taking an oath or making a declaration of allegiance to a foreign terrorist organization after attaining the age of 18;
entering or serving in a foreign terrorist organization or the armed forces of a foreign state if such armed forces or foreign terrorist organizations are engaged in hostilities or acts of terror against the United States or U.S. nationals; and
