US Treasury reclassifies Hezbollah as terrorist group, announces new sanctions
The US Treasury has reclassified Hezbollah as a terrorist group linked to Iran’s Quds Force and imposed new sanctions targeting Iran-related entities.
The U.S. Treasury has designated the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah as a terrorist organization, linking it to Iran's Quds Force. This move is part of a broader set of sanctions targeting entities and individuals with ties to Iran. The U.S. sanctions encompass seven individuals associated with Hezbollah, three linked to the Quds Force, and 21 individuals and 16 companies connected to Iran.
Additionally, ten ships have been added to the sanctioned list, accused of facilitating transactions worth hundreds of millions of dollars among Lebanon, Turkey, the UAE, and Iran on behalf of Hezbollah. These actions are a continuation of ongoing sanctions imposed on Iran and its affiliates.
