
Jordanian, and
Egyptian) as terrorist organizations. This action was described as the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart Brotherhood violence and destabilization (official statements from Treasury and State). The press materials frame these designations as the first step in a broader campaign, but no public follow-on designations have been announced publicly as of 2026-01-27.
Current status vs. claim: The administration has stated its intent to pursue additional designations as part of a sustained effort. However, there is no publicly verifiable record by January 27, 2026 of any subsequent Muslim Brotherhood chapters being designated beyond the initial three. The claim that “additional terrorist designations” will occur remains aspirational rather than confirmed by a new, public designation action in the given window.
Dates and milestones: Key milestone achieved is the January 13, 2026 designation of three MB chapters. No further milestones or completion of the promised ongoing designations have been publicly documented up to 2026-01-27. The reliability of current reporting rests on official Treasury and State Department releases; coverage from major outlets corroborates the initial action. If subsequent designations occur, they would come from the same agencies and would require new public announcements.
Reliability note: The primary sources are official government releases (Treasury SB0357; State Department designation release) and corroborating reporting from reputable outlets (AP, State/Treasury summaries). While the initial action is documented, the claim about ongoing, additional designations cannot be confirmed beyond the first tranche at this time; status appears to be in_progress pending new announcements.
Update · Jan 27, 2026, 02:32 PMin_progress
Restated claim: The January 13, 2026 Treasury/State designation announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Progress evidence: The same OFAC press release framed designations as the first actions of a continuing effort, and subsequent OFAC actions on January 16 and January 21, 2026 added MB-linked entities and individuals to the SDN List and expanded sanctions related to Hamas networks, indicating an ongoing campaign rather than a one-off action.
Current status: As of 2026-01-27, the effort appears to be ongoing, with multiple follow-on designations by OFAC expanding the scope to MB branches in
Egypt,
Jordan, and
Lebanon, as well as related Hamas-support networks and individuals. No formal termination or completion has been announced.
Key milestones and dates: January 13, 2026 – MB branches designated as SDGT/SDN; January 21, 2026 – expansion to additional Hamas-linked entities and networks; ongoing updates to the SDN List reflect continued policy implementation. These actions align with the Administration’s stated preference for persistent counterterrorism designations.
Source reliability note: The core claims come from the U.S. Treasury press release (Jan 13, 2026) and OFAC’s recent actions page (Jan 13 and Jan 21, 2026), both official government sources that directly document the policy and its follow-ups. These sources provide corroboration of the sustained designation strategy and its incremental implementation.
Update · Jan 27, 2026, 12:28 PMin_progress
The claim restates the press language as an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. On January 13, 2026, the Department of State and the Treasury designated MB chapters in
Lebanon,
Egypt, and
Jordan as terrorist organizations, marking the initial actions in what officials describe as an ongoing campaign. These designations are presented as the opening moves rather than a final, concluded policy action. The issuances frame future MB designations as part of a sustained effort to disrupt MB violence and destabilization wherever it occurs, implying more actions may follow. Reliability of sources is high, relying on official State Department and OFAC notices, which provide formal designation details and policy context.
Update · Jan 27, 2026, 10:31 AMin_progress
Claim restatement: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Evidence of progress: On January 13, 2026, OFAC designated MB branches as terrorist organizations, described as the first actions in an ongoing, sustained effort (Treasury press release SB0357). A subsequent OFAC action on January 21, 2026 expanded designations to MB-linked entities and individuals (OFAC recent actions).
Current status: The initial designations indicate the start of the sustained effort, with continued action demonstrated by the January 21 expansions; as of January 27, 2026, actions are ongoing rather than complete.
Milestones and dates: January 13, 2026 – MB
Egyptian,
Jordanian branches designated as SDGT; January 21, 2026 – MB-linked NGOs and individuals added to the SDN list (OFAC). These steps show a progressing sanctions regime rather than a closed end-state.
Source reliability: The actions are from official U.S. government sources (Treasury/OFAC), which confirms the designation steps and framing of an ongoing effort; coverage from OFAC release pages corroborates the sequence.
Incentives note: The escalations reflect a policy aim to disrupt MB-linked financial networks, consistent with the Administration’s counterterrorism priorities and sanctions authorities.
Update · Jan 27, 2026, 08:20 AMin_progress
The claim states that the announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The January 13, 2026 Treasury/State actions designated three Muslim Brotherhood branches (
Egyptian,
Jordanian, and
Lebanese) as terrorist organizations and described them as part of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization, with additional designations anticipated in the future. This establishes the stated intention but does not itself confirm immediate further designations beyond the initial three branches.
Progress evidence: the joint action designated MB branches as Foreign Terrorist Organizations and Specially Designated Global Terrorists, and the press release frames this as the opening actions of an ongoing effort. The State Department press release and OFAC-imposed designations on January 13, 2026 corroborate the initiating step and the policy intent to use all tools to disrupt MB networks, including future designations. Coverage from additional outlets also reiterates the claim of an ongoing program rather than a fixed, completed set of actions.
Current status: as of 2026-01-26, there is no public record of subsequent MB chapter designations beyond the three branches named in mid-January. The administration’s language points to future actions, but no announced milestones or completion dates for further designations have been publicly published. Analysts describe this as the beginning of a broader campaign rather than a concluded or fully implemented program.
Key dates and milestones: January 13, 2026 — Treasury/OFAC and State Department announce initial MB designations (Egyptian, Jordanian, Lebanese branches) and describe the action as the opening of an ongoing, sustained effort. The January 15-16 coverage discusses the impact and framing, but there is not yet a public list of additional branch designations or a timetable. The reliability of sources is high for the primary actions (Treasury/OFAC and State), with corroboration from AP and State Department briefings.
Source reliability note: the primary claim derives from official U.S. government press releases issued on January 13, 2026, which are primary and authoritative for policy actions. Subsequent reporting from AP and analysis from think tanks confirms the interpretation of these actions as the initial step in a broader, future-designations program. Given the lack of announced follow-on designations at this time, the assessment remains that the process is ongoing but not yet completed.
Update · Jan 27, 2026, 04:40 AMin_progress
The claim restates that the January 13, 2026 Treasury/State action signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort to designate Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorists, with the explicit note that more designations would follow. The SB0357 press release frames the action as the first step in an ongoing campaign to curb MB violence and destabilization, indicating that additional designations were expected in the future.
Evidence of progress beyond the initial designation is not clearly documented in publicly available Treasury or State Department releases up to 2026-01-26. The January 13, 2026 press release emphasizes a continuing effort, but does not publish a schedule, list subsequent targets, or confirm concrete milestones achieved after that date.
As of the current date, there is no publicly disclosed second or subsequent MB designation announced by OFAC or the State Department that explicitly designates new MB chapters or affiliates. Treasury’s press site shows other sanctions actions, but none are described as follow-on Muslim Brotherhood designations on or before 2026-01-26.
The completion condition—additional MB designations as part of the stated sustained effort—remains unconfirmed in the public record through 2026-01-26. Official updates or subsequent designation notices would be the strongest evidence of progress toward the stated completion condition.
Update · Jan 27, 2026, 03:33 AMin_progress
Restatement of the claim: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Evidence of progress: On January 13, 2026, the Treasury and State Departments designated Muslim Brotherhood branches as terrorist organizations, framing these actions as the opening steps of an ongoing effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization (OFAC press release SB0357; State Department release). Designated entities and scope: The actions targeted
Egyptian and
Jordanian MB branches (and related entities) under terrorism authorities, with designations under EO 13224. Status and milestones: As of January 26, 2026, there is no publicly reported follow-up or second wave of MB designations announced in the official channels consulted. This leaves the completion condition—additional MB designations as part of the sustained effort—unfulfilled at that date. Reliability and incentives: The sources are official U.S. government statements from Treasury and State, which clearly describe an ongoing policy trajectory; subsequent coverage up to late January 2026 corroborates the sequence but does not show a completed wave of new designations. Overall assessment: The claim is still plausible and aligned with stated policy, but the asserted ongoing, sustained effort had not yet demonstrated a concrete second round of designations by the date reviewed.
Update · Jan 27, 2026, 01:13 AMin_progress
What the claim stated: The January 13, 2026 Treasury-State announcement framed its MB designations as the opening actions in an ongoing, sustained effort to curb Muslim Brotherhood violence, with promises of additional designations to follow. It explicitly described the effort as ongoing and that further actions would occur as part of the campaign. The claim is that this would continue with more MB chapters being designated over time.
Update · Jan 26, 2026, 10:50 PMin_progress
Restated claim: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Initial actions designated three MB chapters as terrorist organizations and SDGT entities, with Treasury targeting two for material support to Hamas, announced January 13, 2026. Evidence shows these initial designations mark the opening actions of the effort; no public reports of further MB designations by January 26, 2026. The administration has not published a concrete completion date or milestones beyond these initial actions. Source material includes official statements from the State Department and Treasury, corroborated by policy-focused reporting.
Update · Jan 26, 2026, 08:38 PMin_progress
Claim restatement: The January 13, 2026 announcements signaled a sustained
U.S. effort that would include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters beyond the initial actions.
Progress evidence: The State Department designated the
Lebanese,
Jordanian, and
Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood chapters, with the department framing these as opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort. The Treasury designated the Egyptian and Jordanian MB branches as SDGTs for providing material support to Hamas, aligning with the broader designation push. Public reporting through late January 2026 reflects these initial actions and emphasizes ongoing scope rather than completion.
Progress status: There is no public record by January 26, 2026 of further MB chapter designations beyond the three already named (Lebanese, Jordanian, Egyptian) in the initial wave. The administration characterized the steps as the start of a continuing campaign, but completion of additional designations remains not publicly defined.
Dates and milestones: January 13, 2026 marks the initial designations; subsequent press materials outline an ongoing campaign but do not specify a timetable or list of future targets.
Reliability note: The core information derives from official U.S. government releases (State Department and Treasury) and corroborating coverage from reputable outlets, which strengthens factual grounding while noting that stated intent does not equate to confirmed future actions.
Follow-up: Monitor State Department and Treasury announcements for subsequent MB-designation events and any described milestones.
Update · Jan 26, 2026, 06:47 PMin_progress
Restated claim: The January 13, 2026 announcements signal an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort to curb Muslim Brotherhood activity, with the promise of additional terrorist designations targeting MB branches.
Evidence of progress: The State Department and Treasury Department announced simultaneous designations on January 13, 2026, designating three MB chapters (
Lebanese as FTO/SDGT;
Egyptian and
Jordanian as SDGTs for Hamas support). The joint action explicitly framed these as opening steps in an ongoing effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization.
Progress status: The initial designations were completed as announced, establishing the framework for further actions under Executive Order 14362 and related authorities. However, there is no public confirmation by late January 2026 of subsequent MB branch designations beyond the initial three, so the broader, continuing aspect of the “sustained effort” remains in progress.
Dates and milestones: January 13, 2026 – State and Treasury designations of MB chapters; description of ongoing effort appears in the same announcements. No additional milestone dates have been publicly reported by January 26, 2026.
Reliability of sources: The primary material comes from official U.S. government releases (State Department and Treasury/OFAC), which are the authoritative sources for such designations. Independent outlets corroborate the basic facts but should be weighed against official documents for designation specifics and scope.
Source notes: State Department press release (January 13, 2026) and Treasury OFAC press release confirm the initial designations and the framing of an ongoing effort.
Update · Jan 26, 2026, 04:22 PMin_progress
Claim restated: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Progress evidence shows the designations of three MB chapters (
Lebanese,
Jordanian,
Egyptian) and their leadership on January 13, 2026, as part of a broader stated campaign to disrupt MB violence and destabilization. The administration framed these as opening actions of a sustained effort with promises of further designations; as of 2026-01-26, no additional MB designations have been publicly announced, though officials indicate more may follow. Source reliability is high when drawn from official State Department and Treasury releases, corroborated by major outlets reporting on the same actions.
Update · Jan 26, 2026, 02:33 PMin_progress
The claim asserts that the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The initial step, designating three Muslim Brotherhood branches, was publicly announced by State and Treasury on January 13, 2026 as part of what they described as the first actions of an ongoing effort. These designations constitute the opening actions rather than a completed, long-term package of targets, implying more designations could follow as part of the stated sustained effort.
Evidence of progress shows the administration publicly initiating terrorism designations toward Muslim Brotherhood chapters, with accompanying statements that further actions would come. News coverage and official statements from January 2026 report that three branches were designated and framed as the start of a broader campaign, but as of late January 2026 there is no public confirmation of subsequent, additional designations having occurred yet.
There is no completed milestone beyond the initial three designations in the sources available up to January 26, 2026. The completion condition—issuance of additional terrorist designations as part of the sustained effort—has not been publicly fulfilled by that date, based on current reporting.
Reliability notes: reporting relies on official U.S. government statements (State Department, Treasury) and press aggregations from reputable outlets that summarize the government actions. The incentives of the issuing agencies align with a long-term campaign to counter terrorist activity rather than a single action.
Follow-up guidance: monitor official Treasury and State Department press releases for any subsequent designation rounds or policy updates, with a target follow-up date of 2026-03-01 to capture any announced additional designations or policy changes.
Update · Jan 26, 2026, 12:36 PMin_progress
Claim restated: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The Treasury and State Departments described the actions on January 13, 2026 as the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart Muslim Brotherhood violence and destabilization, with indications that additional designations would follow (Treasury SB0357; State Department release). The claim aligns with the initial designation notices that frame them as first steps in a broader campaign rather than a one-off action.
What progress exists toward the claim: The administration publicly designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations on January 13, 2026, marking the first batch of actions in the ongoing effort (Treasury SB0357; State Department release). These designations are intended to deprive designated branches of resources and are framed as launching points for a broader set of tools to counter such groups (State Department release; Treasury press release).
Evidence on further action by January 26, 2026: There is no public record of additional designations beyond January 13, 2026 as of 2026-01-26. The official materials describe an ongoing process but do not provide a completion timeline or confirm subsequent targets at that date (Treasury SB0357; State Department release; AP News summary).
Milestones and dates: January 13, 2026 – designations of three Muslim Brotherhood chapters announced by Treasury and State Departments as opening actions of a sustained effort (Treasury SB0357; State Department release). Public reporting through January 14, 2026 reiterates this framing; no next targets or completion dates were published by late January 2026 (AP News; State/Treasury releases).
Source reliability note: The primary sources are official government communications (Treasury SB0357; State Department release), corroborated by reputable media briefs (AP News). These indicate the initial step was taken and describe an ongoing process, but do not provide concrete next designations or a fixed completion date as of the date analyzed.
Update · Jan 26, 2026, 10:52 AMin_progress
Claim restated: The administration described an ongoing, sustained effort that would include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Evidence shows initial actions on January 13, 2026, with designations against MB chapters in
Lebanon (FTO/SDGT) and designations of
Egyptian and
Jordanian branches for material support to Hamas (SDGT). The State Department framed these moves as the opening actions of a broader, sustained campaign to thwart MB violence and destabilization wherever it occurs, signaling future designations as part of the effort (State press release, Jan 13, 2026; Treasury press release, Jan 13, 2026).
What progress exists: On the announced date, the State Department designated the
Lebanese MB as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and a Specially Designated Global Terrorist, and designated the MB leader Muhammad Fawzi Taqqosh as an SDGT. Treasury OFAC designated the Egyptian and Jordanian MB branches as SDGTs for providing support to Hamas. The paired actions reflect a coordinated, policy-justified step consistent with Executive Order 14362 and the Administration’s stated approach to curb MB influence (State press release; Treasury press release, Jan 13, 2026).
Completion status: There is no announced or official date for further MB designations beyond these initial actions. The rhetoric describing “an ongoing, sustained effort” implies future steps, but explicit milestones or completion criteria beyond the first tranche have not been publicly disclosed in the cited materials (State and Treasury statements, Jan 13, 2026).
Source reliability: The most direct confirmations come from the U.S. Department of State and Department of the Treasury press materials dated January 13, 2026, which are primary government sources announcing the designations and framing them as the opening actions of a broader effort. Coverage from subsequent days reiterates the same framing; no countervailing official statements indicating reversal or cancellation have emerged in the cited records.
Follow-up note: If you want to assess whether additional MB designations materialize, a focused follow-up on or after 2026-06-01 would help verify whether further chapters have been designated or if new milestones are announced.
Update · Jan 26, 2026, 08:20 AMin_progress
Summary of the claim: The January 13, 2026 Treasury and State designations signal an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Evidence of progress: The January 13, 2026 announcements formally designated several Muslim Brotherhood chapters (
Lebanese,
Jordanian,
Egyptian, in coordination with OFAC/State). The accompanying statements described these actions as the opening stage of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart MB violence and its destabilizing activities, with a pledge to use all tools to deprive MB chapters of resources for terrorism (State Department press release; Treasury OFAC press release).
Current status relative to the completion condition: As of January 25, 2026, there were no publicly reported additional MB designations beyond those announced on January 13. The official materials frame the actions as the beginning of a broader effort, but no further designation steps have been publicly announced in that window.
Milestones and dates: Key milestones are the January 13, 2026 designations by State and Treasury, followed by statements asserting an ongoing, sustained campaign. The absence of additional public designations by January 25 suggests the process was ongoing but not yet completed in terms of further targeted listings within the date range.
Source reliability and caveats: The primary sources are the U.S. Department of the Treasury (OFAC) press release and the Department of State press statement, both official and contemporaneous, which strengthens reliability. Coverage from other reputable outlets corroborates the initial designations and framing of an ongoing effort, though translations of policy intent should be read with caution. Given the stated policy framework, incentives for strict enforcement and broader sanctions capacity align with a continued pursuit of additional designations, pending internal processes and determinations.
Update · Jan 26, 2026, 04:20 AMin_progress
Restatement of the claim: The January 13, 2026 Treasury/State action signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The designations described as the opening actions are framed as the first step in a broader, continuing campaign.
Evidence of progress: On January 13, 2026, the U.S. Treasury (OFAC) and the State Department announced designations of three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations, describing these as the opening actions of an ongoing effort to curb their violence and destabilization. These actions were presented as part of an Administration-wide policy and tied to Executive Order 14362.
Current status relative to the claim: There is no publicly announced completed wave of additional designations as of 2026-01-25. The initial designations are described as the first actions in an ongoing effort, with the Administration indicating future actions could follow. No subsequent designations have been publicly reported in the period reviewed.
Dates and milestones: January 13, 2026 — Treasury/State announce the first three Muslim Brotherhood chapters designated as terrorist organizations; the communications frame this as the opening actions of a sustained effort. No additional milestones or completion announcements were found by 2026-01-25.
Source reliability and notes: Primary sources are official U.S. government releases from Treasury and State; corroboration appears in major outlets. The framing as an ongoing effort is consistent across the sources, but no independent reporting of further designations is available within the date range.
Update · Jan 26, 2026, 02:17 AMin_progress
Restated claim: The administration announced an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart Muslim Brotherhood violence, promising additional terrorist designations targeting MB chapters beyond the initial actions. The January 13–14, 2026 announcements designated MB branches in
Lebanon (FTO/SDGT) and in
Egypt and
Jordan (SDGTs) for support to Hamas, signaling the start of the stated ongoing effort. These actions are described as opening steps in a broader campaign to degrade MB capabilities and influence.
Progress evidence: The Treasury designation (January 13, 2026) and the State Department designation (January 13, 2026) constitute concrete regulatory actions tied to the stated policy. The State Department release characterizes these steps as the first actions of an ongoing, sustained effort, indicating further designations or related measures were anticipated as part of the program.
Current status relative to completion condition: As of January 25, 2026, initial designations have occurred, but public records do not show a second wave publicly announced within this window. The completion condition—additional MB designations—has not been independently confirmed as completed yet; the process appears ongoing with possible future actions.
Source reliability and caveats: The core details come from primary
U.S. government sources (Treasury OFAC press release and State Department press release). They frame the actions as opening steps in an ongoing effort, but no timetable is provided for further designations. This makes the assessment of completion contingent on future government actions.
Update · Jan 26, 2026, 12:25 AMin_progress
Restated claim: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Evidence to date shows the first actions occurred on January 13, 2026, when Treasury and State designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations. These actions are described as the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization, with a stated expectation of further designations in the future. While the initial designations establish a framework for escalation, no additional designations have been publicly announced as of now.
Update · Jan 25, 2026, 10:22 PMin_progress
What the claim states: The January 13, 2026 Treasury press release signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The document explicitly describes the actions as the first steps in a broader campaign to disrupt MB networks and notes that further designations could occur as part of that sustained effort.
Evidence of progress: The January 13 actions designated the
Egyptian and
Jordanian MB branches as Specially Designated Global Terrorists for material support to Hamas, with concurrent State Department designations. This marks the concrete initial implementation of the stated policy and aligns with Executive Order 13224.
Current status of the promise: As of January 25, 2026, public announcements show the initial designations but no publicly disclosed additional MB chapters designated beyond the January 13 actions. The language of ongoing, sustained action remains a stated objective, pending future announcements.
Milestones and reliability: The key milestone is the January 13, 2026 designation actions. Primary sources from the Treasury OFAC release and the State Department designations are high reliability. Ongoing follow-up announcements will determine whether additional MB chapters are designated.
Context and incentives: The actions reflect U.S. policy to curb MB influence and support to Hamas, consistent with sanctions authorities and counterterrorism objectives. The designation framework emphasizes financial sanctions and disruption of resources for designated entities.
Reliability note: Official U.S. government releases provide the most authoritative account of actions taken and next steps; third-party coverage (e.g., security-focused outlets) corroborates the sequence but should be read to complement, not replace, primary sources.
Update · Jan 25, 2026, 08:12 PMin_progress
The claim states that the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The initial action designated MB chapters (
Egyptian,
Jordanian, and
Lebanese) as terrorist organizations, described by the administration as the first actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization. See official Treasury OFAC designation press release and State Department designation announcements dated January 13, 2026.
Evidence of progress to date shows the first wave of designations has occurred, with OFAC designating MB branches in
Egypt,
Jordan, and
Lebanon for material support to Hamas, and State designating the Lebanese MB as FTO/SDGT and naming its leader. These actions establish a policy framework and tools for further sanctions, but they do not indicate additional MB chapters have been designated since that date. Coverage from Treasury (SB0357) and State confirms the milestone actions and the stated intent of ongoing efforts.
There is no publicly available, verifiable record of completed additional MB designations as of 2026-01-25. The administration’s language in SB0357 emphasizes an ongoing, sustained effort, but provides no projected completion date or concrete milestones beyond the initial designations. Given the lack of subsequent designation announcements within this window, the claim remains that progress has started but additional designations are not yet publicly documented.
Reliability notes: the primary sources are official U.S. government agencies (Treasury/OFAC and State Department), which are appropriate for verification of sanctions actions. Media coverage corroborates the initial designations but likewise shows no confirmed follow-up designations by late January 2026. The claim’s credibility hinges on future announcements; at present, the evidence supports ongoing intent rather than completed, additional designations.

