US report uncovers Hezbollah's hidden assets in Syria
Recent reports confirm that financial and commercial networks linked to Hezbollah still operate within Syria, despite the decline in the group's military presence following the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime. The American organization "Defense of Democracies" revealed that these networks continue their activities through companies subject to U.S. sanctions, operating in sectors such as metals, agriculture, real estate, and import/export. They maintain relationships with individuals and entities under sanctions, particularly the Bazzaal network, which is accused of transferring proceeds from Iranian oil. The report also warns that reopening the Syrian economy without comprehensive financial oversight could enable Hezbollah to rebuild its financial infrastructure and increase its ability to finance its activities. It calls on Washington to conduct further investigations and apply pressure on Damascus to prevent money laundering and terrorism financing.
