The US government designated a Bahraini organization as a terror group today, part of a push to further pressure Iran and its allies before President Donald Trump leaves office in January.
Saraya al-Mukhtar is now a "Specially Designated Global Terrorist," the State Department said in a press release. The department alleged that Mukhtar receives assistance from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and has plotted attacks on US and Bahraini officials.
