The United States Department of State announced that four militant groups will be designated as Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGTs) and, effective November 20, 2025, will be added to the list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs).
The groups include:
- Antifa Ost (also known as Antifa East or Hammerbande), a German-based militant outfit that between 2018 and 2023 carried out numerous attacks in Germany and in February 2023 in Budapest, and which Hungary declared a terrorist organization on September 26, 2025.
- Informal Anarchist Federation/International Revolutionary Front (FAI/FRI), an Italy‑based anarchist militant group with self‑proclaimed affiliates across Europe, South America and Asia, which since 2003 has claimed responsibility for threats of violence, bombs and letter bombs targeting political and economic institutions.
- Armed Proletarian Justice, a Greek anarchist and anti‑capitalist group that has attempted and conducted improvised explosive device attacks including one near a Greek riot police headquarters in Goudi on December 18, 2023.
- Revolutionary Class Self‑Defense, a Greek anarchist anti‑capitalist group linked to broader political and social issues, citing opposition to “capitalist structures,” state repression and solidarity with Palestine, and claiming responsibility for two IED attacks: at the Greece Ministry of Labor on February 3, 2024 and the Hellenic Train offices on April 11, 2025.
With the designation, all property and property interests in the U.S., or under U.S. persons’ control, belonging to the groups will be blocked, and U.S. persons are generally prohibited from engaging in business with them.
It is also a crime to knowingly provide material support to the designated groups, or to attempt or conspire to do so. According to U.S. counterterrorism authorities, persons engaging in certain transactions or activities with the designated entities risk exposure to secondary sanctions.
