Sudan’s Muslim Brotherhood is ‘executing civilians on Iran’s orders’

The Muslim Brotherhood showed its true colors on October 7, 2023, when its Iran-supported offshoot Hamas violently savaged Israelis. The American people are increasingly coming to understand that Muslim Brotherhood-linked entities are active and thriving inside America. So far, Egypt (the place of the Muslim Brotherhood’s origins), America, Canada, the EU, UK and Israel are recognized areas of Muslim Brotherhood activity. A new revelation, however, links Muslim Brotherhood activity in Sudan to the Islamic Republic of Iran; Sudanese Muslim Brothers are carrying out deadly orders from Tehran. “Sudan’s Muslim Brotherhood is executing civilians on Iran’s orders,” by Amine Ayoub, Ynet News, July 2, 2026: The Trump administration has just drawn a hard line under Sudan’s Muslim Brotherhood, warning openly that fighters loyal to the movement are receiving training and support from Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps and threatening a fresh wave of sanctions against anyone who keeps that pipeline open.

Washington’s message on Sudan is blunt and leaves no room for ambiguity. Sudan’s Islamic Movement is using excessive violence against civilians to sabotage conflict resolution and spread its extremist ideology, and many of its fighters, trained and armed with Iranian help, have carried out mass executions of civilians. This is one of the clearest and most direct statements yet from Washington tying a Muslim Brotherhood affiliate to Iran’s terror machine, and it comes with an explicit threat that more punishment is coming.

This is not a new suspicion dressed up in diplomatic language. Washington designated Sudan’s Muslim Brotherhood a global terrorist organization and a transnational criminal organization back in March, and last September it blacklisted the group’s Al Bara ibn Malik Brigade specifically over its brutal role in Sudan’s civil war and its ties to Tehran. Iran is branded once again as the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism, its Revolutionary Guard accused of funding and directing malign activity across the globe, and Sudan’s Islamists are now formally listed as one of its beneficiaries.

For Israel, the significance is not subtle. Every time a Muslim Brotherhood offshoot anywhere in the region gets folded into Iran’s orbit, it confirms what Jerusalem has argued for years in closed briefings and open testimony alike: political Islam and the Iranian axis are not rivals competing for the same turf, they are increasingly partners sharing weapons, training camps and a common enemy. Sudan now joins that grim ledger, and the fighters carrying it out are executing unarmed people in the name of an ideology that has already proven it exports violence far beyond its borders. This is not an isolated case study. It is the same pattern that has played out from Gaza to Lebanon to Yemen, an Islamist movement wrapping itself in religious language while functioning as a forward operating arm of the Iranian regime.

It is critical to remember that Iran’s influence is worldwide and relentless. The relationship between Sudan and Iran has a longer history than most people recognize; it is an ongoing marriage of convenience and a strategic alliance. Bedouin smugglers took Iran’s weapons through Sudan and the Egyptian desert, and then into Gaza via underground tunnels that Hamas built. These were critical supply lines that helped construct military arsenals in Gaza.

In March, the Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control added the Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood to a specially, designated nationals list update. According to the Washington Institute, this designation targeted the Muslim Brotherhood’s ideological hub in North Africa, as Sudan’s ousted leader Omar al-Bashir, whose regime led Sudan to “became a hub for transnational Islamist activity,” had maintained it. “The country hosted Osama bin Laden in the early 1990s,” and few recognized the links between al-Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood. The latter was connected to an “attempt to assassinate Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak” in 1995. “In addition, Khartoum under Bashir served as a meeting point for Iranian leadership.”

The post-Bashir era became uncertain for the Muslim Brotherhood amid four years of war, but Iran’s influence never vanished from the country. The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), which General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan commanded, comprise the official military of Sudan, and they have been engaged in civil war against the rival Rapid Support Forces. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps trained many among the SAF. Iran seeks to help revitalize and boost the Muslim Brotherhood in Sudan, hence its orders of violence against civilians as part of its attempt to seize control.