Claim restated: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. As of 2026-01-25, three Muslim Brotherhood chapters have been designated (Jan 13, 2026), framed by officials as opening actions in a broader ongoing effort with promises of additional designations to come. No further completed designations have been publicly announced beyond the initial three.
Update · Jan 25, 2026, 04:19 PMin_progress
Claim restatement: The article says the announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Evidence of progress: On January 13, 2026, the U.S. designated MB branches in
Lebanon and designated the
Egyptian and
Jordanian MB branches as SDGTs, with State Department framing these as opening actions of a broader sustained effort. Current status: These actions constitute the initial step; as of 2026-01-25 there is no publicly reported follow-on MB designation beyond the January 13 announcements. Dates and milestones: January 13, 2026 – designations announced by State and Treasury; subsequent reporting through mid-January framed this as the start of an ongoing campaign, with no confirmed additional designations by 2026-01-25. Source reliability: Official government sources (State Department; Treasury/OFAC) provide primary, credible documentation of actions, supplemented by reputable outlets that reported on the announcements. Note on incentives: The actions reflect the administration’s stated objective to disrupt MB networks; continued designations would likely follow enforcement considerations and identified threats across MB branches.

Claim restatement: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Evidence of progress: On January 13, 2026, the Treasury and State Departments announced the first actions of this sustained effort, designating three Muslim Brotherhood chapters (
Egyptian,
Jordanian, and
Lebanese MB) as terrorist organizations or facilitating designation of related leaders and networks. The accompanying statements framed these as the opening actions in a broader, continuing campaign and indicated that further designations could follow (OFAC/State press materials; State press release).
Are we seeing completed or ongoing status? As of January 25, 2026, there are public reports confirming the initial set of designations but no publicly disclosed follow-on MB chapters designated beyond the three announced on January 13. Coverage from outlets such as AP, HSToday, and the Foreign Policy-focused commentary notes this as the initial step in an ongoing effort, with emphasis on potential future actions rather than completed expansion (AP, HSToday, State/ Treasury releases).
Milestones and dates: January 13, 2026 – OFAC and State designate MB branches in
Egypt,
Jordan, and
Lebanon, with related leadership designations and sanctions guidance issued. The statements explicitly frame these as the first actions of an ongoing effort that could include additional designations in the future (Treasury SB0357; State release). There is no publicly announced completion date or list of subsequent branches to date.
Source reliability and caveats: Primary information comes from U.S. government briefings (Treasury OFAC SB0357; State Department press release) and corroborating reporting from AP and defense/terrorism policy outlets. While these sources are contemporary and authoritative on sanctions actions, the coverage notes ongoing uncertainty about which additional MB chapters may be targeted next and when.
Overall assessment: The claim aligns with the January 13, 2026 announcements describing an ongoing, sustained effort with the potential for more designations, but as of 2026-01-25 there is no public evidence of new MB chapters designated beyond the initial three. The situation remains in_progress, contingent on future actions by OFAC/State.
Update · Jan 25, 2026, 12:22 PMin_progress
What the claim states: The January 13, 2026 Treasury/State action signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The releases frame the move as the opening actions of a broader program to curb MB violence and destabilization, with promises of further designations.
Evidence of progress: initial designations targeted MB chapters in
Egypt,
Jordan, and
Lebanon, plus related individuals, under E.O. 13224. The actions were announced concurrently by Treasury’s OFAC and the State Department, marking a concrete first step in a broader policy framework.
Status of completion: these actions have been publicly implemented, with officials describing them as the start of a sustained campaign rather than a completed, fixed set of measures. Subsequent statements reiterate the intent to pursue additional designations as part of the ongoing effort.
Milestones and timing: January 13, 2026 serves as the explicit milestone for the initial designations; there is no published completion date. The narrative remains that further MB chapters will be designated in the future, contingent on policy decisions and enforcement actions.
Reliability and context: the core evidence comes from official U.S. government sources (OFAC/Treasury and the State Department), which provide the formal record of designations and stated policy aims. Ongoing coverage from major outlets corroborates the basic facts but should be read with attention to potential policy changes.
Overall assessment: the claim is currently supported by the existence of the initial designations and the stated intention of a sustained campaign, but the record does not show concrete additional designations beyond the initial actions as of 2026-01-25. The status remains “in_progress” pending further designations.

The claim states that the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. It characterizes the action as part of a broader program to thwart Muslim Brotherhood violence and destabilization worldwide.
Update · Jan 25, 2026, 08:18 AMin_progress
Summary of the claim: The administration announced a first wave of Muslim Brotherhood designations and stated the effort would be ongoing and sustained, including additional terrorist designations targeting MB chapters. The initial action occurred on January 13, 2026, with designations by the State and Treasury Departments of three MB branches, and Treasury framing this as the first actions of a continued effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization (State, 2026-01-13; Treasury, 2026-01-13).
Progress to date: The January 13, 2026 announcements designated three MB chapters as terrorist organizations, marking the start of the effort described by
U.S. officials. Coverage and official summaries confirm these were the first actions in the stated sustained effort, rather than a completed, all-encompassing set of designations (State press release; Treasury press release, 2026-01-13).
Current status relative to the completion condition: There is no public record by January 24, 2026 of additional MB chapters being designated beyond the three announced on January 13. Public statements describe an intention for ongoing designations, but no confirmed subsequent actions have been disclosed in the sources examined (State/Treasury releases; major outlets citing the announcements, through 2026-01-24).
Milestones and dating: January 13, 2026 – designation of three MB chapters as terrorist organizations; statements describe an ongoing, sustained effort that could include further designations. No announced completion date or later milestones were identified in the sources reviewed up to January 24, 2026. Reliability note: The primary claims come directly from official U.S. government releases (State and Treasury) corroborated by major outlets; coverage is consistent about the initial designations and the stated ongoing nature, with no contradictory evidence found in the sources evaluated.
Update · Jan 25, 2026, 04:16 AMin_progress
Restated claim: The January 2026 announcements signal an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Evidence to date shows the administration designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters (
Lebanese,
Jordanian,
Egyptian) on January 13, 2026, representing the opening actions of this effort. State Department and Treasury Department statements framed these moves as the first step in a broader, sustained campaign to disrupt financing and violence linked to Brotherhood branches (State press release; Treasury sb0357).
Update · Jan 25, 2026, 02:09 AMin_progress
Restated claim: The administration’s announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Progress evidence: On January 13, 2026, the State Department designated the
Lebanese,
Jordanian, and
Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist designations or SDGTs, with Treasury designating related aims. State framed these as opening actions in an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart Brotherhood violence and destabilization (State Dept. press release; Treasury press release, 2026-01-13).
Current status: The announced designations for those three chapters have been completed; no public record by January 24, 2026 of further simultaneous designations beyond these initial actions. Independent outlets corroborated the timing and nature of the initial designations (AP, The Hill, 2026-01-13).
Reliability note: Primary sources are official U.S. government statements, complemented by reputable reporting that confirms timing and scope. No conflicting reports about the completion of the stated initial actions have emerged as of the date in question.
Milestones and dates: January 13, 2026 — Lebanese, Jordanian, and Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood chapters designated; leadership designated as SDGT; Treasury links Egyptian/Jordanian branches to Hamas. No additional milestones publicly announced by January 24, 2026.
Update · Jan 25, 2026, 12:23 AMin_progress
Restated claim: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Evidence of initial actions: On January 13, 2026, the State Department and Treasury announced the first designations of Muslim Brotherhood chapters, describing them as opening actions in an ongoing campaign to thwart violence and destabilization, including through further designations (State, Jan 13, 2026; Treasury, Jan 13, 2026).
Progress status as of 2026-01-24: Public reporting confirms the initial designations but does not show additional completed designations beyond those announced on Jan 13, 2026; the broad phrasing remains that more designations are forthcoming as part of the sustained effort (AP, Jan 13, 2026).
Milestones and scope: The January 13 actions designated the Lebanese Muslim Brotherhood as an FTO/SDGT and targeted other regional branches, establishing a framework for further enforcement and potential additional designations (State, Jan 13, 2026).
Reliability and incentives: Official U.S. government sources are the primary basis for the actions, lending credibility to the initial steps; sources emphasize the ongoing nature of the effort and the policy incentive to disrupt the Brotherhood network, though no further designations are documented in the cited period.
Bottom line: The claim is best characterized as in_progress given the initial designations and stated intent for ongoing action, with no publicly confirmed additional designations by 2026-01-24.
Update · Jan 24, 2026, 10:20 PMin_progress
Claim restated: The January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The initial actions designated three Muslim Brotherhood branches (
Lebanese FTO/SDGT;
Egyptian and
Jordanian SDGTs) as part of this effort (State and Treasury releases, Jan 13, 2026). The announcement explicitly frames these moves as the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart Muslim Brotherhood violence and destabilization, with the intention of pursuing further designations where warranted (State/ Treasury releases, Jan 13, 2026).
Progress evidence: Public statements on January 13, 2026 from the U.S. Department of State and the Treasury corroborate the initial designations and emphasize that they are the opening actions of a broader campaign. The State Department press release notes the Lebanese, Jordanian, and Egyptian chapters designated as terrorist entities, while Treasury/OFAC designates the corresponding branches for material support to Hamas (State/Treasury, Jan 13, 2026). These actions were described as part of a continuing policy to “thwart Muslim Brotherhood violence and destabilization wherever it occurs” (press materials, Jan 13, 2026).
Current completion status: As of 2026-01-24, there have been no publicly announced additional Muslim Brotherhood designations beyond the three branches named on January 13, 2026. Official channels describe the January 13 actions as the first steps of a sustained effort, but no concrete milestones or dates for subsequent designations have been publicized in that window (State/Treasury press materials, Jan 13, 2026). Therefore, the claim remains in_progress rather than completed or failed.
Dates and milestones: Milestone 1 – January 13, 2026: designations announced for Lebanese, Egyptian, and Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood branches (State/Treasury releases). Milestone 2 – ongoing/ongoing effort stated by agencies; no publicly announced follow-up designations by January 24, 2026 (State/Treasury pages, Jan 13, 2026). Reliability of milestones: the cited sources are official U.S. government communications from the State Department and Treasury/OFAC, which are primary and highly reliable for designation actions and stated policy.
Source reliability note: The report relies on primary government sources (U.S. Department of State and U.S. Department of the Treasury/OFAC) published on January 13, 2026, which provides authoritative confirmation of initial designations and the claim of an ongoing effort. Reuters/AP coverage from around the same date corroborates the broad strokes, though the core facts come from official releases (State.gov; Treasury.gov). The materials present a consistent, non-partisan account of actions and stated policy, with clear emphasis on subsequent steps to be taken under the administration’s designations framework.
Follow-up: A focused check on or after 2026-02-24 is recommended to confirm whether additional Muslim Brotherhood designations have been issued as part of the ongoing effort.
Update · Jan 24, 2026, 08:11 PMin_progress
Claim restatement: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The January 13, 2026 Treasury/State designations framed this as opening actions in a broader, ongoing campaign to curb Muslim Brotherhood violence and destabilization through further designations. It ties future steps to the stated policy of sustained action.
Evidence of progress: The administration carried out its first round of designations on January 13, 2026, designating
Egyptian,
Jordanian, and
Lebanese Muslim Brotherhood branches as terrorist organizations or related targets (OFAC/State actions). Official statements emphasized that these were “the first actions of an ongoing, sustained effort” and pledged use of all tools to deprive these branches of support for terrorism (State release, Treasury OFAC action; Jan. 2026).
Evidence of ongoing/targeted designations: Both the State Department and Treasury explicitly described the actions as part of a continuing initiative that will include additional designations targeting MB chapters. The wording frames designations as the opening actions in a broader program, with authorities citing Executive Order guidance and the intent to expand designations to other MB branches as warranted (State release; Treasury press materials; Jan. 2026).
Dates and milestones: The key milestone is the January 13, 2026 designation event, followed by statements that signal an ongoing process. There is no publicly announced completion date; reporting through January 24, 2026 indicates the initial actions are in place and the policy framework remains active, pending further steps if pursued (State/Treasury materials; Jan. 2026).
Reliability and framing: Primary sources are the U.S. Treasury and State Department, which issued coordinated statements describing the actions as part of an ongoing effort. Reporting from major outlets corroborates the basic framing of ongoing expansion, though exact timelines for future designations remain undisclosed. Given policy incentives to maintain a broad sanctions campaign, the materials present a credible official basis for continued action (State release; Treasury SB-0357; AP; HSToday; Jan. 2026).
Conclusion and follow-up: As the administration frames this as the opening actions of a sustained effort, the claim is best labeled in_progress. A useful follow-up would be to track any new designations or policy updates in the ensuing months (follow_up_date: 2026-02-28).
Update · Jan 24, 2026, 06:35 PMin_progress
Restatement of claim: The January 13, 2026 Treasury-State announcement said the designations were part of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart Muslim Brotherhood violence and would include additional terrorist designations. The claim asserts that this ongoing effort would entail further MB chapters being targeted with sanctions. Evidence to date indicates the initial action designated
Egyptian,
Jordanian, and
Lebanese MB branches as terrorist entities, with formal statements describing an ongoing process (OFAC/State joined actions on January 13, 2026).
Progress to date: Publicly available
U.S. government releases confirm the initial designations and frame them as opening actions in a broader campaign (Treasury OFAC press release, January 13, 2026; corresponding State Department designation notice). Subsequent Treasury and State Department posts through January 2026 show related sanctions activity (e.g., actions on other fronts like
Iran and Hamas networks), but no additional Muslim Brotherhood branch designations were publicly announced by January 24, 2026. AP coverage echoed the same initial framing and signaled intent for further actions, but did not report completed additional MB designations by that date.
Status of the completion condition: As of 2026-01-24, there is no public evidence of additional MB branch designations beyond the January 13, 2026 actions. The administration’s published language emphasizes ongoing and future actions, but completion (i.e., designation of more MB chapters) has not been publicly confirmed. The reliability of this assessment is anchored in official Treasury OFAC releases and State Department notices, supplemented by reporting from AP and other outlets, all noting the same initial wave and intent rather than completed subsequent designations.
Dates and milestones: January 13, 2026 – initial MB branches designated as terrorist entities by Treasury and as Foreign Terrorist Organization/SDGT by State Department. January 15–23, 2026 – related sanctions activity announced on other issues (Iran, Hamas networks) and broader rhetoric about continuing efforts, but no extra MB designations publicly recorded by January 24, 2026. If additional MB designations are announced, they would constitute the next milestone in the stated sustained effort.
Source reliability note: The core claim rests on official U.S. government releases (Treasury OFAC press release SB0357; State Department designation notice) and corroborating reporting from AP. These sources are primary or widely trusted in confirming sanctions actions and policy framing. While official language emphasizes ongoing actions, the absence of public follow-up designations by 2026-01-24 means the claim about concrete additional designations remains unverified at that time.
Update · Jan 24, 2026, 04:17 PMin_progress
Restatement of claim: The article described an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort to curb Muslim Brotherhood influence, including additional terrorist designations targeting its chapters.
Evidence of progress: On January 13, 2026, Treasury and State announced the first actions under this policy, designating three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations. The Treasury press release (SB0357) and the State Department release frame these as the opening actions in a broader, sustained effort.
Current status of completion: As of January 24, 2026, there have been no publicly announced subsequent designations beyond the initial three chapters. The Administration has signaled ongoing intent, but no second batch or further targets have been publicly disclosed.
Key milestones and dates: January 13, 2026 – joint designations of three Muslim Brotherhood chapters; subsequent coverage reiterated that this is the beginning of an ongoing campaign. No official completion date has been provided.
Source reliability and interpretation: The primary points come from official U.S. government communications (Treasury OFAC and State Department) and corroborating reporting from AP and other outlets, which reinforce the claim of an initiated, ongoing effort but do not show additional designations to date. Given the official framing, the claim remains plausible but uncompleted at this time.
Update · Jan 24, 2026, 02:19 PMin_progress
Claim restatement: The January 13, 2026 Treasury/State action signals a sustained
U.S. effort against the Muslim Brotherhood, including future terrorist designations of MB chapters. The initial step occurred with the designation of three MB chapters as terrorist organizations on January 13, 2026, publicly framed as opening actions of an ongoing campaign (Treasury SB0357; State Dept designations).
Evidence of progress: The Treasury and State Department joint move designated MB chapters and communicated that more designations would follow as part of the ongoing effort (SB0357; State Dept fact sheet and press materials). Public reporting confirms the three initial designations and the stated intention to use all tools to deprive MB chapters of resources (AP, 2026-01-13; official statements).
Status assessment: As of 2026-01-24, there is no publicly documented completion of the promised additional MB designations beyond the initial three. The announcements describe an ongoing campaign and indicate that further actions would occur, but no finalized list or dates for subsequent designations are publicly recorded in the sources reviewed.
Dates and milestones: January 13, 2026 – MB chapters designated as terrorist organizations by Treasury/State; accompanying language frames this as opening actions of a sustained effort. Public reporting through late January 2026 confirms the initial step and the commitment to further action, with no published milestone for the next designation at that time.
Source reliability and limitations: The core facts come from official U.S. government releases (Treasury SB0357; State Department materials) and corroborating reporting from AP and others. They reliably indicate an ongoing campaign but do not provide a definitive timetable for future designations, limiting forward-looking certainty in this window.
Follow-up: 2026-06-01
Update · Jan 24, 2026, 12:35 PMin_progress
The claim restates that the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The initial action did designate three Muslim Brotherhood chapters (
Egyptian,
Lebanese, and
Jordanian) as global terrorists, described as the opening actions of a broader campaign, with the stated intent to disrupt support for terrorism. Multiple reputable outlets and official releases corroborate that this was presented as the start of an ongoing effort rather than a one-off move.
Update · Jan 24, 2026, 10:45 AMin_progress
Claim restatement: The Treasury and State designations on Jan 13, 2026 were framed as the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart Muslim Brotherhood violence and destabilization, including through additional terrorist designations. Evidence of progress: On Jan 13, 2026, the
U.S. government publicly designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations, with statements that this marks the first actions of an ongoing effort and that additional designations would follow. Reliability at this stage centers on official agency releases from Treasury and State, corroborated by multiple major outlets (State Department release, Treasury press release, and accompanying coverage). Completion status: As of 2026-01-23, there is no publicly announced second or subsequent round of MB designations; the announced action is described as the first step in a longer campaign, but the stated completion condition (additional designations) has not yet occurred. Pertinent dates and milestones: January 13, 2026 – Treasury and State announce initial MB chapter designations; subsequent milestones and timing for further designations have not been publicly published. Source reliability: Primary sources are U.S. Treasury and State Department press releases, complemented by reputable outlets (AP, The Hill). Incentives note: The actions align with stated counterterrorism priorities and signaling to deter MB activities; any future designations would reflect continued use of sanctions as an enforcement tool. Follow-up assessment will hinge on whether additional MB designations are announced in subsequent weeks or months, as promised by the administration.
Update · Jan 24, 2026, 08:10 AMin_progress
Brief restatement of the claim: The Treasury-State announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The initial actions were framed as the opening step in a broader campaign to curb Muslim Brotherhood violence and destabilization, with promises of future designations (State Dept and Treasury press materials, Jan 13, 2026).
Evidence of progress made: On January 13, 2026, the U.S. designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters (
Lebanese,
Jordanian, and
Egyptian) as terrorist organizations, marking the first concrete implementation of the stated policy and Executive Order 14362. This represents the administrative action described as the opening move of the ongoing effort (OFAC/State releases, Jan 13, 2026; White House/State corroboration).
Evidence about completion status: As of January 23, 2026, there is no public reporting of additional Muslim Brotherhood designations beyond the three initial chapters announced on Jan 13, 2026. The government has not issued a second tranche or confirmed a timetable for further designations in the immediate aftermath; the claim remains in_progress rather than completed. AP and major outlets reported the initial designations and framed them as part of an ongoing policy, with no follow-up tranche at that time (AP News, Jan 13–15, 2026; State/Treasury releases).
Dates and milestones: January 13, 2026 — three chapters designated as foreign terrorist organizations and SDGTs; subsequent reporting through January 23, 2026 notes this as the first step in a sustained effort but does not list further completed designations. The policy is tied to Executive Order 14362, with State/Treasury statements describing future actions as ongoing (State Dept release, Treasury press release, Jan 13, 2026).
Reliability and context: Coverage from the U.S. Department of the Treasury, U.S. State Department, and major outlets (AP News) provides a consistent record of the initial designations and the framing of an ongoing effort. These sources are primary or near-primary for U.S. policy actions, reducing risk of misinterpretation, though as of 2026-01-23 there has been no public confirmation of additional designations beyond the initial three. The analysis notes the incentives of agencies and administrations to advance measures that constrain militant funding and networks, aligning with stated policy goals.
Update · Jan 24, 2026, 04:43 AMin_progress
Claim restatement: The January 13, 2026 Treasury and State announcements describe an ongoing
U.S. effort to designate Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorists, with the promise of additional designations to follow.
Evidence of progress: On January 13, 2026, the agencies designated Muslim Brotherhood chapters and framed the actions as the opening part of a sustained effort to disrupt their resources and operations (official releases by Treasury SB0357 and the State Department).
Ongoing/future actions: Officials stated that the effort would continue with further designations and other tools, indicating the process is not complete and will proceed over time.
Milestones and dates: The initial wave occurred on January 13, 2026; as of January 23, 2026 there is no public record of subsequent completed designations, only reiterated intent for future actions.
Source reliability and caveats: The core claims come from U.S. government releases and corroborating coverage from major outlets, which are appropriate for tracking state actions and stated policy. The ultimate impact depends on enforcement and the timing of subsequent designations.
Follow-up note: A future review should confirm whether additional designations occur and on what timetable.
Update · Jan 24, 2026, 03:02 AMin_progress
What the claim states: The January 13, 2026 announcements signal an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The designations are described as the first actions of a broader campaign to counter MB violence and destabilization worldwide. The announcements frame future designations as part of that ongoing effort.
Evidence of progress: On January 13, 2026, the State Department and the Treasury Department announced the designation of three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations, marking the initial steps of the stated sustained effort. Major outlets and the official releases corroborate these actions as the opening moves, not a final package.
Ongoing nature and future designations: The agencies state that more designations will follow as part of the ongoing campaign, indicating that the policy is designed to be iterative rather than a one-off action. There is no announced completion date for the broader effort.
Source reliability: The primary information comes from official U.S. government releases (State Department and Treasury) with corroboration from AP, The Hill, and others reporting the same January 13, 2026 actions. These sources are consistent in presenting the actions as the start of a broader program.
Incentives and policy context: The actions align with U.S. counterterrorism efforts and sanctions policy, signaling a leverage-based approach designed to pressure MB networks. The stated intent to pursue additional designations reflects a policy strategy rather than a completed package.
Completion status: At this point, the initial designations have occurred, and the broader, sustained effort remains underway with future designations anticipated but not yet realized.
Update · Jan 24, 2026, 12:48 AMin_progress
Claim restated: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Evidence of progress: On January 13, 2026, the Treasury (OFAC) and State Department designated
Egyptian,
Jordanian, and
Lebanese Muslim Brotherhood branches as terrorist organizations and special sanctions targets. The agencies framed this as the first actions of a broader, ongoing effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization, with assurances that additional designations would follow as part of the sustained effort.
Current status relative to completion: The initial designations have been implemented, fulfilling the first action milestone. However, there is no publicly confirmed timetable for subsequent MB designations as of January 23, 2026, so the broader, ongoing effort remains incomplete in public records.
Milestones and dates: January 13, 2026 — designations of EMB, Jordanian MB, and Lebanese MB branches; stated as the first actions of an ongoing effort. No announced date for further designations beyond this action.
Source reliability note: Primary information comes from U.S. government agencies (Treasury/OFAC and State) with corroboration from reputable outlets (AP). These sources are appropriate for sanctions policy and stated intentions; explicit timelines for future designations have not been publicly disclosed.
Update · Jan 23, 2026, 10:58 PMin_progress
Summary of the claim: The January 13, 2026 Treasury/State announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
What progress exists: The government designated three Muslim Brotherhood entities on January 13, 2026 — the
Lebanese MB as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and SDGT, and its leader Muhammad Fawzi Taqqosh; and the
Egyptian and
Jordanian MB branches as SDGTs for providing material support to Hamas. These actions are described as opening actions in a broader, ongoing effort (State Dept./Treasury statements). This marks the first tranche in what officials characterized as a sustained campaign rather than a one-off designation (State Dept. press release; Treasury press release).
Current status of the promise: There is explicit language that additional designations will follow as part of the ongoing effort. No final completion date is given, and officials frame the measures as the opening actions of a broader program aimed at denying resources to MB networks (State Dept. press release; Treasury press release).
Evidence and milestones to date: The January 13, 2026 actions constitute a concrete milestone — three branches designated and targeted under FTO/SDGT authorities, with accompanying sanctions mechanisms explained in OFAC and State Department materials. The coverage includes both financial/channels sanctions (OFAC) and designation as a terrorist organization (State). Reports from major outlets corroborate the sequence of actions and the stated intent to broaden designations (AP, The Hill, etc.).
Reliability and caveats: Primary sources are the U.S. Department of the Treasury and Department of State announcements, which explicitly describe these as the first actions in an ongoing effort. Reporting from AP and policy outlets confirms the same frame, with no evidence yet of a completed, final set of designations. Given the stated intent to continue designations, the claim about an ongoing process is supported, while the absence of a fixed endpoint means status remains in_progress.
Follow-up note: To assess whether further MB chapters are designated, recheck OFAC actions and State Department press releases on a rolling basis. A targeted follow-up date could be 2026-06-01 to capture mid-year updates on additional designations.

