The U.S. Department of the Treasury has expanded sanctions against Lebanese businessman Alaa Hmeia, who is linked to Hezbollah. The sanctions now include a network of companies and individuals operating on behalf of the party in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Oman. U.S. authorities indicate that Hmeia controls companies used to raise funds and carry out commercial projects, some worth tens of millions of dollars, with the aim of supporting and financing Hezbollah's activities. Washington considers this network to be part of the party's financial infrastructure, involving various financial transfer operations, with asset freezes and trade bans imposed on the companies and individuals associated with them.