The West is naively accepting of Muslim Brotherhood-linked organizations (eg. CAIR) presenting themselves as “human rights” organizations that are looking out for Muslim civil liberties. A challenge to these misnomers and lies surrounding what Muslim Brotherhood-linked organizations are really up to, and there needs to be an end to the characterization of them as “human rights” groups.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis have both declared CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood as foreign terrorist organizations. In fact, DeSantis has just designated CAIR-Florida a “domestic terrorist group.”

Abbott and DeSantis have cited CAIR’s past and present ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas. CAIR was listed as an unindicted co-conspirator to Hamas in the Holy Land Foundation trial, the largest terrorism funding trial in the history of America, in 2008.

The Muslim Brotherhood is a global entity, with global dominion as its goal. It tactics are carefully tailored depending on country. For North America, its memorandum states:
The process of settlement is a “Civilization-Jihadist Proecess” with all the word means. The Ikhwan must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and “sabotaging” its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions. Without this level of understanding, we are not up to this challenge and have not prepared ourselves for Jihad yet.

Given its violent roots and the fact that bloody jihad is its declared mission and duty, it is remarkable that the West has tolerated its presence and expansion. In the Muslim Brotherhood’s own words: “…Jihad for Allah is not limited to the specific region of the Islamic countries. The Muslim homeland is one and is not divided. The banner of Jihad has already been raised in some of its parts, and it shall continue to be raised, with the help of Allah, until every inch of the land of Islam will be liberated, the State of Islam will be established…”

Means: Jihad – a mandatory religious duty
– “This is followed by the power of arms and weapons… This is the role of Jihad.”
– “Jihad is a religious public duty… incumbent upon the Islamic nation. Jihad is a personal duty to fend off the infidels’ attack on the nation…”
– “The youth should know that the problems of the Islamic world, such as Palestine, Afghanistan, Syria, Eritrea, or the Philippines, are not issues of territories and nations, but of faith and religion. They are problems of Islam and the Muslims, and they can be resolved neither by negotiation nor by recognizing the enemy’s right to the Islamic land he stole. Rather, the only option is Jihad for Allah, and this is why Jihad is the way.”
– “The symbol of the [Muslim] Brotherhood is the book of Allah [the Quran] between two swords. The swords symbolize Jihad and the force that protects the truth represented in Allah’s book.”
– “…that is, go out to battle, oh believers, young and old, by foot or on horseback, under all circumstances and conditions…”
Timing: Don’t rush, prepare carefully for Jihad
– “The [Muslim] Brotherhood will never rush after the youth’s enthusiasm to carry out immature and unplanned actions, which will not alter the corrupt reality and may even harm Islamic activity, and will benefit the people of falsehood…”….

…Jihad against Israel:
– “Honorable brothers achieved Shahada (Martyrdom) on the soil of beloved Palestine, in 1947 and 1948, in their Jihad against the criminal, thieving gangs of Zion. The Imam and Shahid (Martyr) Hassan Al-Banna is considered a Shahid (Martyr) of Palestine, even though he was not killed on its soil.”

Trump said he would designate Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization. As Robert Spencer commented: “If this really happens and has teeth, it could be a devastating blow to the pro-Sharia Muslim establishment in the U.S. All the major Muslim groups in this country are linked in various ways to the Muslim Brotherhood.” Yet the Trump administration has focused only on several branches of the Brotherhood in countries where it is not powerful or influential, not upon the Brotherhood in America or the organization as a whole.

Following the Trump administration’s declaration that the Muslim Brotherhood in Sudan was “using excessive violence against civilians” under orders of Iran, it has become blatantly apparent how dangerous this group is. The Trump administration should focus on and confront the presence of Muslim Brotherhood-linked entities under America’s own roof.

Trump should set the precedent for dismantling the Muslim Brotherhood’s harmful presence in the West. Its various organizations have been tearing down the West — from free speech encroachments and the advancing of the Sharia to the incitement of violence via the Palestinian jihad and its “globalize the intifada” movement.

France on Edge: Macron Demands "Concrete Solutions" on Islamist Threat

President warns of rising Islamist radicalism in poor suburbs, demands “concrete solutions” as national unity feels under threat

French President Emmanuel Macron convened a high-level emergency security meeting at the Élysée Palace on Monday to address what he called the “strategic threat” of Muslim Brotherhood infiltration into vulnerable neighborhoods across the country.