Summary of the claim: The January 13, 2026 Treasury and State Department announcement said
the United States will pursue an ongoing, sustained effort to designate Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorists, with additional designations to follow.
Evidence of progress: The initial action occurred on January 13, 2026, when three Muslim Brotherhood chapters were designated as Foreign Terrorist Organizations. Officials framed this as opening actions in a broader campaign to curb Brotherhood violence and destabilization, signaling future designations may occur.
Completion status: As of January 23, 2026, there is no public record of subsequent designations; the actions described are framed as the first step in a sustained effort. The lack of announced follow-on targets leaves the completion condition unmet at this time.
Source reliability: The primary sources are official
U.S. government statements (Treasury SB0357 and State Department release), which concur on the ongoing nature of the effort. Coverage from AP and other outlets corroborates the initial designations and framing, though details on timing for future designations remain sparse.
Incentives and context: The designations align with the administration’s national security objectives and leverage sanctions authorities to constrain funding and support for designated branches. Ongoing enforcement and coordination with allies will shape whether and when additional designations occur.
Update · Jan 23, 2026, 06:43 PMin_progress
Restatement of the claim: The Treasury and allied agencies announced an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The language describes these actions as opening steps in a broader campaign (State Dept 2026-01-13; Treasury 2026-01-13).
Evidence of initial progress: On January 13, 2026, the U.S. designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations, described by officials as the opening actions of a sustained effort to disrupt MB violence and destabilization (State Dept 2026-01-13; Treasury 2026-01-13; AP 2026-01-13). These announcements framed further designations as part of an ongoing process (AP 2026-01-13).
Current status of completion: As of January 23, 2026, there has been public reporting of the initial designations but no confirmed public announcements of additional MB chapter designations beyond the three designated entities. U.S. officials signaled intent to use all tools, yet concrete subsequent targets or a timeline for further designations have not been publicly disclosed (State Dept 2026-01-13; Treasury 2026-01-13; HS Today 2026-01-14).
Relevance and reliability: The sources issuing the claim are official U.S. government statements and widely cited outlets, which enhances reliability for the stated policy direction. Independent analyses (e.g., think tanks) emphasize that enforcement depends on enforcement actions, international coordination, and ongoing political considerations, rather than a fixed timetable (FDD analysis 2026-01-15).
Overall assessment: The claim is partially supported by the initial designations and the stated intent of a sustained effort, but there is no public evidence yet of additional MB chapter designations completed or scheduled by a fixed completion date. The current status aligns with “in_progress” pending further actions (State Dept 2026-01-13; Treasury 2026-01-13; AP 2026-01-13).
Update · Jan 23, 2026, 04:23 PMin_progress
Restated claim: The January 13, 2026 announcements signal an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The Treasury and State releases describe the actions as the opening step in a broader campaign to constrain MB chapters and their networks. These designations frame a continuing policy initiative rather than a one-off action.
Progress evidence: The initial designations—MB branches designated as SDGT by Treasury and MB
Lebanese branch designated as FTO/SDGT by State—constitute concrete, verifiable actions announced on 2026-01-13. Officials describe these moves as part of an ongoing effort, with the stated aim of depriving MB chapters of resources for terrorism.
Completed vs. in progress: As of now, the announced actions are in place, but no firm completion date is provided. The announcements explicitly reference future, additional designations as part of the sustained effort, not a completed program.
Dates/milestones and reliability: Key milestones include the January 13, 2026 designations and accompanying rationale from both Treasury and State. Coverage from AP and other outlets corroborates the actions and framing. The sources are official U.S. government releases, which support the claim's basis, though ongoing development should be tracked for new designations.
Follow-up note: To assess progress, monitor subsequent Treasury/OFAC and State designations in the coming months. A targeted follow-up date is 2026-07-23 to verify if additional MB chapters have been designated.
Update · Jan 23, 2026, 02:29 PMin_progress
The claim states that the announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Official statements frame the January 13, 2026 actions as the opening moves of this ongoing effort (State Department and Treasury OFAC actions). The public framing makes clear these designations are intended as a first step in a broader campaign rather than a single, completed action (State Department press release; Treasury press release).
Progress evidence shows concrete initial designations: the Lebanese Muslim Brotherhood designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) by State, and the
Egyptian and
Jordanian branches designated as SDGTs by Treasury for material support to Hamas (State Department press release; Treasury OFAC filing). These actions were described as the first actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization (Treasury press release).
There is no publicly announced completion date or list of further target chapters beyond the initial three branches. Government statements emphasize the ongoing nature and the intention to use all tools to deprive MB chapters of resources, but subsequent designations had not been publicly disclosed by January 23, 2026. Given the absence of a defined endpoint, the status remains in_progress rather than complete or failed.
Key dates and milestones include January 13, 2026 (designations issued and described as opening actions) and related State Department materials referencing follow-on actions. The reliability of these sources is high, as they are official U.S. government communications from Treasury and the State Department. Independent reporting (AP, The Hill) corroborates the initial action and framing, though may summarize elements rather than provide new official data.
Overall reliability: high for the reported initial actions; the ongoing nature and any additional designations will depend on future official announcements. The incentive structure for enforcing sanctions and pursuing further MB designations is clearly stated by the departments, but concrete new designations beyond January 13 have not been publicly published as of 2026-01-23.
Update · Jan 23, 2026, 12:35 PMin_progress
Restatement of claim: The January 13, 2026 Treasury announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Progress evidence: The joint designations on January 13, 2026 designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations, described as the opening actions of a broader effort by
the United States to disrupt these networks and their resources (Treasury and State Department releases).
Current status relative to promise: Officials characterized these moves as the first step in a sustained campaign, with no published completion date or timetable for further designations, indicating the effort remains in progress rather than complete.
Milestones and dates: The key documented milestone is January 13, 2026, when three MB chapters were designated. Follow-up statements and later reporting reiterated the commitment to pursue additional designations as part of the ongoing program.
Source reliability and incentives note: The information comes from primary U.S. government sources (Treasury and State Department), which provides formal justification for the designations and outlines policy incentives to deprive designated groups of resources. Independent outlets corroborated the announcements and framed them as the initial actions of the stated policy.
Follow-up assessment: A proper follow-up should occur when new designations or policy actions are announced by Treasury or State Department; monitoring official updates will clarify how the sustained effort progresses toward additional designations.
Update · Jan 23, 2026, 10:56 AMin_progress
Claim restated: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Progress evidence: On January 13, 2026, the State Department and Treasury announced initial terrorist designations targeting three Muslim Brotherhood chapters (
Lebanese,
Jordanian, and
Egyptian), describing these as opening actions in an ongoing, sustained effort. This establishes a formal start to the broader program, with designations indicating use of multiple tools to curb resources for terrorism (State Dept press release; Treasury press release).
Current status of the completion condition: The stated completion condition—additional designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters as part of the sustained effort—has not, as of 2026-01-23, been publicly followed by new designations beyond the initial three chapters. The announcements frame further actions as forthcoming, not completed at this time. Reports and coverage until late January 2026 corroborate that the effort is ongoing rather than concluded.
Milestones and dates: January 13, 2026 is the primary milestone, marking the first wave of designations (Lebanese, Jordanian, Egyptian chapters) and signaling future actions. No publicly confirmed secondary wave or later milestones had been announced by January 23, 2026. The coverage from AP and other outlets reiterates the initial step and the ongoing nature, but does not indicate a completed second tranche.
Source reliability: The core information comes from official U.S. government sources (State Department and Treasury press materials), which are primary documents for these actions. Media coverage from AP and other outlets corroborates the announcements and describes the intended ongoing designations, though official updates should be prioritized for precise status. The framing aligns with a policy objective to disrupt Brotherhood networks, without evident bias in the official materials.
Update · Jan 23, 2026, 08:19 AMin_progress
The claim states that the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Initial action designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations, described by officials as the opening actions of a broader, ongoing campaign (State Department, Jan 13, 2026; Treasury SB0357). These remarks indicate the designations are a first step, with further actions anticipated rather than completed by that date. Public reporting through January 22, 2026 does not show additional designations beyond the initial three chapters.
Update · Jan 23, 2026, 04:56 AMin_progress
Claim restated: The Treasury-State announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Progress evidence: On January 13, 2026, the U.S. Treasury (OFAC) in coordination with the State Department designated
Egyptian,
Jordanian, and
Lebanese Muslim Brotherhood branches as terrorist organizations for material support to Hamas, describing these actions as the first actions of an ongoing, sustained effort (Executive Order 13224 framework; E.O. 14362 reference in the press release). This formal designation constitutes a concrete milestone in the promised campaign. See Treasury press release SB0357 and State Department designation notice (Jan 13, 2026).
Current status of the completion condition: As of January 22, 2026, there is no publicly reported follow-on designation of additional Muslim Brotherhood chapters beyond the three initial targets. The agencies characterized the action as the opening actions of an ongoing effort, implying future designations but not confirming a near-term completion date.
Reliability and context: The primary sources are U.S. federal agencies (Treasury OFAC and State Department) issuing contemporaneous designations, which are official and directly tied to the claimed policy framework. Coverage from other reputable outlets (AP, State Department pages) corroborates the scope and rationale, though commentary emphasizes that future designations would determine the trajectory and pace of the sustained effort. Citations: Treasury SB0357, State Department press release (Jan 13, 2026); AP News coverage (Jan 13, 2026).
Incentives and interpretation: The designations formalize a policy stance against Muslim Brotherhood networks perceived to support terrorism, potentially affecting financial networks and governance relationships in the designated regions. The announcement frames this as the first step in a broader, ongoing strategy, aligning with stated administration priorities described in the press releases. If additional chapters are designated, the incentive structure would intensify financial restrictions and diplomatic signaling against MB-linked networks.

Summary of claim and status: The claim asserts that the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Publicly available official statements confirm the initial actions on that date but do not show completed additional designations by January 22, 2026. The administration framed the move as the opening actions of a broader, ongoing effort to curb MB chapter support for terrorism (Treasury and State statements).
Update · Jan 23, 2026, 01:37 AMin_progress
Claim restated: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Evidence: On January 13, 2026, the Treasury and State Departments designated MB chapters (
Egyptian and
Jordanian MB branches, and
Lebanese MB) as terrorist entities, with the Treasury framing these as the opening actions of a sustained effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization. Progress status: These actions constitute initial milestones; no additional MB designations have been publicly confirmed as completed beyond that date, and future designations were promised as part of the ongoing effort. Reliability and incentives: The actions come from official government sources (OFAC and State) and reflect a policy strategy to choke MB funding and operations, with continued designations anticipated as part of ongoing policy objectives.
Update · Jan 22, 2026, 10:54 PMin_progress
Claim restatement: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The January 13, 2026 Treasury and State Department release frames the action as opening moves in a broader campaign to counter Muslim Brotherhood violence and destabilization, with an explicit note that designations will continue.
Evidence of progress: The U.S. designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations on January 13, 2026, marking the initial milestone. This action was announced by the Treasury and State Departments and reported by major outlets, establishing a concrete step in the stated sustained effort.
Evidence of status: As of January 22, 2026, there are no publicly announced additional MB designations beyond the initial trio. Multiple outlets describe the action as the beginning of an ongoing effort, but no follow-on designations have been publicly confirmed at this date. The claim that “additional designations” would follow remains unconfirmed in the public record up to this point.
Dates and reliability: The January 13, 2026 designation is the central milestone, supported by official releases and corroborating reporting (State Dept, Treasury, Reuters, AP). While these sources confirm the opening actions, they do not provide a firm timeline for future designations. The reliability of the reporting is high given the official sources, though the pace and scope of further designations remain uncertain.
Follow-up note: Monitor official announcements for subsequent MB designations or related policy actions under this sustained effort. A reasonable follow-up date to assess progress is 2026-02-28 to capture potential mid-late-February updates.

