US Imposes New Sanctions on Hezbollah, Citing Links to Iran's IRGC-Quds Force
The United States has imposed fresh sanctions on Lebanon's Hezbollah, redesignating it as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist entity for acting on behalf of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Quds Force. The Treasury Department also sanctioned 10 individuals accused of smuggling cash to Hezbollah through a network using commercial flights across Lebanon, Turkey, the UAE, and Iran. These measures aim to highlight Hezbollah's ties to Iran and restrict its financial operations, separate from broader US actions targeting Iran.
