New rules for terrorist organizations and U.S. entry.

New rules make it harder for individuals linked to foreign terrorist organizations, including the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, to enter the U.S. They also change how organizations are removed from terrorist lists, requiring joint certification from two secretaries and allowing Congress to block such decisions. This aims to enhance national security and control over who can enter the country.
Key points

Revoking a terrorist organization designation requires joint certification from the Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense.