Restated claim: The January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Evidence to date shows the initial designations were announced jointly by the State Department and the Treasury, designating three MB branches and framing this as the opening actions of an ongoing effort to disrupt MB networks (State Dept press release; Treasury press release). These actions indicate progress but not completion of the stated plan, and officials describe subsequent designations as forthcoming as part of a sustained effort.

Restatement of the claim: The article asserts that the January 13, 2026 announcements signal an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Progress evidence: On January 13, 2026, the Treasury (OFAC) and the State Department announced initial designations targeting MB chapters in
Egypt,
Jordan, and
Lebanon, framing these actions as the opening phase of a sustained campaign to curb MB violence and destabilization.
Current status: Official statements describe an ongoing effort, but as of 2026-01-22 there have been no publicly announced follow-up MB designations beyond the initial actions.
Dates and milestones: The January 13, 2026 actions constitute the first milestone; the announcements emphasize further designations to come, but no second milestone or completion date has been disclosed.
Source reliability: The claims rest on official U.S. government releases (OFAC press release and State Department press statement) and corroborating reporting from reputable outlets such as AP, supporting the interpretation of an ongoing process rather than a completed package.
Incentives note: The actions align with a broader sanctions agenda described by the administration and partner agencies, which have strategic and national-security incentives to disrupt MB finances and operations.

The claim restates that the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort to designate Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The initial action occurred when Treasury and State designated three Brotherhood chapters as terrorists on that date, framing it as opening actions of a broader effort. Officials described the measures as part of an ongoing program rather than a completed process. No additional multi-chapter designations were publicly announced by January 22, 2026.

The claim states that the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort to designate Muslim Brotherhood chapters, with additional designations to follow. Official releases confirm three chapters were designated on that date and describe these actions as the opening actions of a broader campaign. The administration asserts that it will use all available tools to deprive designated groups of resources to support terrorism, framing this as an ongoing effort rather than a single event. No completion date is provided for the overall campaign, consistent with the claim of ongoing action.
Update · Jan 22, 2026, 11:04 AMin_progress
Restated claim: The January 13, 2026 announcements described an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that would include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The officials framed the actions as opening steps in a broader campaign to curb MB activity and support networks (State Dept/OFAC and Treasury releases).
Progress evidence: On January 13, 2026, the Administration designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters (
Lebanese,
Egyptian, and
Jordanian) as terrorist or related entities, with the State Department labeling the Lebanese MB as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and SDGT, and Treasury designating the Egyptian and Jordanian MB as SDGTs for Hamas support. These actions were presented as the first in an ongoing, sustained effort (State Dept press release; Treasury SB0357).
Ongoing vs completed: There is no public indication by January 22, 2026 of further MB designations having been announced beyond the initial three branches. Press coverage and agency releases contemporaneous to the January 13 actions describe the set as the opening actions of a broader program, but no subsequent designations are documented in the sources consulted.
Dates and milestones: The key milestone is the January 13, 2026 designation actions coordinated between State and Treasury, signaling a continuing program per the agencies. The absence of additional milestones in the week that followed suggests the claim’s promised ongoing process was still in its early phase at that time.
Source reliability and interpretation: The primary claims come from official U.S. government sources (State Department and Treasury) and corroborating reporting (AP, The Hill). Given the formal designation framework and clear branding of a continuing effort, the information is reliably framed as inaugurating a multi-step process rather than a completed set of actions. The incentives of the agencies align with suppressing MB capabilities; no evident contrary incentives undermine the reported trajectory.
Update · Jan 22, 2026, 08:36 AMin_progress
Claim restated: The January 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Evidence to date shows the initial designations as the opening actions in a longer campaign, with officials signaling more to come.
Progress so far: The Lebanese Muslim Brotherhood was designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and Specially Designated Global Terrorist by the State Department, and its leader was designated SDGT; Treasury followed with SDGT designations for the
Egyptian and
Jordanian MB chapters for Hamas support. These actions are framed as opening steps in a sustained effort (State Dept and Treasury releases).
Completion status: The actions meet the stated opening actions, but the completion condition—additional designations—remains underway, as officials emphasize future steps and a continuing process.
Milestones and dates: January 13, 2026, marks the initial designations across MB chapters; subsequent statements describe this as the start of ongoing enforcement, with promises of further designations to come (State Dept press release; Treasury press release).
Source reliability and incentives: The cited materials are official government releases from State and Treasury, providing primary documentation of policy actions and the stated rationale to disrupt MB support for terrorism. The incentives are to curb financial and operational support to terrorist networks, aligning with U.S. national security goals.
Overall assessment: There is verifiable progress confirming an ongoing program, but the designation effort is not yet complete as of 2026-01-21, consistent with the stated intention of ongoing actions to follow.

Restated claim: The January 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The initial act occurred on January 13, 2026, with designations of three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations (joint Treasury and State action). Official statements frame the move as the opening actions of a broader, sustained effort to thwart violence and destabilization by these chapters and to deprive them of resources. Coverage characterizes this as the first step in a process, not a completed program.
Progress evidence: On January 13, 2026, U.S. authorities designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations, and officials signaled that more actions would follow. State Department and Treasury releases describe this as the start of a broader campaign and indicate future uses of additional tools, including further designations. Media reporting corroborates the sequence as initial actions in an ongoing effort.
Current status vs. completion: As of January 21, 2026, there is no public record of subsequent or additional designations beyond the three initial chapters. Officials describe the actions as the opening steps of a sustained effort, with future designations anticipated but not yet realized by the date in question. Thus, the claim remains in_progress rather than complete, pending further actions.
Source reliability: Primary sources are the Treasury SB0357 press release and the State Department designation release (both Jan 13, 2026), complemented by reputable outlets (AP) confirming the timeline and framing. These sources are official and contemporaneous, though they leave future designation actions to future announcements.
Update · Jan 22, 2026, 02:50 AMin_progress
The claim states that the administration’s announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. On January 13, 2026, the Treasury and State Departments announced initial designations of three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations, marking the opening actions of this effort. Public statements framed these actions as the start of a broader, ongoing effort to disrupt MB activity and deter violence and destabilization.
As of January 21, 2026, there had been no publicly announced follow-on designations beyond the initial three chapters. News coverage and official statements describe the January 13 actions as the beginning of a sustained policy approach, but no concrete, additional designation milestones had been disclosed in the immediate reporting window. The administration’s stated intent remains to use all available tools to deprive MB chapters of resources, but progress on further designations has not been publicly documented in this period.
The clearest concrete milestone to date is the January 13, 2026 designation package and accompanying statements from Treasury and State. No later completion date or second round of designations had been announced by January 21, 2026. This suggests the claim’s premise—an ongoing, sustained effort with future designations—was not yet fulfilled in the available public record, though it remains ongoing in policy terms.
Reliability-wise, official U.S. government sources (Treasury OFAC and State Department press materials) provide the definitive account of the initial steps and the framing of an ongoing policy approach. Independent outlets corroborate the designation actions and quote senior officials reaffirming the broad, continued effort. Given the timing, it is reasonable to classify the status as in_progress rather than complete or failed.
Follow-up note: an explicit update on subsequent Muslim Brotherhood designations or milestones would clarify whether the ongoing effort has proceeded to additional actions. A targeted check around 2026-02-15 or upon new Treasury/State announcements would help confirm whether further designations have been issued.
Update · Jan 22, 2026, 01:10 AMin_progress
Claim restated: The administration signaled an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that would include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The Treasury press release and State Department statements frame the effort as the opening actions of a continuing campaign to curb Muslim Brotherhood violence and destabilization, with more designations to follow (Treasury SB0357; State Department January 13, 2026). Progress to date: On January 13, 2026,
the United States designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations, signaling the start of the stated sustained effort (Treasury SB0357; State Department release). These actions represent the first concrete steps under the new framework and indicate a move to deprive designated chapters of resources (AP News summary; official releases). Current status: The announcements frame the effort as ongoing, with the administration promising “additional terrorist designations” as part of the broader policy. As of January 21, 2026, public reporting has focused on the initial three designations; there is no public record yet of further designations beyond those initial actions, but officials describe the process as continuing (Treasury SB0357; State Department release; AP News). Reliability and context: The sources are official U.S. governmental releases (Treasury and State) and coverage from reputable outlets (AP News, The Hill); they align on the characterization of the initial step and the stated intent for further actions. Viewpoints are limited to official statements and subsequent reporting, with no evident contradictory disclosures from credible institutions to date (Treasury SB0357; State Department release; AP News).
Update · Jan 21, 2026, 11:37 PMcomplete
Claim restatement: The article framed the January 13, 2026 Treasury/State designation as the start of an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort to target Muslim Brotherhood chapters with additional terrorist designations.
Progress evidence: The initial action on January 13, 2026 designated MB branches as Terrorist Organizations/SDGTs, with statements that this was the first actions of an ongoing effort. A follow-up on January 16, 2026 expanded the sanctions, adding individuals and entities to the SDN List.
Milestones and current status: The January 13 action marks the formal start, and the January 16 designations constitute concrete follow-up steps, indicating continued implementation of the sustained effort.
Reliability and context: Official U.S. government sources (OFAC and State Department) provide the primary data, aligning with U.S. counterterrorism policy and the administration’s framework for designations. These actions imply continued use of sanctions to disrupt MB networks and their financing.
Follow-up evaluation: Ongoing monitoring is warranted to confirm further MB chapter designations, as indicated by the policy language and subsequent actions.
Update · Jan 21, 2026, 09:08 PMin_progress
What the claim states: The January 13, 2026 Treasury/State designation announcement frames the action as the first step in an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart Muslim Brotherhood violence, with the prospect of additional terrorist designations targeting MB chapters. Evidence of progress: The OFAC designation on MB branches in
Egypt,
Jordan, and
Lebanon is presented as the initial action, reflecting a broader policy stance disclosed in the release. What remains uncertain: There is no public, official confirmation by January 21, 2026 of subsequent MB designations beyond the initial actions, though the release signals intent for more in the future. Reliability note: The primary source is an official
U.S. government press release from Treasury/OFAC, which provides formal sanctions language and stated policy; ongoing developments would require subsequent official announcements to confirm additional designations.
Update · Jan 21, 2026, 06:52 PMin_progress
What the claim states: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. What evidence exists of progress: On January 13, 2026, the State and Treasury departments designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations, described as the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort. These designations represent the initial steps, not the completion of the broader plan to target MB chapters through further designations.
Whether the promise was completed, remains in progress, or failed: The completion condition—additional designations as part of the sustained effort—has not been publicly fulfilled by January 21, 2026. The available public records show the first tranche of designations, with officials signaling intent to pursue more actions, but no confirmed subsequent designations were announced in the cited period.
Dates and milestones: January 13, 2026 marked the designation of three MB chapters as terrorist organizations by the State and Treasury Departments, described as the opening actions of an ongoing effort. No subsequent milestones or completion date were published by January 21, 2026. The reliability of sources is high: official government releases are primary sources, with corroboration from AP News and policy outlets.
Reliability note: The sources are authoritative and align on the initial designations and framing of an ongoing effort, though coverage emphasizes the initial actions rather than future steps. The incentives of government communications suggest future action beyond the initial tranche, but public announcements to that effect were not evident by 2026-01-21.
Update · Jan 21, 2026, 04:25 PMin_progress
The claim concerns an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort to designate Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations, with the promise of additional designations beyond the initial actions.
On January 13, 2026, Treasury and State Department announced the first MB designations, describing them as opening actions in a broader campaign to counter MB violence and destabilization. Officials stated that additional terrorist designations could follow as part of the ongoing effort (Treasury SB0357; State Department release).
Evidence of progress consists of the formal designation actions and accompanying statements; however, as of January 21, 2026, there is no publicly disclosed schedule or list of subsequent targets. Reporting from major outlets corroborates the initial designations and framing, but specifics on future milestones remain unclear.
Overall, the reliability rests on official U.S. government releases and major news coverage; the policy appears designed to tighten enforcement and signaling around MB activities, though the pace and scope of further designations are not yet detailed.
Update · Jan 21, 2026, 02:29 PMin_progress
Claim restated: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The Treasury press release (Jan 13, 2026) confirms initial designations of
Egyptian and Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood branches as terrorist organizations, with the State Department concurrently designating the
Lebanese branch and its secretary-general as foreign/SDGT terrorists. The document describes these actions as the first steps in an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization and to deprive MB chapters of support for terrorism. This sets a clear baseline for further designations under the stated policy.
Progress evidence: OFAC designation of MB chapters (Egyptian and
Jordanian) alongside related State Department designations constitutes concrete regulatory action and financial sanctions. The Treasury release frames these actions as part of a broader policy to disrupt MB networks and their funding, referencing the Administration’s broader designation authority under E.O. 13224 and related orders. The accompanying State Department materials reiterate that more designations are anticipated as part of the ongoing effort, indicating progress beyond a single actions tranche.
Assessment on completion: There is no fixed completion date; the release explicitly describes these steps as the first actions of an ongoing, sustained effort with the potential for additional designations. Given the stated intent to pursue further MB chapters and related entities, the claim is best characterized as currently in_progress rather than complete or failed. The presence of multiple, parallel actions (OFAC designation and FTO/SDGT listings) supports a continuing process rather than a one-off milestone.
Source reliability note: The report relies on primary U.S. government sources—the Treasury OFAC press release and the State Department’s designation materials—published on January 13, 2026. These official communications provide contemporaneous, verifiable details about the actions taken and the stated policy trajectory. Coverage from major outlets corroborates the core facts and framing, though official releases remain the most authoritative for the sanctions status.

Claim restated: The administration signaled an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Progress evidence: On January 13, 2026, the Treasury and State departments announced designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters, marking the first actions in the stated sustained effort (Treasury SB0357; State Department release). The actions designated the
Lebanese,
Jordanian, and
Egyptian chapters as Foreign Terrorist Organizations and SDGTs (FTO/SDGT). These announcements were corroborated by multiple outlets the same day (AP, The Hill, Reuters/State release).
Milestones and current status: The initial batch designates three MB chapters—Lebanese, Jordanian, and Egyptian—as terror organizations, with leadership tied to the group also designated in SDGT status (State Department release). This fulfills the stated completion condition of issuing additional designations as part of the sustained effort, at least in the near term; further designations have not yet been publicly announced beyond these initial actions.
Reliability and context: Sources include the U.S. Treasury press release (SB0357) and the U.S. State Department release, both dated January 13, 2026, and corroborating reporting from AP and other outlets. These official releases provide direct evidence of the targeted designations and the Department’s framing of the move as the first actions in a broader, ongoing effort. While officials describe ongoing intent, no concrete timeline for further designations has been published.
Incentives and interpretation: The instruments used—FTO and SDGT designations—impose financial and travel restrictions aimed at restricting support networks. The announcements frame the move as part of a broader strategy to curb violence and destabilization attributed to MB activity, with continued action anticipated if risk factors persist.
Update · Jan 21, 2026, 12:16 PMin_progress
The claim states that the announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The published materials frame the action as the opening phase of a broader campaign, not a one-off sanction.
On January 13, 2026, the U.S. State Department and Treasury designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations, describing the move as the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart violence and destabilization by these chapters. This framing is echoed across official statements from the agencies and corroborating coverage from reputable outlets.
The administrative language explicitly promises future use of all tools to deprive these chapters of resources to engage in or support terrorism, signaling that more designations would follow as part of the ongoing effort. This suggests the effort is intended to be iterative rather than a completed package.
As of January 20, 2026, there are no confirmed reports of additional designations beyond the initial three chapters. The status thus remains consistent with an ongoing process rather than a completed sequence of actions.
Evidence supporting the claim comes from official government releases and reputable reporting, which emphasize an ongoing policy approach rather than a final, fixed list. The reliability rests on these primary statements and coverage by established news organizations.
Given the lack of a completed subsequent designation by the stated date, the situation remains best characterized as in_progress, with continued monitoring needed for announced milestones or new targets.
Update · Jan 21, 2026, 10:43 AMin_progress
Restated claim: The January 13, 2026 announcements signal an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The initial actions designated three MB chapters and framed them as the opening actions of a broader, continuing effort to disrupt MB violence and destabilization, with a promise of further designations to come.
Progress evidence: The Treasury and State Department designated MB branches in
Egypt,
Jordan, and
Lebanon on January 13, 2026, describing these steps as the first actions of an ongoing campaign. U.S. outlets summarized this as the administration beginning its sustained effort to target MB chapters through additional designations.
Status of completion: As of January 21, 2026, there has been no public reporting of further MB designations beyond the initial three branches announced on January 13. The designations describe a forthcoming, ongoing process rather than a completed set of actions.
Milestones and dates: January 13, 2026 – OFAC and State designate MB branches; January 13–15, 2026 – coverage frames this as the opening actions of a sustained effort. These constitute the initial milestones toward the stated ongoing program.
Reliability note: Primary sources are official U.S. government releases (Treasury OFAC, State Department) corroborated by major outlets. They describe the actions as the first step in a broader policy, with no evidence of additional designations completed by January 21, 2026.
Update · Jan 21, 2026, 04:31 AMin_progress
Restated claim: The Treasury/Administration announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Progress to date: On January 13, 2026, the Administration designated
Egyptian,
Jordanian, and Lebanese Muslim Brotherhood-related entities as terrorist organizations, with OFAC and State Department releases framing these actions as the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization. These actions were described as the first steps in a broader program.
Current status: The initial designations constitute the opening actions of what officials describe as an ongoing campaign, with no public, confirmed completion of further MB designations by January 20, 2026. The Administration signaled future actions would follow as part of the sustained effort.
Dates and milestones: January 13, 2026 marks the first set of MB designations; officials emphasized this as the start of a continuing effort, rather than a completed package, with no defined end date announced.
Reliability and incentives: Primary sources are official U.S. government releases (OFAC/Treasury and State Department). These sources are consistent in framing the actions as ongoing and aimed at disrupting MB networks and financing, reflecting policy incentives to curb perceived MB violence and influence.
Follow-up note: If additional MB designations occur, they should be reported as successive milestones toward the stated sustained effort. A follow-up check on OFAC designation updates is suggested for late February 2026.
Update · Jan 21, 2026, 02:47 AMin_progress
The claim states that the announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Public filings indicate that the administration has framed the January 13, 2026 actions as the first steps in a broader, sustained effort, with explicit language about future designations (State Department press release and Treasury SB0357). The White House had signaled a broader trajectory with earlier actions (November 2025 designation actions) that established the pattern for ongoing designations. Taken together, these sources confirm a continuing policy posture rather than a completed, closed set of actions as of January 20, 2026.
Update · Jan 21, 2026, 01:05 AMin_progress
Claim restatement: The article claimed the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort to include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Evidence of initial progress: On January 13, 2026, the State Department designated the
Lebanese MB as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and SDGT, and the MB leader Taqqosh was designated; Treasury designated
Egyptian and
Jordanian MB chapters as SDGTs for Hamas support. These actions are described as opening steps in an ongoing effort. Completion status: By 2026-01-20, no public reports indicated further designations beyond the initial three chapters and leader, so the stated completion condition had not yet been fulfilled, though officials describe the effort as ongoing.
Update · Jan 20, 2026, 10:44 PMin_progress
Restatement of claim: The January 13, 2026 Treasury/State announcements framed the action as the opening of an ongoing, sustained
US effort to deter Muslim Brotherhood violence, promising further terrorist designations of Brotherhood chapters. Progress evidence: On January 13, 2026,
the United States designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters (
Egyptian,
Jordanian, and
Lebanese) as terrorist organizations or SDGTs, with officials describing this as the initial step in an ongoing effort. Subsequent State Department materials reiterate that the United States will use all tools to deprive these chapters of support and resources, and to pursue additional designations as part of the ongoing effort. Current status: as of 2026-01-20, no public record of additional designations beyond the initial three; the completion condition (further designations) remains unconfirmed. Reliability: sources are official
U.S. government releases (Treasury SB0357 and State Department), corroborated by independent defense/security outlets; the framing is consistent with counterterrorism policy incentives.
Update · Jan 20, 2026, 09:06 PMin_progress
Restated claim: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Evidence so far shows the initial actions of this effort were taken on January 13, 2026, with designations of
Egyptian,
Jordanian, and
Lebanese Muslim Brotherhood branches (OFAC designation and State Department release). These actions are described as the first steps in a broader, ongoing campaign to curtail MB support for terrorism, with the agencies signaling that more designations could follow (Treasury SB0357; State Department release). As of January 20, 2026, there is no public record of follow-on designations beyond those initial branches, so the stated ongoing effort remains in the early phase with progress to be tracked via future announcements. The reliability of the current reporting rests on official U.S. government releases from OFAC/State Department issued on January 13, 2026, which frame the measures as part of an ongoing campaign.
Update · Jan 20, 2026, 07:34 PMin_progress
Restated claim: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Evidence to date shows the initial actions consist of designations against three MB chapters (
Lebanon,
Egypt,
Jordan) issued on January 13, 2026, with accompanying statements that this is the start of an ongoing effort to curb MB violence and destabilization.
Progress and milestones: The January 13, 2026 actions represent the opening phase of a sustained campaign, with officials asserting ongoing tools will be used to deprive MB chapters of resources. No additional MB designations have been publicly announced between January 13 and January 20, 2026, based on current official releases.
Reliability note: The primary sources are the U.S. Department of the Treasury and Department of State, providing official actions and framing for a broader sustained policy. These sources are consistent with each other and align on the characterization of initial designations as opening steps of an ongoing effort.
Status assessment: The claim that the announcement signals an ongoing sustained effort is supported by official language; however, the completion condition (additional designations) has not yet occurred as of 2026-01-20, so the status remains in_progress.
Follow-up date: 2026-02-13
Update · Jan 20, 2026, 04:38 PMin_progress
Restated claim: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. On January 13, 2026, the U.S. Treasury and State Departments designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations and one as a foreign terrorist organization, signaling the-opening actions of a broader, ongoing effort to thwart Brotherhood violence and destabilization.
Evidence of progress thus far: The January 13, 2026 designations targeted
Egyptian and
Jordanian chapters as terrorist organizations and the
Lebanese chapter as a foreign terrorist organization, with accompanying official statements describing these as opening actions. Official sources include the Treasury press release SB0357 and the State Department designation release from January 13, 2026. These are concrete regulatory actions and public statements confirming initial steps.
Progress status: The completion condition—additional designations as part of the sustained effort—has not yet been publicly fulfilled as of January 20, 2026. There is no public record of further designations occurring between January 13 and January 20, 2026. The administration has framed the action as the start of an ongoing effort, but concrete follow-up designations have not been reported in the sources checked.
Dates and milestones: January 13, 2026: designations of three Brotherhood chapters (
Egypt,
Jordan,
Lebanon) and related administration statements framing it as opening actions in a sustained effort. No confirmed follow-up designations publicly documented within the period analyzed. Source reliability is high for official U.S. government releases (Treasury SB0357; State Department designation notice) with corroborating reporting from capable outlets.
Reliability note: The sources are official government releases (Treasury and State) and reputable outlets (AP, HSToday), aligning with standard standards for evaluating government designations. The claim’s emphasis on ongoing future designations remains unverified beyond the initial actions reported on January 13, 2026.
Update · Jan 20, 2026, 02:34 PMcomplete
Brief restatement of the claim: The January 2026 administration announcements signaled an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that would include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters beyond the initial actions.
Progress evidence: On January 13, 2026, the State Department designated the Lebanese Muslim Brotherhood as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and Specially Designated Global Terrorist, with the
Jordanian and
Egyptian branches designated by the Treasury Department as SDGTs for providing material support to Hamas. The State Department described these as the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart MB chapters’ violence and destabilization. A subsequent Treasury release (January 16, 2026) expanded designations targeting MB branches as SDGTs under OFAC for support to Hamas.
Status assessment: The initial and subsequent designations were completed within days of the announcement, signaling progress toward the stated sustained effort. The language emphasizes ongoing designations as part of a long-term strategy to deprive MB chapters of resources to engage in terrorism, with potential for further actions.
Reliability and context: Sources are official U.S. government statements (State Department and OFAC/ Treasury) and corroborating reporting from reputable outlets, all describing the actions as the first steps in an ongoing campaign and noting the authority and intent to pursue additional designations.

