Tehran-Linked Care Cutoff
The Central Bank of Lebanon has halted direct financial transfers to Al-Rasoul Al-Aazam Hospital and the Lebanese Medical Center, while preserving its employees’ right to hospital care and reimbursement of expenses. Employees are required to pay the bills in cash and then submit the supporting documents to the bank. The measure is linked to the hospitals’ accounts at Bank Saderat Iran, whose license the central bank has decided to revoke, and whose operations it will liquidate and wind down at the beginning of 2027. It is also tied to Circular No. 170, issued on July 14, 2025, which tightened restrictions on dealings with entities subject to sanctions. The state is considering paying the institutions concerned in cash, with the finance minister to determine the payment mechanism. The suspension of transfers could also extend to other hospitals and companies if they are subject to sanctions.
