Iraq’s Kataib Hezbollah on Tuesday voiced support for the Muslim Brotherhood, pledging to share resources with the movement after Washington designated the Sudanese branch a terrorist organization.

Kataib Hezbollah is itself designated a terrorist organization by the United States, which listed the Iran-aligned Iraqi armed group as a Foreign Terrorist Organization in 2009 and sanctioned it as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist entity.