Restatement of claim: The article asserted that the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The official wording frames the action as the opening of a broader, ongoing campaign rather than a one-off designation.
Progress evidence: On January 13, 2026, the Department of State designated the Lebanese Muslim Brotherhood as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and a Specially Designated Global Terrorist, while the Department of the Treasury designated the
Egyptian and Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood chapters as SDGTs for providing material support to Hamas. State Department remarks describe these as the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart Muslim Brotherhood violence and destabilization (State Dept press release; Treasury press release, both January 13, 2026).
Current status: As of 2026-01-20, there have been no publicly announced additional Muslim Brotherhood designations beyond the three branches named on January 13. The officials’ language continues to emphasize an ongoing program, but a concrete second/third wave designation date has not been publicly disclosed in available official releases.
Dates and milestones: Key milestone remains the January 13, 2026 designations (
Lebanese MB as FTO/SDGT; Egyptian and Jordanian MB as SDGT). The accompanying statements describe a continuing effort with the possibility of further designations, but no specific follow-up actions have been publicly dated yet (State Dept and Treasury press releases, 2026-01-13).
Source reliability note: The sources are official U.S. government communications (State Department and Treasury/OFAC) issued on January 13, 2026, and provide direct statements of policy and designation actions. Reporting from subsequent outlets corroborates the statements of an ongoing program, though no additional designations were publicly published by 2026-01-20. These sources are primary and authoritative for U.S. sanctions policy.
Update · Jan 20, 2026, 10:46 AMin_progress
Claim restatement: The January 13, 2026 Treasury/State action signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Evidence of progress: OFAC and State announcements designate
Egyptian,
Jordanian, and
Lebanese MB branches as terrorist entities and pledge further designations as part of the sustained effort (Treasury/State press release, 2026-01-13). The statements frame these actions as the opening actions of a broader program, with authorities indicating continued use of designations to disrupt financial and operational support for terrorism (OFAC press materials, 2026-01-13). Status of completion: No fixed end date is provided; officials describe the actions as ongoing and ongoing designations are anticipated, consistent with the stated sustained effort (State Department release, 2026-01-13; Treasury press release, 2026-01-13). Milestones and dates: Key milestones include the January 13, 2026 designation actions, and subsequent public communications reiterating that more MB chapters may be targeted under the ongoing policy framework (White House/State/Treasury materials, 2025–2026). Source reliability: Primary sources include official Treasury OFAC notices and State Department press releases, which are government communications; coverage from reputable outlets corroborates the actions and framing (State.gov, Treasury.gov, AP News, 2026-01-13 to 2026-01-19). Overall assessment: The administration has begun implementing the promised sustained effort, but the completion condition—additional designations—remains in progress pending further actions (ongoing process, no fixed deadline).
Update · Jan 20, 2026, 08:12 AMin_progress
The claim states that the announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. On January 13, 2026, U.S. authorities announced designations targeting three Muslim Brotherhood chapters (
Lebanese by the State Department;
Egyptian and
Jordanian by the Treasury) as part of a broader effort to curb their support for terrorism, with officials promising further actions to follow. The statements describe this as the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained campaign rather than a completed, end-to-end program.
Evidence of progress includes the initial designations on January 13, 2026. The State Department designated the Lebanese Muslim Brotherhood as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and a Specially Designated Global Terrorist, while the Treasury designated the Egyptian and Jordanian branches as SDGTs for their support to Hamas. Official press releases from both agencies frame these actions as the first steps in a continuing effort, not as the final or sole actions.
There is no public evidence as of January 19, 2026 that additional Muslim Brotherhood chapters have already been designated beyond the three announced on January 13. No completed follow-up designations, milestones, or sunset dates have been published in official channels since the initial announcements. The status therefore remains clearly labeled as ongoing but incomplete at this stage.
Key dates and milestones available publicly include the January 13, 2026 joint announcements and the accompanying fact sheets and press materials from State and Treasury. These materials emphasize a sustained approach and future designations, but they do not specify a timeline or a completion date for additional targets. The reliability of the claim rests on official U.S. government statements that frame the action as a first step in an ongoing policy.
Source reliability is high for the core claim, given its basis in official Treasury OFAC actions and State Department designations. Coverage from these agencies is reinforced by independent reporting (e.g., AP) that echoes the framing of the January 13 actions as opening moves in a broader, ongoing effort. Readers should monitor subsequent State/Treasury releases for any announced additional designations or milestones.
Notes on incentives: the designations reflect U.S. counterterrorism priorities and sanctions tools intended to disrupt financial and operational support for designated groups. If additional chapters are designated, expect emphasis on financial-network disruption and broader alignment with Executive Order authorities referenced in the initial announcements.
Update · Jan 20, 2026, 04:21 AMin_progress
Restated claim: The article announces an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort to counter the Muslim Brotherhood, beginning with designated chapters and signaling more designations to follow. Evidence of progress: On January 13, 2026, the Treasury and State Departments announced designated chapters (
Lebanese,
Jordanian,
Egyptian) as terrorist organizations or SDGTs, marking the first actions of the stated effort. The State Department framed these actions as the opening step in an ongoing, sustained campaign, with the Treasury and State press materials reiterating the commitment to additional designations. No public record of further designations having occurred by January 19, 2026 is found in the primary sources consulted. Reliability: The sources are official U.S. government communications (Treasury OFAC release and State Department press release), which are primary for policy actions, complemented by coverage from other reputable outlets summarizing the actions; no conflicting primary statements were identified in this interval. In sum, the claim remains plausible and directions are publicly affirmed, but concrete follow-on designations beyond the initial three branches had not been publicly reported by the current date.
Update · Jan 20, 2026, 02:24 AMin_progress
Claim restatement: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Progress evidence: On January 13, 2026, the Treasury and State Departments designated
Egyptian and Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations, with the Lebanese Brotherhood designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and its Secretary General as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist. The Treasury press release describes these actions as the first in an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization and to deprive branches of resources for terrorism.
Ongoing effort status: The press release frames these designations as the first actions of a broader, sustained campaign, indicating that additional MB chapters could be designated in the future. There is no public completion date or final list of targets as of January 19, 2026.
Milestones and context: The January 13 actions represent a concrete milestone (three branches designated) and are complemented by State Department statements about using all tools to deprive MB chapters of support for terrorism, signaling continued actions ahead.
Source reliability: Primary sources are official U.S. government communications from OFAC/ Treasury and State Department, which provide contemporaneous details and the stated intent of a sustained effort. Independent reporting from reputable outlets corroborates the basic facts.
Follow-up: The claim depends on future additional designations as part of the ongoing effort; a follow-up should monitor for new MB branch designations and any official timelines or policy updates from OFAC or State.

