The United States places a pro-Iranian group based in Bahrain on its global terror blacklist, accusing it of plotting attacks on US troops in the tiny Gulf kingdom.
The group, Saraya al-Mukhtar, poses a “significant risk of committing acts of terrorism that threaten the national security and foreign policy of the United States,” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says in a statement.
“Saraya al-Mukhtar is an Iran-backed terrorist organization based in Bahrain, reportedly receiving financial and logistic support from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps,” Pompeo says.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have been on the US “Designated Global Terrorist” list since 2019.

The COVID-19 aid could be attached to a critical spending measure that must be passed by Friday to avoid a federal government shutdown.

The daughter of a 74-year-old Austrian citizen imprisoned in Iran has told of her fears for her father’s health after he started displaying coronavirus symptoms.
“He started suffering from fever last Thursday, but he doesn’t get the medical attention he needs, and he was denied a COVID test,” Fanak Mani, daughter of Massud Mossaheb, tells AFP of her father’s treatment in Tehran’s notorious Evin prison.
Mossaheb was detained while traveling in Iran with a delegation from an Austrian research center in January 2019 and in August it was announced that he had been jailed for 10 years on charges of spying for Israel and Germany.
