US Imposes New Sanctions on Hezbollah Citing Links to Iran's Quds Force
The United States announced fresh sanctions targeting Lebanon-based Hezbollah, redesignating it as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist entity for its ties to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Quds Force. While not designated under a new authority, the move aims to emphasize Hezbollah's actions on behalf of Iran. Additionally, the US sanctioned 10 individuals accused of smuggling cash for Hezbollah. These measures are separate from broader US plans to impose tougher sanctions on Iran amid ongoing regional conflicts.