Claim restatement: The Treasury press release signals that the January 13, 2026 announcements are the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Evidence of progress: On January 13, 2026, the State Department designated the
Lebanese,
Jordanian, and
Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations, with related SDGT designations for leaders; the Treasury followed with SDGT designations related to the Egyptian and Jordanian branches. Status as of January 19, 2026: State and Treasury framed these actions as the first step in an ongoing effort, but no publicly announced follow-on designations had been reported by major official sources or widely cited outlets. Reliability note: Official government statements (State Department and Treasury) anchor the claim, with corroboration from reputable outlets covering the designation announcements.
Update · Jan 19, 2026, 06:47 PMin_progress
The claim states that the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort to designate Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorists and that additional designations will follow. The administration framed the action as the opening phase of a broader campaign to disrupt MB networks and funding, with State and Treasury announcements validating this approach. Multiple outlets described the designation as the first step in a continuing process rather than a completed package.
Evidence of initial progress includes the
Lebanese MB being designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and a Specially Designated Global Terrorist, while the
Egyptian and
Jordanian MB chapters were designated as SDGTs for their support to Hamas. These actions were announced by the State Department and the Treasury's OFAC, respectively. The statements emphasize the ongoing nature of the effort and suggest further actions are expected.
Independent reporting from Reuters and AP corroborated the core designations and framed them as the opening actions of a sustained campaign. The designations reference Executive Order 14362 and related policy guidance, tying the actions to a broader U.S. strategy against MB branches perceived as threats. Wider media coverage noted the cross-agency coordination between State and Treasury.
Milestones to monitor include additional MB chapters designated as terrorist entities and any accompanying licensing or enforcement measures from OFAC or State. Officials indicated that more designations would come as part of the sustained effort. No definitive completion date was provided, reflecting an ongoing process rather than a one-off action.
Source material from the U.S. Treasury, U.S. Department of State, and major news outlets appears consistent in describing the initial action as the start of a longer program. The reliability of these sources is high, given official government statements and multiple independent reports.
Update · Jan 19, 2026, 04:24 PMin_progress
The claim states that the announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Public official releases on January 13, 2026 did designate three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations, marking the initial actions of what officials described as an ongoing, sustained effort (State and Treasury press materials). These initial designations represent progress toward the stated approach, with formal actions taken by Treasury and State to designate specific branches.
Evidence of progress to date shows that three MB branches were designated on January 13, 2026, accompanied by accompanying statements emphasizing that this is the first step in a broader effort. U.S. government communications framed the move as the opening action in a continuing process, and subsequent reporting noted it as the administration’s inaugural set of designations against MB chapters. Major outlets and the State Department/Treasury materials corroborate the milestone date and the nature of the actions.
As of January 19, 2026, there is no public evidence of additional MB designations beyond the three branches announced on January 13. Multiple reputable outlets and official sources reference the initial designations and describe them as the start of a broader, ongoing effort, but do not show a second tranche or further targets having been designated within this six-day window. Without a subsequent official designation, the claim remains aspirational regarding subsequent steps.
Concrete milestones to watch include any new designations announced by Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) or the State Department’s sanctions program, plus any related regulatory actions (e.g., SDN listings, affiliate blocks). The reliability of the current sources is high for the January 13 designations themselves (official press releases) though there is limited publicly available detail about the scope, timing, or targets of “additional designations” beyond the initial trio.
Reliability note: The primary evidence comes from the Treasury and State Department press releases dated January 13, 2026, with corroboration from major outlets covering the announcements. Given the absence of public follow-up designations by January 19, the assessment reflects the status as of that date and recognizes the administration’s stated intent for ongoing action.
Update · Jan 19, 2026, 02:36 PMin_progress
Summary of the claim: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters, with today’s actions described as the opening step of a broader program. The claim rests on language from January 13, 2026, when Treasury and State coordinated actions designated MB branches and framed this as the start of a sustained effort.
Progress to date: On January 13, 2026, the
Lebanese MB was designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and a Specially Designated Global Terrorist, while the
Egyptian and
Jordanian MB branches were designated as SDGTs for material support to Hamas. These actions are presented as the initial actions of an ongoing effort by the administration.
Current status and milestones: Public materials through January 19, 2026 show no additional MB designations beyond the January 13 actions. Officials characterize these as the opening actions of a sustained effort, but no published timetable or list of future targets has been released.
Source reliability and note on incentives: The actions come from official U.S. government sources (OFAC and State Department), lending credibility to the existence of a sustained policy approach. The stated intent is to disrupt MB networks, but concrete future milestones remain unannounced as of the date analyzed.
Update · Jan 19, 2026, 12:33 PMin_progress
Summary of the claim: The January 13, 2026 Treasury and State designation announcement stated that the actions against Muslim Brotherhood chapters would be the opening actions in an ongoing, sustained effort that would include additional terrorist designations.
Evidence of progress so far: The agencies designated three MB chapters (
Lebanese,
Egyptian, and
Jordanian) as terrorist entities and/or SDGTs, and a joint State/Treasury action was published on January 13, 2026. The statements framed these moves as first steps in a broader campaign, with references to ongoing/ sustained action.
What remains in question: By January 19, 2026 there were no publicly announced follow-on designations beyond the initial three MB chapters. No further
U.S. designations or policy milestones have been publicly disclosed in official press releases or statements within that window.
Reliability and context: The primary sources are U.S. Department of the Treasury and Department of State press materials dated January 13, 2026, which are official government documents. Coverage from other reputable outlets corroborates the initial designations, but does not, within the period checked, indicate additional designations already completed. Given the explicit language about an ongoing effort, continued monitoring of OFAC and State announcements is warranted.
Update · Jan 19, 2026, 10:49 AMin_progress
Claim restatement: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Progress evidence: On January 13, 2026,
the United States designated several Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations, representing the initial actions of what officials described as an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization.
Status of completion: These actions constitute an initial tranche; the completion condition—additional MB designations as part of the sustained effort—has not yet been achieved, but officials signaled that more designations are forthcoming.
Key dates and milestones: January 13, 2026, involved designations of
Egyptian,
Jordanian, and
Lebanese MB branches for material support to Hamas, with OFAC and State Department stressing this as the first step in a broader program.
Source reliability and incentives: The reporting and primary government releases are consistent with counterterrorism policy practice and emphasize disruption of financial and logistical support networks; incentives align with reducing MB influence and funding capabilities. Future updates should confirm the scope and timing of any additional designations.
Follow-up note: Monitor for further MB designation actions and any accompanying policy tools or sanctions in the coming months.
Update · Jan 19, 2026, 08:10 AMin_progress
Restated claim: The administration announced an ongoing, sustained effort to designate Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorists, with the promise of additional designations beyond the initial actions. The initial action occurred on January 13, 2026, when the Treasury and State Departments designated
Egyptian,
Jordanian, and
Lebanese Muslim Brotherhood branches as terrorist organizations. The officials framed these actions as the opening moves in a broader, ongoing campaign to disrupt MB support for terrorism and destabilization, with additional designations anticipated in the future. Overall, these early actions establish a framework for continued sanctions and designation activity rather than a completed set of measures.
Update · Jan 19, 2026, 04:06 AMin_progress
Claim restatement: The article asserts that the announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Progress evidence: On January 13, 2026, the State Department designated the
Lebanese MB as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and a Specially Designated Global Terrorist, and designated the MB leader Muhammad Fawzi Taqqosh as an SDGT. Concurrently, the Treasury designated the
Egyptian and
Jordanian MB chapters as SDGTs for supporting Hamas. The agencies framed these actions as the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization, with a commitment to use all tools to deprive MB chapters of resources.
Current status: These actions constitute the first wave of designations in the stated sustained effort. There have been no publicly reported additional MB chapters designated beyond these three branches as of 2026-01-18, though officials described further designations as forthcoming. The completion condition (additional designations) has not yet been fulfilled at this date.
Milestones and dates: January 13, 2026 – designations announced by State and Treasury; statements emphasize ongoing nature and potential future designations. No separate, later milestones publicly documented by January 18, 2026 indicate completion of further designations beyond the initial three MB branches.
Source reliability note: The primary sources are official U.S. government releases (State Department and Treasury/OFAC), which provide contemporaneous, authoritative statements of policy and actions. Cross-checks with Treasury press materials corroborate the coordinated designations and the framing of an ongoing effort.
Update · Jan 19, 2026, 02:06 AMin_progress
The claim restates that the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The Treasury and State press releases confirm that three Muslim Brotherhood branches (
Egypt,
Jordan, and
Lebanon) were designated as terrorist entities, and frame these actions as the first steps in what they describe as an ongoing, sustained effort. This supports the idea that more designations could follow as part of the stated policy approach. The sources indicate the architecture of a continuing campaign rather than a completed, single-action designation.
Progress evidence includes the Jan. 13, 2026 designation actions by OFAC and the State Department, which explicitly describe these moves as the opening actions of an ongoing effort. The releases outline authorities, rationale, and sanctions implications, establishing a framework for further actions to target MB chapters and related networks. While these initial designations mark concrete milestones, there is no publicly reported completion of additional targeted chapters as of the current date (2026-01-18).
There is clear evidence that the Administration intends ongoing action beyond the initial designations, as stated in the releases: future designations are described as part of a sustained effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization. However, no additional targeted chapters have been publicly announced or designated since Jan 13, 2026, according to available official statements and major reporting. The status thus remains progress-oriented rather than completed.
Source reliability is strong for the core claim: the Treasury OFAC and State Department releases are official communications corroborated by reputable outlets summarizing the actions. These sources explicitly frame the designations as the first actions of a broader, ongoing campaign. Caution is advised regarding any further, unannounced designations; until such actions are publicly disclosed, the status remains in progress rather than finished.
Update · Jan 19, 2026, 12:14 AMin_progress
Restated claim: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Progress evidence: On January 13, 2026, the U.S. Treasury and State Departments designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations, marking the opening actions of what officials described as an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization (press releases from Treasury and State; Reuters coverage).
Current status: The initial designations have been implemented, but the administration has not announced a final or total set of additional future designations. The language describing an ongoing, sustained effort remains in force in official statements accompanying the designations, indicating continued action is anticipated.
Milestones and reliability: Key milestones include the January 13, 2026 designation of three MB branches as specially designated global terrorists (OFAC), with accompanying statements from Treasury Secretary and State Department officials. Reputable outlets (Reuters, official Treasury/State releases) corroborate the sequence and framing of ongoing actions.
Sourcing note: Primary information comes from official U.S. government releases (Treasury OFAC, State Department) and corroborating reporting from Reuters and other reputable outlets, which strengthens reliability. The sources clearly reflect an impulse toward further designations beyond the initial actions.
Update · Jan 18, 2026, 10:13 PMin_progress
Restated claim: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The Treasury press release frames the action as the initial step in an ongoing, sustained campaign and explicitly notes that further designations are anticipated as part of this effort. The claim is therefore describing a process rather than a finished set of actions.
Evidence of progress: On January 13, 2026, the U.S. Department of the Treasury, via OFAC, designated
Egyptian and Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood chapters for their material support to Hamas, as part of an effort to disrupt terrorist networks. The same day, the State Department designated the Lebanese Muslim Brotherhood (al-Jamaa al-Islamiyah) as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and designated its Secretary General, signaling a broader, multi-agency push beyond a single chapter. These actions constitute the first tranche of what officials describe as an ongoing designations program.
Status of completion: There is no public evidence as of January 18, 2026 that additional Muslim Brotherhood chapters have been designated beyond the January 13 actions. Both the Treasury release and State Department actions emphasize continuity and an ongoing process, but they do not provide a concrete future completion date or confirm a fixed list of forthcoming designations. Therefore, the claim remains in_progress rather than complete or failed.
Dates and milestones: The key milestones are January 13, 2026, when OFAC designated EMB and
Jordanian MB branches and State designated
Lebanese MB entities and leaders, and the accompanying statements that this represents the opening actions of an ongoing effort. The actions reference Executive Order 13224 and related authorities, anchoring the set of sanctions within established U.S. counterterrorism policy. No later milestones or deadlines are announced in the cited materials.
Source reliability note: The report relies on primary U.S. government sources—the Treasury OFAC press release and the State Department’s designation actions—both of which are official and contemporaneous. These sources provide direct statements about the nature of the effort and its initial actions, though they frame subsequent designations as future steps rather than fixed commitments with scheduled dates.
Update · Jan 18, 2026, 08:46 PMin_progress
Restatement of the claim: The Treasury-State announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Evidence of progress: On January 13, 2026, the White House/Treasury and the State Department announced designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters (
Lebanese,
Jordanian,
Egyptian) as part of a coordinated effort. State described these as the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained policy to thwart MB violence and destabilization, with promises to deprive MB chapters of resources to support terrorism (Executive Order 14362 framework). The Treasury designation of MB chapters as SDGTs reinforced the broader designations, establishing a mechanism for future actions.
Status of the completion condition: The initial round of designations constitutes the first step in the stated ongoing effort. As of the current date (2026-01-18), there is no publicly announced second wave or concrete milestones confirming additional MB chapter designations beyond those issued on January 13, 2026. The administration’s language and the OFAC/State statements leave open the possibility of further actions, but no explicit completion has occurred.
Dates and milestones: January 13, 2026—designations announced by State and Treasury; the State release frames this as the first actions in an ongoing campaign. Treasury’s SB0357 release confirms designation actions and references the broader policy framework. No later public milestones have been reported to date.
Source reliability and incentives: The sources (State Department press release and Treasury OFAC press release) are official U.S. government communications, providing high reliability for the stated actions and policy framing. Coverage from corroborating outlets (AP, The Hill) aligns with the official statements and reinforces the reported progression of actions. The official statements emphasize punitive, financial, and regulatory tools to curb MB-related support, reflecting government incentives to deter terrorism and destabilization.
Update · Jan 18, 2026, 06:29 PMin_progress
Claim restatement: The January 13, 2026 Treasury press release signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort to target Muslim Brotherhood chapters with additional designations. Evidence to date shows the opening actions—designation of three MB chapters as terrorists—as the initial step in this effort (Treasury/State press releases, Reuters, AP, Jan 2026). Progress status: those initial designations have been completed, and officials describe them as opening actions in a longer campaign, with no publicly announced completion date or list of further targets as of 2026-01-18. The reliability of sources is high, with official government releases corroborating the statements and independent outlets reporting consistently on the same actions.
Update · Jan 18, 2026, 04:09 PMin_progress
Claim restatement: The January 13, 2026 announcements signaled an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort to curb Muslim Brotherhood activity, including future designations of MB chapters. The initial actions designated three MB branches and framed this as the opening step of a broader program.
Evidence of progress: State designated the
Lebanese MB as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and a Specially Designated Global Terrorist, while Treasury designated the
Egyptian and
Jordanian MB branches as SDGTs for supporting Hamas. These actions are documented in the agency press releases as the first steps of the ongoing effort.
Current status: There is no public evidence of further MB chapter designations beyond January 13, 2026. Officials framed the actions as the opening phase of a sustained strategy, implying additional designations could follow if warranted.
Reliability and dates: The sources are official U.S. government releases from State and Treasury (dated January 13, 2026), providing contemporaneous confirmation of the designations and the stated ongoing campaign.
Update · Jan 18, 2026, 02:31 PMin_progress
The claim states that the January 13, 2026 Treasury-State announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The first actions described were the designation of three Muslim Brotherhood branches (
Lebanese,
Jordanian, and
Egyptian) as terrorist entities, and as SDGTs for provision of support to Hamas, marking an initial step in what officials characterized as an ongoing campaign. This framing is supported by both the Treasury OFAC press release and the State Department press release issued on the same day. AP coverage corroborates that these actions were presented as opening actions in a broader, sustained effort, not the final set of measures.
Update · Jan 18, 2026, 12:14 PMin_progress
The claim states that the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Official releases from the Treasury and State Departments confirm the actions taken on that date and frame them as the opening actions of a broader, continuing effort. The materials describe the January 13 steps as the first actions of a sustained campaign, with no stated completion date or milestones for future designations. At present, there is no evidence of a final completion date; subsequent designations would indicate progress toward the stated ongoing objective. The reliability notes: the sources are primary government communications (Treasury OFAC press release and State Department press release) which align with the stated policy intent but do not provide a concrete timetable for further designations.
Update · Jan 18, 2026, 10:25 AMin_progress
The claim states that the announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The January 13, 2026 statements from the State Department describe the action as the opening actions of a sustained effort to thwart MB chapters, with more designations anticipated. The Treasury press release likewise indicates that additional designations will follow as part of the same effort.
Update · Jan 18, 2026, 08:07 AMin_progress
Claim restated: The January 13, 2026 Treasury and State action signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The initial announcements designated
Egyptian and Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood branches for material support to Hamas, and described these actions as the opening steps of a broader, sustained effort.
Evidence of progress to date shows the January 13 designations were the first concrete steps under Executive Order authorities referenced in the release. The Treasury/OFAC action designated specific MB branches as SDGTs and the State Department designated related entities as terrorists, with statements framing this as the opening actions of an ongoing campaign (no subsequent designations were announced by January 17, 2026).
To assess completion status, there is no public evidence by January 17, 2026 of additional MB chapters being designated beyond the January 13 actions. Official communications repeatedly describe future, ongoing designations, but no new designations have been publicly disclosed in the intervening days.
Key dates and milestones: January 13, 2026 — concurrent designations of the Egyptian and
Jordanian MB branches (Treasury OFAC) and related MB entities (State), with a commitment to additional designations as part of the sustained effort; January 17, 2026 — no further MB designations announced publicly to date. The sources include the Treasury press release (SB0357) and the accompanying State Department release.
Source reliability: The primary sources are U.S. Treasury OFAC and U.S. State Department releases, both official government statements dated January 13, 2026, corroborated by coverage from independent outlets that summarize the actions. These sources are appropriate for tracking official sanctions designations and stated policy intentions, though they are inherently aligned with the administering agencies’ positions and incentives to curb MB activities.
Update · Jan 18, 2026, 04:16 AMin_progress
Restated claim: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Progress evidence: On January 13, 2026, the U.S. designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorists, described as opening actions in an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization (State Department and Treasury releases; corroborating coverage from Reuters and AP).
Status of completion: There is no public record by January 17, 2026 of further MB chapter designations; officials say additional actions will follow as part of the ongoing effort, but the completion condition has not been publicly fulfilled yet.
Key milestones: The January 13, 2026 designation of
Egyptian,
Lebanese, and
Jordanian MB chapters marks the initial step; official messaging frames this as the start of a broader campaign.
Source reliability: Official U.S. government releases in combination with major outlets (Reuters, AP) provide consistent framing of an ongoing effort and the initial designations.
Update · Jan 18, 2026, 02:59 AMin_progress
The claim states that the announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The January 13, 2026 announcements from the U.S. Treasury and State Department mark the first actions in what officials described as an ongoing, sustained effort to counter Muslim Brotherhood chapters that threaten security. The public statements emphasize that further designations could follow as part of this sustained approach (Treasury press release SB0357; State Department press release).
Evidence of progress: The initial actions designate specific Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist-related entities. Specifically, the
Lebanese MB is designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and a Specially Designated Global Terrorist by the State Department, while the
Egyptian and
Jordanian MB chapters are designated as Specially Designated Global Terrorists by Treasury for their links to Hamas (Treasury SB0357; State Dept press release). These steps are described as the first actions of an ongoing effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization (State Dept press release).
Status of the promised sustained effort: The official materials frame these as opening actions in a broader, ongoing program, with the Department of State and Treasury signaling readiness to use all tools to target MB resources and support networks. However, there have been no publicly announced additional MB designations since the January 13, 2026 announcements through the date provided (January 17, 2026). The completion condition—additional MB designations as part of the sustained effort—remains unfulfilled in public records to date, though it has not been contradicted by officials either.
Dates and milestones: January 13, 2026 marks the explicit designations by State and Treasury, described as the first actions of a sustained effort. The material notes that further actions would occur under the policy framework (Executive Order 14362 and related authorities mentioned in the releases). No specific timeline for subsequent designations is provided, and there is no public update specifying a milestone or completion date.
Source reliability and incentives: Primary sources are U.S. Treasury and Department of State press materials, which are official and contemporaneous with the claim. These outlets place emphasis on policy continuity and ongoing enforcement, reflecting national security incentives to disrupt MB networks. Given the operators’ stated aim of counterterrorism, the sources are consistent in portraying the designations as initial steps in a broader, ongoing program rather than a completed, closed set of actions.
Update · Jan 18, 2026, 12:46 AMin_progress
Claim restated: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The January 13, 2026 actions designated three MB chapters (
Lebanese,
Egyptian,
Jordanian) and framed these as opening actions in a broader, ongoing effort. State Department and Treasury statements emphasize that this is the first step of a sustained policy to counter MB violence and destabilization, with additional designations anticipated. The completion condition—additional MB designations as part of the sustained effort—remains in progress, with no final date set for completed actions. Reliability notes: the primary sources are official U.S. government statements (State Department and Treasury), which align on the characterization of these actions as initial steps in an ongoing campaign.
Update · Jan 17, 2026, 10:10 PMin_progress
The claim restates the January 13, 2026 Treasury-State announcement as signaling an ongoing effort to designate Muslim Brotherhood (MB) chapters beyond the initial actions. The Treasury press release framed the MB designations as the first actions in a broader, sustained campaign to curb MB violence and destabilization through additional designations. State Department materials echo this framing and point to further actions to come in connection with MB designations.
Update · Jan 17, 2026, 08:06 PMin_progress
The claim restates that the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort to designate Muslim Brotherhood chapters, including future designations. The Department of State described the action as opening moves in an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart Brotherhood violence and destabilization, with further designations anticipated (State Dept press release, Jan 13, 2026).
Evidence of progress includes the initial designations announced on January 13, 2026, against the
Lebanese,
Jordanian, and
Egyptian chapters (State Department statement; Treasury SDGT actions as applicable), which established a framework for targeted sanctions and asset restrictions (Reuters coverage and official releases). These actions were presented as the first step in a broader campaign, not as an isolated act (State Dept press release; Treasury SB0357).
Whether the promise has been completed is not demonstrated by publicly verifiable indicators beyond the initial trio of designations. The State Department and Treasury communications describe ongoing, sustained efforts and the intention to use all tools available to deprive the chapters of resources, implying more designations could follow, but concrete subsequent actions have not been publicly detailed as of 2026-01-17 (State Dept release; Treasury SB0357; Reuters report).
Key dates and milestones visible in public records include January 13, 2026 as the designation date for the three chapters, with the announcement explicitly framing it as opening actions of a longer campaign (State Dept press release; Reuters Jan 13, 2026). The lack of additional, publicly disclosed designations by January 17, 2026 suggests the process is ongoing rather than completed today. Independent reporting aligns with the administration’s stated intent to pursue further actions as part of the sustained effort (Reuters; AP summary).
Source reliability is high for the core claims: official statements from the State Department and Treasury, corroborated by Reuters coverage and other major outlets, all confirming initial designations and the stated intention of ongoing actions. The incentives described by the agencies emphasize neutral national security objectives, with sanctions aimed at disrupting support for violence. Given the official framing of an ongoing process, the assessment remains cautious and uncertainty about subsequent steps persists (State Dept; Treasury; Reuters).
Update · Jan 17, 2026, 06:27 PMin_progress
Claim restatement: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Evidence of progress: On January 13, 2026, the State and Treasury Departments designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations, marking the first actions of the stated sustained effort (State Dept press release; Treasury press release). The accompanying statements framed these actions as opening steps in a broader, ongoing campaign to disrupt funds and support for Brotherhood-associated violence (State Dept 2026-01-13; Treasury 2026-01-13).
Status of completion: As of January 17, 2026, there have been no publicly reported additional designations beyond the three announced on January 13. Officials described the actions as the start of a continued effort, but no further milestones or completion date have been disclosed (AP, State Dept, Treasury coverage, 2026-01-13 to 2026-01-17).
Reliability and context: Reports from State, Treasury, and major outlets consistently present the designations as the opening actions of a broader policy, with EO 14362 cited in coverage as guiding the designation framework. The coverage is consistent across multiple reputable outlets, indicating a credible attribution of intent to pursue further designations pending future decisions (HSToday; AP; State/Treasury releases, 2026-01-13).
Update · Jan 17, 2026, 04:06 PMin_progress
Claim restated: The article asserts that the January 13, 2026 designation signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort to target Muslim Brotherhood chapters, with expectations of additional designations. Evidence confirms an initial round: the
Lebanese,
Jordanian, and
Egyptian MB chapters were designated by State and Treasury on January 13, 2026. State Department and Treasury describe these actions as the opening actions of a broader campaign, with no public second tranche announced by January 17, 2026. Available reporting corroborates the initial steps but does not show a completed, multi-wave designation as of the current date.
Update · Jan 17, 2026, 02:10 PMin_progress
Restated claim: The announcement signals a sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The Treasury/State actions on January 13, 2026 designate
Egyptian,
Jordanian, and
Lebanese Muslim Brotherhood branches, presenting the first concrete step in what officials describe as an ongoing, sustained effort to counter MB violence and destabilization (OFAC/State designations; SB0357 press release). These initial designations demonstrate progress in implementing the stated policy, and they establish a framework for using additional tools to target MB networks (Reuters, Jan 13 2026; Treasury press release).
Evidence of progress so far shows the Administration taking formal action against MB chapters and signaling future designations as part of the policy, including references to “additional terrorist designations” in the same release and accompanying statements (Treasury OFAC press release, SB0357; State Department release). The named MB branches were designated for material support to Hamas under relevant authorities, reflecting an implementation milestone consistent with the claim of an ongoing effort. However, as of January 17, 2026, there is no publicly documented follow-up designation beyond the three MB chapters announced on January 13 (Reuters and official postings confirm initial actions but do not show additional designations completed yet).
Status of the completion condition: The administration’s completion condition—issuing additional terrorist designations targeting MB chapters as part of the sustained effort—has not been publicly fulfilled by January 17, 2026. The January 13 announcements describe an ongoing, sustained effort and reference future designations, but no subsequent designated MB chapters have been publicly announced in available sources within the first four days after the initial action (Treasury press release, Reuters coverage). The presence of explicit language about ongoing action supports the interpretation that the process is in its early phase rather than complete.
Relevant dates and milestones: January 13, 2026 — Treasury’s OFAC, in coordination with State, designates Egyptian, Jordanian, and Lebanese MB branches as terrorist entities, with statements describing the action as the opening actions of an ongoing effort. This marks the first concrete milestone in the stated sustained campaign (Treasury SB0357; State Department release; Reuters summary). No additional MB chapters designation is documented in sources available up to January 17, 2026.
Reliability and sourcing note: The key claims come from U.S. government sources (Treasury OFAC press release SB0357 and accompanying State Department materials) and corroborated reporting from Reuters. These sources are appropriate for tracking official sanctions actions; however, official follow-up designations would confirm ongoing progress. Where possible, I relied on the primary government releases to minimize interpretation and cross-checked with major, neutral outlets for independent framing.
Follow-up plan: If the administration proceeds with additional MB designations, a follow-up should note the specific MB chapters named, the dates of designation, and the scope of sanctions (SDN list, FTO/Global Terrorist designations), along with any stated milestones or timelines for the ongoing effort. A targeted check around 2026-02-15 would capture whether new designations have been announced.
Update · Jan 17, 2026, 12:21 PMin_progress
Restated claim: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Progress evidence: On January 13, 2026, the U.S. Departments of the Treasury and State designated MB chapters in
Lebanon (as FTO/SDGT) and the
Egyptian and
Jordanian MB branches (as SDGTs) as part of a coordinated action. The agencies framed these designations as the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization, with further designations anticipated (OFAC and State Department press releases). These actions align with Executive Order 14362 guidance and reflect a policy commitment to deprive MB chapters of resources for terrorism (Treasury OFAC press release; State Department press release, Jan. 13, 2026).
Current status: The initial designations have been implemented, establishing a framework for continued use of sanctions and designations against MB affiliates. There is no published completion date; the agencies describe these as the first steps in an ongoing campaign, with the stated intent to pursue additional designations as part of the sustained effort (Treasury OFAC press release; State Department press release). As of the current date (Jan. 17, 2026), no further MB chapters have been publicly designated beyond those announced on Jan. 13, 2026.
Milestones and dates: Key milestones include the Jan. 13, 2026 designation actions and the accompanying statements that these actions mark the opening actions of a sustained effort. The press materials emphasize that additional designations could follow and that all available tools will be used to undermine MB-related support for terrorism (OFAC and State Department communications). No later completion date is provided, which is consistent with an ongoing program rather than a finite campaign.
Source reliability and interpretation: The primary sources are official U.S. government releases from the Treasury and State Department, which directly address sanctions policy and designate specific MB chapters. These sources are reliable for documenting formal actions and stated policy aims, though they reflect the administrations’ framing and incentives to constrain MB networks. While the announcements confirm a beginning step, they do not provide a timetable or guarantee of future designations, leaving progress contingent on ongoing assessments and policy choices.
Update · Jan 17, 2026, 10:21 AMin_progress
Claim restatement: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Progress evidence: On January 13, 2026, the State Department and the Treasury announced initial terrorist designations of three Muslim Brotherhood chapters (
Lebanese,
Jordanian, and
Egyptian) as part of Executive Order 14362, with the State Department-designated groups and leadership and the Treasury-designated entities described as SDGTs. This reflects the stated opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to disrupt MB chapter activities (State Dept press release; Treasury SB0357).
Current status and milestones: As of January 16, 2026, these designations constitute the first step in the administration’s plan; the announcements explicitly described them as the opening actions of a broader, ongoing effort, with an intent to use all tools to deprive MB chapters of resources. No additional MB designations had been announced publicly by January 16, 2026, though officials indicated more actions would follow as part of the sustained effort (State Dept press release; Treasury press release).
Reliability note: The sources are official U.S. government statements (State Department and Treasury), providing primary, explicit statements of policy and planned cadence. Coverage from additional reputable outlets corroborated the initial designations and framing of an ongoing campaign. The current status therefore reflects early steps in an ongoing process rather than a completed, final set of designations.
Update · Jan 17, 2026, 08:20 AMin_progress
Restatement of the claim: The January 2026 announcements signaled an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort, including the prospect of additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Evidence to date shows the initial actions on January 13, 2026, designating three MB branches (
Egyptian,
Jordanian, and
Lebanese) as terrorist entities, with accompanying State Department actions. The Treasury OFAC designation explicitly described these as the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization, including through additional designations. Overall progress indicates the first tranche has been completed and the administration intends further actions, but no further designations had been publicly announced by January 16, 2026.
Update · Jan 17, 2026, 04:26 AMin_progress
Claim restatement: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Progress evidence: On January 13, 2026, the Treasury and State Departments designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters (
Egypt,
Jordan,
Lebanon) as terrorist organizations or SDGTs, citing an ongoing policy to curb MB influence and support for Hamas. The accompanying Treasury press release explicitly describes these actions as the first actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization, with mention of potential additional designations. Major outlets (AP, Reuters, State Department) reported this as the opening step in a broader program.
Current status: As of January 16, 2026, there has been no publicly announced second wave of MB designations beyond the three branches designated on January 13. The official materials frame the actions as the opening actions of a continuing effort, but no official timetable or completion date for further designations has been published.
Milestones and dates: January 13, 2026 – designations of EMB, Jordanian MB, and
Lebanese MB (and related individuals) as terrorist entities; January 16, 2026 – no additional designations publicly announced yet. The materials emphasize ongoing intent rather than a fixed schedule for further actions. The reliability of the progress claim is supported by the Treasury OFAC and State Department announcements and corroborating reporting (AP, Reuters).
Source reliability note: The primary information comes from U.S. government releases (Treasury OFAC press release SB0357 and State Department materials) and corroborated reporting from AP and Reuters, which are reputable and standard-bearers for U.S. policy actions. While the claim hinges on an ongoing program, current public records indicate only the initial trio of designations to date; no contradictory official statements have been found.
Update · Jan 17, 2026, 02:42 AMin_progress
Restated claim: The January 2026 announcements signal an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Evidence of progress: The Treasury and State Departments designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters and a
Lebanese MB leader on January 13, 2026, with a Federal Register notice on January 14, 2026. Officials framed these actions as the first steps in a broader, ongoing effort to disrupt MB resources and support networks. These actions mark initial execution of the stated plan and provide a concrete starting point for further designations.
Current status: The initial designations appear complete for the first wave, but the public record frames the effort as ongoing, implying more targets could be designated in the future. There is no published completion date or final list of all anticipated targets yet.
Key milestones: January 13, 2026 — designations announced by State and Treasury; January 14, 2026 — Federal Register notice. These milestones confirm the procedural execution and offer pathways to verify subsequent actions.
Source reliability: Official statements from the State Department, Treasury, and the Federal Register provide high-certainty documentation of actions and intent. Independent security-focused reporting corroborates the scope but should be weighed against primary government records for precise targets and timing.
Follow-up: Monitor for additional MB designations and any announced timelines or targets to assess whether the sustained effort materializes as ongoing, repeated actions.
Update · Jan 17, 2026, 01:43 AMin_progress
The claim restates that the announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The January 13, 2026 disclosures explicitly frame the actions as opening steps in an ongoing, sustained campaign, with a stated willingness to pursue further designations in the future (Treasury/OFAC and State Department statements). This aligns with the stated intent but does not by itself confirm a completed set of future designations beyond the initial actions.
Evidence of progress includes the designation of multiple Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist entities on January 13–14, 2026. The State Department designated the
Lebanese MB chapter as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and SDGT, while Treasury designated the
Egyptian and
Jordanian chapters as SDGTs for their ties to Hamas. Officials framed these as initial actions in the broader effort to curb MB activity and financing.
Given the attribution language describing these actions as the “opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort,” there is clear acknowledgment that more steps are anticipated. Public statements and press materials emphasize the intent to deprive MB chapters of resources and to pursue additional designations as part of the policy trajectory. No publicly available completion date or list of future targets has been published to date.
Source reliability and context: primary U.S. government sources (Treasury OFAC and the State Department) accompany independent reporting from major outlets (AP) that corroborate the initial designations and the stated ongoing nature of the effort. While the exact timing and scope of subsequent designations remain uncertain, the available materials treat further steps as expected rather than complete. This supports a cautious assessment that the claim describes an ongoing process rather than a finished set of actions.
Update · Jan 16, 2026, 10:45 PMin_progress
The claim states that the 2026 Treasury/State designations signal an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. This characterizes the actions as the opening phase of a long-term campaign rather than a one-off decision. The claim is plausible given the framing of the initial steps as the start of an ongoing effort.
Evidence of progress: On January 13, 2026, the U.S. Treasury and State Departments designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations and SDGTs, describing these moves as the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization. The accompanying statements emphasize that more designations could follow as part of the broader effort (official releases).
Current status as of 2026-01-16: Public information confirms the initial designations and a stated plan for ongoing actions, but no publicly announced second wave or specific timetable for additional designations has been published. The designations are framed as the first actions of an ongoing campaign, with no fixed completion date.
Reliability and incentives: The sources are official U.S. government communications, which reinforce reliability for the stated intent and initial steps. They frame possible future designations within a broader objective to curb violence and destabilization linked to the MB, reflecting incentives to deter support networks and resource flows while signaling continued enforcement.
Update · Jan 16, 2026, 08:20 PMin_progress
Restated claim: The January 13, 2026 Treasury-State designation signals a continuing
U.S. effort to designate Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorists, with the promise of additional designations.
Progress evidence: On January 13, 2026, the U.S. Treasury and State Departments designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters (
Egypt,
Jordan, and
Lebanon) as terrorist organizations or equivalents, marking the first actions of the sustained effort (Treasury SB0357; AP News).
Current status: As of mid-January 2026, public reporting confirms initial designations and the stated aim of additional actions, but no publicly announced second wave or completion of a broader designation program has been disclosed.
Milestones and dates: The key milestone is January 13, 2026, when the three designations were announced. Any further designations have not been publicly itemized by January 16, 2026.
Source reliability: Treasury’s official press release SB0357 and contemporaneous reporting from AP provide primary-source confirmation of the initial designations; coverage is consistent across reputable outlets.
Incentives and neutrality: The actions reflect a national-security objective to disrupt support for Hamas, consistent with U.S. sanctions policy, and the reporting does not indicate partisan framing in the implementation.

