State Department Maintains Sanctions on Iran-Based Organization

The State Department is maintaining a foreign terrorist organization designation on Jundallah, an Iran-based militant organization, according to a notice scheduled to be published July 2 in the Federal Register. The State Department said the circumstances that warranted Jundallah’s original sanctions “have not changed in such a manner as to warrant revocation of the designation.” The State Department is scheduled to publish another notice that lists several new aliases for Jundallah, also known as People’s Resistance Movement of Iran (PMRI), including the Army of God and the Baloch Peoples Resistance Movement.
