re: "Court Gives State Department Deadline to Resolve FTO Status of Iranian Group"

Robert Chesney at Lawfare ("Hard National Security Choices")informed that the Department is now under a deadline.

Money quote(s):

"A DC Circuit panel has issued an opinion giving the State Department four months maximum to make a final decision on PMOI’s petition to revoke its status as a designated foreign terrorist organization. The issue has been somewhat high profile, as that status is the predicate for material support liability under 18 USC 2339B and various immigration-law constraints…and because PMOI is an entity hostile to the government of Iran, with a considerable amount of support in Congress for its delisting."