This marks the second such meeting in recent months, following a similar session in May which, according to Macron, failed to produce meaningful action. Frustrated by the lack of progress, the president demanded that his ministers now present “concrete proposals” to curb the spread of Islamist ideology, particularly in impoverished suburbs.

The meeting was initiated by Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau and attended by top officials including the education and sports ministers. According to government sources, Macron was angered by leaks to the press regarding the classified security report that triggered the meeting. The report detailed what officials are calling a “quiet ideological takeover” in certain urban zones, warning that these trends pose a direct risk to the unity of the French Republic.

While Macron stressed that not all Muslims in France should be lumped together, he underlined the need to take ideological subversion seriously. “There’s a difference between legitimate criticism and deliberate blindness,” he said, cautioning against both panic and complacency.

The political reactions have been deeply divided. Left-wing parties accused Macron of stigmatizing entire communities, warning that his rhetoric could inflame tensions. Meanwhile, the far-right National Rally (RN) party led by Marine Le Pen blasted the government for being too soft, calling for sweeping action, including banning certain Islamic organizations, cutting public funding to religious NGOs, and revoking legal recognition from groups with suspected extremist ties.

Within Macron’s inner circle, discussions are underway about forming a dedicated intelligence unit focused exclusively on Islamist activity and possibly establishing a special legal body empowered to take administrative action against radical groups—bypassing slow criminal proceedings.

Reports indicate Macron aims to unveil a clear and assertive policy before the French Parliament reconvenes for its winter session. A formal ban on the Muslim Brotherhood is reportedly under consideration, mirroring similar moves already enacted in Jordan and other countries.

As France grapples with rising extremism, demographic shifts, and growing political polarization, the battle over what defines “republican values” may soon become one of the most defining debates of Macron’s presidency.

Jordan bans Muslim Brotherhood after arrests over attack plots

Jordan's government has banned the Muslim Brotherhood a week after it said members of the Islamist group had been arrested on suspicion of planning rocket and drone attacks.

Interior Minister Mazen al-Faraya told a news conference that all of the Brotherhood's offices would be closed and its assets confiscated, and that any activities would be considered illegal.

There was no immediate response from the Brotherhood, which denied any links to the alleged attack plots.

It is not clear how the ban will affect the group's political arm, the Islamic Action Front, which is the largest opposition group in parliament. But its headquarters was raided by police following Faraya's announcement.

The IAF's secretary general, Wael Saqqa, insisted that it was an independent political party, explaining that it had "no relationship with any other organisational body".

"We always declare that we are committed to order, the law, and the provisions of the constitution," he said.

In 2020, Jordan's top court ruled that the Brotherhood was "dissolved" because it had not settled its legal status.

However, the group continued its political and other activities, and the IAF participated in last year's parliamentary elections, winning 31 out of the 138 seats.

Last week, Jordan's General Intelligence Department said it had arrested 16 people suspected of planning attacks aimed at "targeting national security, sowing chaos and sabotage".

They involved possession of explosives and automatic weapons, the manufacture of rockets, the concealment of one rocket ready to be launched, a project to manufacture drones, and the training of individuals both in Jordan and abroad, it said.

Faraya claimed during Wednesday's news conference that members of the Brotherhood "operate in the shadows and engage in activities that could undermine stability and security".

Authorities had found "explosives and weapons transported between Jordanian cities and stored in residential areas", as well as covert rocket manufacturing facilities and training and recruitment operations, he alleged.

He also said Brotherhood members had attempted to remove and destroy documents from their headquarters "in an effort to conceal their activities and suspicious affiliations".

The group has denied having any involvement in, or knowledge of, the alleged attack plot and stressed that it is "committed to its peaceful approach".

The Brotherhood was founded in Egypt almost 100 years ago and has local branches across the world. One of its aims is to create a state ruled by Islamic law, or Sharia.

It is outlawed in Egypt and several Arab countries, whose governments see it as a threat.
