DEPARTMENT OF STATE

[Public Notice: 12115]


Designation of Arkan Ahmad `Abbas al-Matuti and Nawaf Ahmad Alwan 
al-Rashidi as Specially Designated Global Terrorists

    Acting under the authority of and in accordance with section 
1(a)(ii)(B) of E.O. 13224 of September 23, 2001, as amended by E.O. 
13268 of July 2, 2002, E.O. 13284 of January 23, 2003, and E.O. 13886 
of September 9, 2019, I hereby determine that the persons known as 
Arkan Ahmad `Abbas al-Matuti (also known as Arkan Ahmad Abbas Albu-
Mazida Albu-Miteuti, Arkan Ahmad `Abbas al-Mitiwiti, and Abu Sarhan) 
and Nawaf Ahmad Alwan al-Rashidi (also known as Qahtan Nawaf Ahmad 
Alwan Sada, Nawaf Ahmed Alwan, and Abu Faris) are leaders of ISIS, a 
group whose property and interests in property are currently blocked 
pursuant to a determination by the Secretary of State pursuant to E.O. 
13224.
    Consistent with the determination in section 10 of E.O. 13224 that 
prior notice to persons determined to be subject to the Order who might 
have a constitutional presence in the United States would render 
ineffectual the blocking and other measures authorized in the Order 
because of the ability to transfer funds instantaneously, I determine 
that no prior notice needs to be provided to any person subject to this 
determination who might have a constitutional presence in the United 
States, because to do so would render ineffectual the measures 
authorized in the Order.
    This notice shall be published in the Federal Register.

    Dated: June 20, 2023.
Antony J. Blinken,
Secretary of State.