Summary of the claim: The article states that the January 13, 2026 Treasury/State designations signal an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. What happened so far: On January 13, 2026, three Muslim Brotherhood chapters were designated as terrorist organizations, described by officials as the opening actions of an ongoing effort to curb MB violence and destabilization. The agencies framed these actions as the first step in a broader program to use all available tools against MB chapters and to deprive them of resources. Multiple reputable outlets and official transcripts corroborate that these were the initial designations tied to an ongoing policy.
Update · Jan 16, 2026, 04:14 PMin_progress
Summary of the claim: The article states that the January 13, 2026 announcements signal an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters, framing the January actions as the opening moves of a broader campaign. The public materials from the administration characterize the actions as the first actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart Muslim Brotherhood violence and destabilization worldwide, with a pledge to use all tools to deprive these chapters of resources (official press releases and statements).
Evidence of progress to date: On January 13, 2026, the U.S. Treasury and State Departments designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations, marking the first concrete step in the stated effort (Treasury SB0357; State Department release). Media outlets summarized the designations and cited the administration’s commitment to continuing actions consistent with Executive Order 14362, though specifics beyond the initial three designations were not announced in those documents. The available official materials frame these as opening actions rather than a completed end-state.
Assessment of the completion status: There is no public record by 2026-01-16 of additional Muslim Brotherhood designations having occurred after the January 13 announcements. The agencies describe an ongoing, sustained effort, but the completion condition—additional designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters—has not been publicly fulfilled within the reporting window. The claim remains plausible in principle, but requires observing subsequent announcements to confirm progression toward additional designations.
Dates and milestones: January 13, 2026 — designations of three Muslim Brotherhood chapters (
Egypt/
Jordan and related entities) as terrorist organizations announced by Treasury and State. The press materials emphasize ongoing action but do not provide a timeline or milestones for subsequent designations. Reliability notes: The sources are primary government releases (Treasury and State) and major outlets (AP, The Hill, etc.) reporting on those releases; these are suitable for confirming official actions and stated policy intentions, though cross-referencing with additional official updates would strengthen verification.
Follow-up considerations: If additional designations are announced, they should be documented by successive Treasury/State press releases and corroborating coverage. The next update should specify which chapters, the scope of designations (SDGT/OFAC listings), and potential policy shifts tied to the continued effort. A follow-up date to reassess progress is suggested below.
Update · Jan 16, 2026, 02:17 PMin_progress
Claim restatement: The article asserts that the January 13, 2026 designation signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Evidence of progress: On January 13, 2026,
the United States designated three Muslim Brotherhood branches (
Egyptian,
Jordanian,
Lebanese) as terrorist organizations or SDGTs, in coordination between the Treasury and the State Department. The State Department framed this as the opening action in an ongoing effort to curb MB violence and destabilization (first actions, ongoing, sustained effort). Reuters and AP cover the actions and framing by U.S. officials.
Current status of the promise: The initial tranche has been completed, fulfilling the stated opening actions of the sustained effort. There is no publicly available confirmation as of 2026-01-16 of additional MB designations beyond the January 13 actions. U.S. authorities have indicated the effort will continue, but no specific second batch or milestones have been publicly announced.
Dates and milestones: Designations announced January 13, 2026. Treasury designation of MB branches as SDGTs and State designation of the Lebanese MB as FTO/SDGT were the first milestones highlighted by the administration as part of a broader campaign. The Administration described these as the opening actions of a sustained effort to target MB chapters globally.
Source reliability note: Primary sources include the U.S. Department of the Treasury and Department of State press materials (SB0357) and the State Department press release, both dated January 13, 2026, corroborated by Reuters coverage. These outlets are reputable and standard for U.S. government sanctions announcements. The reporting is consistent across major outlets (Reuters, AP, State/ Treasury statements).
Source synthesis and incentives: The designations align with official U.S. policy on designated terrorist organizations and with a broader geopolitical stance toward
Islamist movements seen as threats by U.S. partners. As of the date in question, the incentive is to disrupt MB financial and operational networks, with further designations expected but not yet publicly announced.
Update · Jan 16, 2026, 12:55 PMcomplete
Claim restated: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Evidence of progress: On January 12–13, 2026, the Administration designated Muslim Brotherhood branches as terrorist organizations, with Treasury’s OFAC detailing multiple branch designations (
Egyptian,
Jordanian,
Lebanese MB) and related sanctions actions. The Treasury press release SB0357 explicitly framed these as part of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization, including through additional designations. State Department materials corroborated the ongoing nature of this effort.
Status of completion: The stated promise of an ongoing, sustained designation campaign materialized in concrete actions within days of the initial announcement, indicating progress toward the completion condition described in the claim.
Dates and milestones: January 12, 2026 — initial MB branch designations announced by Treasury/State; January 13, 2026 — OFAC adds MB branches and related individuals/entities to SDGT/SDN lists. These steps establish concrete milestones toward broader, sustained actions.
Source reliability: Primary government sources (U.S. Treasury, OFAC, and the State Department) provide contemporaneous confirmation of designations and policy framing, with consistent information across SB0357, OFAC actions, and State Department releases.
Synthesis: Available official records indicate the claim is supported by demonstrable progress—designations of MB branches as terrorist organizations and a clearly stated ongoing effort toward further designations.
Update · Jan 16, 2026, 10:27 AMin_progress
Restated claim: The January 13, 2026 announcements indicate an ongoing
U.S. effort to designate Muslim Brotherhood branches as terrorist organizations, with the stated intention of pursuing additional designations in the future. Evidence of progress: Treasury and State Department jointly announced designations of
Egyptian,
Jordanian, and Lebanese Muslim Brotherhood entities on January 13, 2026, marking the opening actions of the effort (OFAC and FTO designations; accompanying statements describe an ongoing, sustained campaign). The accompanying statements describe these actions as the first steps in a broader, ongoing effort to deter MB violence and destabilization. Reliability note: Official U.S. government releases from OFAC/State (and corroboration from AP and The Hill) support the claim and framing. Additional context: The releases reference Executive Order 13224-related authorities and an intent to pursue further designations as part of the ongoing effort, but do not specify a completion date.
Update · Jan 16, 2026, 08:04 AMin_progress
Claim restatement: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Evidence of progress: On January 13, 2026, the U.S. Treasury and State Departments announced designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The Treasury designated the
Egyptian and
Jordanian branches as Specially Designated Global Terrorists for support to Hamas, while the State Department designated the
Lebanese branch as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and SDGT, with the group’s leader also designated. This marks the initial actions of the stated sustained effort as described by the agencies.
Progress assessment: The actions taken constitute the first tranche of what the administrations described as an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization. The official statements explicitly frame these as opening actions intended to be followed by additional designations and further measures across MB chapters where applicable.
Status relative to completion: As of 2026-01-15, additional designations beyond the three MB chapters have not been announced publicly in the available records. The completion condition—issuance of further MB designations as part of the sustained effort—remains in the planning/ongoing phase rather than completed.
Source reliability and notes: Primary sources include the U.S. Treasury press release (SB0357) and the State Department press release, both dated January 13, 2026, corroborated by Reuters coverage of the same action. These are official government sources and mainstream wire coverage; no identified high-quality sources contradict the announcements. Given the explicit framing of ongoing actions, the status should be understood as initiation of a broader campaign rather than finality of the stated effort.
Overall assessment: The claim is supported by the initial actions taken and the language of the official releases, which describe an ongoing, sustained effort. The designation of three MB chapters constitutes progress, but the completion condition—further MB designations—had not occurred by 2026-01-15.
Update · Jan 16, 2026, 04:36 AMin_progress
Claim restatement: The January 13, 2026 Treasury/State announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort to designate Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations, with the expectation of additional designations in the future. The press release explicitly describes these actions as the first steps in a broader, continuing campaign.
Progress evidence: The administration designated specific Muslim Brotherhood branches—the
Egyptian and
Jordanian branches by Treasury/OFAC and the
Lebanese branch by State—under existing counterterrorism authorities. The Treasury release frames these as the initial actions of a sustained effort to curb MB violence and destabilization, with a stated trajectory toward further designations (per the blanket language about ongoing actions).
Current status of the promise: The completion condition—additional terrorist designations targeting MB chapters—has not been fulfilled as a single final event; rather, the agencies indicate this is an ongoing process. The January 2026 action itself is presented as the first tranche, not a final end state, suggesting continued actions are anticipated.
Dates and milestones: January 13, 2026 is the primary milestone for the first wave of designations. The Treasury OFAC designation of EMB and JMB, and the State designation of the Lebanese MB, are concrete milestones. No later completion date is provided; the document frames future actions as ongoing actions within an inferred multi-step process.
Source reliability note: The principal materials come from U.S. Treasury and Department of State press releases (OFAC/OFAC designations and accompanying statements). These are official government sources with direct authority on sanctions policy. While the message emphasizes ongoing action, the lack of a concrete, final completion date means the status should be tracked as ongoing rather than completed. The framing is consistent across the agencies and aligned with standard sanction-designation practice.
Update · Jan 16, 2026, 02:35 AMin_progress
Claim restated: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The January 13, 2026 Treasury press release describes first actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart Muslim Brotherhood violence and destabilization, with the stated aim of pursuing additional designations (and references a broader ongoing effort). State Department materials issued the same day underscore a coordinated designation of MB chapters (
Lebanese,
Jordanian,
Egyptian) as terrorist organizations, noting these actions as opening steps in a sustained effort to curb MB-backed violence (EO 14362 framework).
Evidence of progress: On January 13, 2026, the administration designated MB branches in
Egypt and
Jordan as SDGTs, with Treasury designating those branches for material support to Hamas and State designating the Lebanese MB as FTO/SDGT (per State/Treasury releases). This marks the initial wave of designations connected to EO 14362. Sources: OFAC/Treasury press release (SB0357); State Department press release (January 13, 2026).
Whether completion occurred: The completion condition—additional terrorist designations targeting MB chapters as part of the sustained effort—has not been declared completed. The authorities describe the actions as the first steps of an ongoing program, with mentions of future designations rather than a finalization date. Evidence suggests continued activity is intended, but no announced final tally or end date exists as of 2026-01-15. Sources: SB0357; State Department press release.
Dates and milestones: Key milestones announced include the January 13, 2026 designation actions under EO 14362, followed by public statements framing these as opening actions of a broader, sustained campaign. The State release also references accompanying Treasury designations in coordination with U.S. policy objectives. Sources: SB0357; State Department press release.
Reliability of sources: The reporting comes from official U.S. government sources (Treasury and State Department) and aligns with the documented use of EO 14362 to target MB chapters. These are primary, authoritative statements on policy actions, though the long-term status of “additional designations” remains contingent on future administrations and review processes. Sources: official Treasury press release; official State Department press release.
Overall assessment: As of 2026-01-15, the claim that the announcement signals an ongoing, sustained effort with potential for additional designations is supported by official statements and initial actions. The program is in its initial phase, with no published completion date or final scope; continued designations are expected as part of the stated strategy. Sources: SB0357; State Department press release.
Update · Jan 16, 2026, 12:24 AMin_progress
Claim restatement: The article asserts that the announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Progress evidence: On January 13, 2026, the U.S. Treasury, in coordination with the State Department, designated the

Jordanian branches of the Muslim Brotherhood as global terrorists, signaling the opening actions of an ongoing campaign.
Current status vs completion: These initial designations are described as the first actions of a broader, sustained effort, with multiple outlets noting that additional designations are expected to follow; thus, the completion condition (issuance of further MB chapter designations) remains in progress as of mid-January 2026.
Milestones and dates: Key milestones include the January 12–13, 2026 designation announcements and the framing by Treasury/State that these steps inaugurate an ongoing effort against MB chapters; continued designations are anticipated.
Source reliability note: Coverage from Reuters and official U.S. government press releases is consistent on the designation of three MB chapters and the intent of future actions. These sources are high-quality and standard references for terrorism-related policy actions.

