Reuters - Iran criticized a U.S. plan to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said in Doha on Wednesday.

�The U.S. is not in position to (..) start naming others as terror organizations and we reject by any attempt by the U.S. in this regard,� he told reporters on a sideline of a conference. �The U.S. is supporting the biggest terrorist in the region, that is Israel.�

President Donald Trump is working to designate the Muslim Brotherhood a foreign terrorist organization, the White House said on Tuesday, which would lead to sanctions against Egypt�s oldest Islamist movement.
