The United States sanctioned a network of senior Hizballah officials and financial facilitators. These individuals, located in Lebanon and Iran, collaborate with Hizballah leadership to manage significant financial transfers from international donors, which are crucial to the Hizballah budget.
This action supports President Trump's whole of government policy of maximum pressure against Iran and its terrorist proxies like Hizballah, as detailed in National Security Presidential Memorandum 2 issued on February 4.
The United States is committed to supporting Lebanon by exposing and disrupting funding schemes for Hizballah's terrorist activities and Iran's destabilizing influence in the region. Iran and Hizballah cannot be allowed to keep Lebanon captive. The United States will continue using tools at its disposal until this terrorist group no longer threatens the Lebanese people and the whole region.