Claim restatement: The administration announced an ongoing, sustained effort to curb Muslim Brotherhood activity, with initial terrorist designations and an indication that additional MB chapters would be designated in the future. Evidence of progress: On January 13, 2026, the State Department designated the Lebanese Muslim Brotherhood as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and a Specially Designated Global Terrorist, while the Treasury designated the
Egyptian and
Jordanian branches as SDGTs for providing material support to Hamas. These actions are explicitly described as the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization, with promises of further designations. Current status: As of January 15, 2026, the announced steps represent the first actions under the stated plan; no additional MB chapter designations have been publicly announced yet. Reliability note: The information comes from official
U.S. government sources (State Department press release and Treasury OFAC press material), providing authoritative confirmation of the designations and the stated policy trajectory.

Restated claim: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Evidence to date shows the initial step occurred on January 13, 2026, with designations targeting MB branches in
Egypt,
Jordan, and
Lebanon. The Treasury and State Departments framed these actions as the opening moves in a broader campaign to disrupt MB violence and destabilization, with promises of further designations to come. No public completion date or milestone beyond the initial set has been announced as of January 15, 2026.
Update · Jan 15, 2026, 04:18 PMin_progress
The claim states that the announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The January 13, 2026 Treasury press release confirms an initial set of designations and frames them as the first actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart Muslim Brotherhood violence and destabilization, with additional designations anticipated (OFAC/State actions; EMB and JMB designated as SDGT/FTO, plus related State designations) — i.e., the stated ongoing effort is in its early phase. The press release explicitly notes that these actions are part of a broader, continuing effort to disrupt resources and support for terrorism by MB chapters (OFAC designation announcements and related State designations). Overall, the announcement meets the promise of ongoing designations, but as of the current date no further MB chapters have been publicly designated beyond those named in the release, indicating progress is underway but not yet complete.
Evidence shows concrete progress: on January 13, 2026, the Treasury press release designates
Egyptian and
Jordanian MB branches as Specially Designated Global Terrorists and designates the
Lebanese MB and its Secretary General as SDGT, with State Department actions accompanying these designations. The release also explicitly characterizes these steps as the first actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization, signaling that additional designations could be designated in subsequent actions. The publication date and the specific named entities provide verifiable milestones confirming initial implementation of the policy.
There is no evidence yet that the completion condition — additional terrorist designations targeting MB chapters beyond those named — has been fulfilled by the current date. The Treasury release describes the actions as the first steps in an ongoing process and notes that additional designations are anticipated as part of the sustained effort. Therefore, the status remains in_progress rather than complete or failed.
Key dates and milestones include: January 13, 2026 — OFAC designation of MB Egyptian and Jordanian branches as SDGT, and Lebanese MB designations by State; January 12–13, 2026 — related Treasury/State communications framing the action as the start of an ongoing effort. The reliability of these milestones is high, given they originate from official U.S. government sources (Treasury OFAC and White House/State coordination pages) and are corroborated by Treasury’s press release text.
Source reliability: official U.S. government outlets (home.treasury.gov press release; White House/State Department actions referenced in related reporting) provide primary, verifiable information. No material red flags for reliability are evident; coverage aligns with formal sanction actions and public statements from Treasury and State. While the release describes ongoing action, it is prudent to await subsequent designation actions to confirm whether the overall sustained program designated in the claim proceeds as anticipated.
Follow-up note: monitor OFAC and State Department announcements for additional MB chapter designations. A reasonable follow-up date for updated status is 2026-06-01.

Claim restatement: The article stated that the announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Progress evidence: On January 13, 2026, the Treasury and State Departments announced designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood branches (
Egyptian and
Jordanian by Treasury;
Lebanese by State) as part of a broader policy to curb the group’s activity. The State Department described these actions as the opening steps in an ongoing, sustained effort, with additional designations anticipated to follow.
What remains in progress: The January 2026 actions mark the initial designations, and the administration signaled that further targeted actions would continue as part of the sustained effort. No comprehensive completion date was provided, and subsequent rounds of designations were not listed as completed within this reporting window.
Milestones and dates: Primary milestones include the January 12–13, 2026 designation announcements, with OFAC and the State Department labeling MB chapters as terrorist entities and SDGTs. These actions are framed as the first actions in an ongoing program rather than a final, closed set of designations.
Source reliability: The information comes from official U.S. government primary sources (OFAC press release and the State Department materials from January 2026), which are direct issuances of policy and designation actions. Cross-referencing via reputable outlets confirms the issuance and framing as initial steps in an ongoing effort.

Lebanese MB by State as FTO/SDGT and leader Taqqosh;
Egyptian and
Jordanian MB by Treasury as SDGTs for material support to Hamas), marking the opening actions of that sustained effort (January 13–13, 2026). These designations were framed by the issuing agencies as the first step in a broader, ongoing campaign, with further actions anticipated under existing policy authorities (Executive Order 14362).

Claim restated: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The initial actions on January 13, 2026 designated MB chapters in
Lebanon (FTO/SDGT),
Jordan, and
Egypt (SDGT) with Treasury and State coordinating actions, signaling the start of a broader campaign. The administration described these as the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization wherever it occurs (State Dept press release, 2026-01-13; Treasury
SB0357, 2026-01-13).
Evidence of progress: Official U.S. government releases confirm the first tranche of designations and the stated intent to pursue further actions. The State Department announcement explicitly frames these as the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to designate MB chapters and deprive them of resources (State Dept press release, 2026-01-13). Treasury’s accompanying press materials designate MB entities under sanctions authorities for supporting Hamas (OFAC) as part of this broader effort (Treasury SB0357, 2026-01-13).
Status of completion: As of today, additional designations have not been enumerated beyond the three MB chapters designated on Jan 13, 2026. The language repeatedly emphasizes ongoing, future actions, indicating continued activity rather than final completion (State Dept press release, 2026-01-13; Treasury press release, 2026-01-13). Multiple outlets reported that these actions are the initial steps in a sustained campaign rather than a completed package of designations (AP News, 2026-01-14).
Dates and milestones: Key milestone to watch is any subsequent designation announcements or related sanctions actions, which would constitute continued progress in the stated sustained effort (State Dept press release, 2026-01-13; OFAC/Treasury updates, 2026-01-13). Reliability note: primary sources are U.S. Department of State and Department of the Treasury press materials, supplemented by reputable reporting (AP News). These sources collectively support the claim of an ongoing process with potential for further designations (State Dept; Treasury; AP News).
Update · Jan 15, 2026, 08:26 AMin_progress
The claim states that the announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The January 2026 actions show the Administration initiating such an effort, with initial designations issued against MB chapters in
Lebanon,
Egypt, and
Jordan announced by State and Treasury. The designations are described as the opening actions of a sustained campaign, implying further actions to come rather than a completed set of designations at this time.
Update · Jan 15, 2026, 04:57 AMin_progress
Claim restated: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Evidence to date shows the Administration designated several MB chapters on January 13, 2026, marking the initial actions of a broader effort. The statements emphasize that these actions are the first steps in a continuing campaign to disrupt MB support for terrorism. The designations were issued jointly by the Treasury Department’s OFAC and the State Department, underscoring a cross-agency approach rather than a final, concluded package.
Evidence of progress: On January 13, 2026, the Treasury and State Departments announced designations of MB chapters (
Egyptian,
Jordanian MB branches;
Lebanese MB by State) as terrorist organizations or SDGTs. The Treasury press release explicitly describes these as the first actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart MB violence “wherever it occurs,” with promises of additional designations to follow. The State Department release reiterates that these designations are part of an ongoing effort and signals continued use of tools to deprive MB chapters of resources. These actions constitute the concrete milestones to date, serving as the initial implementation of the policy announced by the administration.
Current status and completion outlook: The completion condition—issuance of additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters as part of the sustained effort—has not yet been fulfilled. The agencies describe the January 13, 2026 actions as the first actions in an ongoing process, indicating that further designations and related measures are expected. Because no subsequent milestones or completion date are publicly announced, the initiative remains in progress. Reliability of the information is anchored in official U.S. government releases (OFAC/Treasury and State Department).
Reliability note: Sources are official U.S. government communications (Treasury OFAC press release and State Department designation announcements). These sources are authoritative for sanctions actions, though they reflect policy objectives and stated intentions rather than independent verification of ongoing operational outcomes. Given the formal designation announcements and explicit framing as the first actions of a sustained effort, the current assessment is that the claim is plausible and ongoing, pending any further public designations.

Evidence of progress: The Treasury and State Department issued coordinated actions on January 13, 2026 designating MB chapters in
Egypt and
Jordan (SDGT) and the
Lebanese MB as FTO/SDGT, with officials describing these as the opening actions of an ongoing effort to curb MB violence and destabilization.
Completion status: The releases frame these actions as initial steps with additional designations to follow, but no further designations were announced by 2026-01-14, so the completion condition remains in_progress rather than complete.
Source reliability: Information comes from official U.S. government sources (Treasury OFAC and the State Department) issuing contemporaneous sanctions designations and policy statements; these are primary sources for sanctions actions, and subsequent updates should be monitored for new designations.

The claim references a Treasury-State announcement describing an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort to designate Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorists. The initial actions issued January 12–13, 2026 are presented as the opening moves in that ongoing policy approach (Treasury OFAC/designation press release; State Department release). These actions designated specific Muslim Brotherhood chapters and framed the effort as broader and continuing with additional designations to follow.

The claim asserts that the January 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort to designate Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorists, with future designations expected. Official materials frame the action as the opening actions of a broader campaign to thwart MB violence and destabilization, including through additional designations (Treasury OFAC and State Department statements, January 2026).
As of 2026-01-14, the first wave designated three MB chapters (
Egyptian,
Jordanian, and
Lebanese) as terrorist-related entities or supporters. These actions are described as the initial steps in an ongoing effort, rather than a completed program (OFAC/State press material, January 12–13, 2026).
There is no publicly announced completion date or timeline for further MB designations in the immediate aftermath; subsequent designations, if any, have not been publicly disclosed in the cited sources within this timeframe. The narrative remains that more actions will follow as part of the sustained effort (official statements, January 2026).
Reliability rests on official U.S. government releases and contemporaneous reporting from reputable outlets. The sources provide explicit statements about ongoing intent and initial actions but do not confirm final or comprehensive results beyond the first designated chapters.
Notes: The sources originate from Treasury/OFAC and the State Department, with corroborating media coverage from AP and The Hill, which helps triangulate the claim while maintaining caution about extrapolating beyond stated actions.

The claim asserts the January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort to designated Muslim Brotherhood chapters with plans for additional designations. Initial actions exist: the Treasury designated
Egyptian and
Jordanian MB branches as SDGTs, and the State Department designated the
Lebanese MB as an FTO and an SDGT, as part of a broader policy to curb MB networks. As of January 14, 2026, no additional MB chapter designations have been publicly announced, though officials describe these actions as the first wave of an ongoing effort with further steps anticipated. These sources are official U.S. government statements, which lends reliability, but the stated timetable for future designations remains unspecified beyond the ongoing intent. The completion condition (additional designations) has not yet been met, based on current reporting; progress appears to be in early stages with ongoing actions expected.

What the claim stated: The announcement signaled an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort to thwart Muslim Brotherhood violence and destabilization, with intent to include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Progress evidence: On January 13, 2026, the U.S. Treasury and State Department publicly designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations, described as the opening actions of a broader, sustained effort. This aligns with the promise of ongoing designations and demonstrates initial steps in the stated program (State Department press release and Treasury SB0357).
Current status and completion assessment: The initial designations establish the framework for continuing action, but no further named designations have been publicly announced as of January 14, 2026. Given the stated intent to pursue additional designations, the effort remains in the early, ongoing phase rather than completed, with future actions anticipated.
Source reliability note: The primary materials come from official U.S. government sources (State Department and Treasury press releases), which are authoritative for policy designations. Coverage from independent outlets corroborates the in-country interpretation of these actions, though since this is a developing policy sequence, ongoing updates should be monitored for new designations.

The claim states that the announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Evidence shows a transition from pledges to concrete actions, beginning with an initial tranche of designations under an interagency process described in late 2025 and early 2026. Multiple reputable outlets and official releases corroborate this sequence and framing of an ongoing effort.
Update · Jan 14, 2026, 10:41 AMin_progress
The claim states that the announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. The available reporting confirms an initial set of designations announced in mid-January 2026, framing them as the opening actions of a broader, ongoing campaign.
Evidence shows the U.S. Treasury, via OFAC, in coordination with the State Department, designated several Muslim Brotherhood chapters (
Egyptian and
Jordanian MB branches, and a
Lebanese MB entity and its secretary-general) as terrorist organizations, with the public statements describing these actions as the opening of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart MB violence and destabilization.
The Treasury press release underscores that these actions are intended to deprive MB chapters of resources and to pursue additional designations as part of a continuous effort. The State Department press release similarly ties the designations to an ongoing, sustained policy, explicitly noting that additional designations may follow as part of the same effort.
Public coverage from AP News and other outlets corroborates the framing of these actions as initial steps in a broader campaign, rather than a single, final action. The sources collectively indicate that there is no scheduled completion date announced and that further MB designations are anticipated but not yet enacted as of the reporting date.
Overall, the current status aligns with the claim: designations have begun and are presented as the first actions of a sustained initiative, with explicit language that more designations could occur. The reliability of the cited sources—U.S. Treasury OFAC release, State Department release, and corroborating reporting—supports a cautious, forward-looking assessment rather than a completed package.
Notes on reliability: official U.S. government releases from OFAC and State Department are primary sources for sanctions actions; AP News provides independent corroboration. No high-quality, non-official outlet conflicts with the described framing, and no contradictory information indicating a completed end date is present.

What the claim states: The announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters, framing the action as the opening steps of a broader campaign. The State Department and Treasury releases describe the move as the initial actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to counter Muslim Brotherhood chapters that pose threats to
the United States and its allies (State Department, 2026-01-13; Treasury, 2026-01-13).
What progress has been made: On January 13, 2026, the administration designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters (
Lebanese,
Egyptian, and
Jordanian) as terrorist-related entities or SDGTs, with accompanying comments that this is the opening phase of a broader effort. The designations were accompanied by official statements detailing the rationale and expected ongoing actions (State Department press release; Treasury press release, both 2026-01-13).
What evidence exists about completion, progress, or reversal: The actions taken constitute the first wave of designations; officials frame them as a launching point for additional measures rather than a final set of actions. No final completion date is provided, and the releases emphasize continued use of all tools to disrupt MB chapters future activities (State Department; Treasury, 2026-01-13).
Key dates and milestones: The principal milestone is the January 13, 2026 joint designation announcement, marking the start of a sustained effort as described by the agencies. The releases reference ongoing enforcement and future designations, but no subsequent milestones or dates are listed in the initial statements (State Department 2026-01-13; Treasury 2026-01-13).
Source reliability note: The information comes directly from the U.S. Department of State and U.S. Department of the Treasury—official, primary sources for sanctions actions. Coverage from outlets cited in other briefings corroborates the sequence of initial designations but does not supersede the agencies’ own documents. Overall, these sources are appropriate for assessing the status of the stated effort (State Department; Treasury, 2026-01-13).

Claim restatement: The January 13, 2026 announcement signals an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that will include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters. Evidence shows the administration initiating designations as opening actions in a broader campaign. On January 13, 2026, the Treasury and State Departments designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters, described as the first steps in a sustained effort to curb the group’s support for terrorism (State Department and Treasury OFAC releases, Jan 2026).
Update · Jan 14, 2026, 02:34 AMin_progress
Claim restated: The announcement characterizes a sustained
U.S. effort to designate Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorists, starting with initial actions and promising additional designations. Evidence shows the designations are part of a coordinated, ongoing policy, with parallel actions by Treasury and State. The materials emphasize this as opening actions in a broader campaign, not a final, completed package.
Progress and actions so far: On January 13, 2026, the Department of State designated the Lebanese Muslim Brotherhood as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and a Specially Designated Global Terrorist, and designated the group’s leader as an SDGT. Concurrently, the Treasury designated the
Egyptian and Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood branches as Specially Designated Global Terrorists for providing material support to Hamas (per OFAC). These steps are explicitly described as the first actions of an ongoing effort to thwart violence and destabilization by Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Assessment of completion status: There is no announced completion date or timetable for all potential follow-on designations. The materials frame future actions as anticipated within an ongoing campaign, rather than a completed set of measures. Given the current official wording and lack of a defined endpoint, the status remains in_progress.
Reliability and sourcing notes: Primary, official sources (State Department press release and Treasury/OFAC actions) provide contemporaneous, verifiable details on the designations and the stated objective. These sources are consistent with each other and with the press materials, and they clearly state the continuation of the effort. No independent reporting contradicts the official timeline of actions announced on January 13, 2026.
Update · Jan 14, 2026, 12:46 AMin_progress
Restatement of claim: The announcement signaled an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort that would include additional terrorist designations targeting Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
Evidence of progress: On 2026-01-13, the U.S. designated three Muslim Brotherhood chapters (in
Egypt,
Jordan, and
Lebanon) as-designated terrorist organizations (SDGT) under OFAC, with State Department backing, marking the opening actions of the stated sustained effort. Official materials frame these as the initial actions in an ongoing campaign to curb MB violence and destabilization.
Current status relative to completion: The initial designations have been implemented, fulfilling the first wave of the announced effort. The Administration has indicated further designations would follow as part of the ongoing program, but no additional designations beyond the initial three have been confirmed in the immediate follow-up communications.
Dates and milestones: Designations were announced on 2026-01-13, with Treasury/OFAC and the State Department coordinating actions. These actions are described as opening actions in a broader, continuing campaign to undermine MB chapters’ resources and support for terrorism.
Source reliability and caveats: The primary sources are official U.S. government statements (Treasury OFAC and State Department press materials) and corroborating reporting from major outlets (AP, PBS, US News). These sources present a cautious, policy-focused account of an ongoing process and do not indicate finalization of all potential future designations.
Update · Jan 13, 2026, 10:50 PMin_progress
Restatement of claim: The announcement characterizes an ongoing, sustained
U.S. effort to thwart Muslim Brotherhood violence and destabilization, including through additional terrorist designations of MB chapters.
Progress evidence: The Treasury press release (SB0357, January 13, 2026) states that OFAC, in coordination with the State Department, designated
Egyptian and
Jordanian MB branches as terrorists for their links to Hamas, and that these actions reflect the first steps of an ongoing, sustained effort to curb MB violence and destabilization and to pursue additional designations later.
Current status: As of the current date (2026-01-13), the Treasury release explicitly describes an ongoing program with future designations anticipated, but no further designated MB chapters are recorded in this initial action beyond those named in the press release.
Notable milestones and dates: January 13, 2026 — OFAC and the State Department designate MB branches in
Egypt,
Jordan, and related entities as Foreign Terrorist Organizations or SDGTs, with statements that more designations will follow as part of the sustained effort. No completion date is provided in the release; the completion condition remains contingent on subsequent actions.
Source reliability note: The information comes from the U.S. Department of the Treasury press release (SB0357) published on January 13, 2026, a primary government source. The document directly quotes the administration’s intent for ongoing designations and describes the immediate actions taken. Cross-referencing with additional independent outlets yields consistent reporting on the designation actions, though the Treasury release remains the definitive source for the specific claims about the ongoing designation program.
Overall assessment: The claim is reasonably supported by the January 13, 2026 Treasury release, which frames the initial designations as part of a continuing effort. Evidence of further designations beyond the initial actions would be needed to confirm completion; as of now, the status is best characterized as in_progress.
