The Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood issued a statement on Tuesday condemning the United States’ decision to designate the organization as a terrorist group.
In its official response, the group asserted that the designation is “detached from reality and unsupported by evidence.” The statement emphasized that the Muslim Brotherhood rejects violence and does not constitute a threat to the United States.
The announcement from Washington has been met with a firm denial from the organization, which has long been a significant political and social force in Egypt and the wider region.
