U.S. imposes new sanctions on Lebanese figures

The United States has imposed a new package of sanctions targeting Lebanese officials, members, and companies affiliated with businessman Alaa Hassan Hmia, who is involved in obstructing the peace process in Lebanon and hindering efforts to disarm Hezbollah. The U.S. Treasury Department confirmed that the sanctions include adding new individuals and entities from Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Oman to the sanctions lists, with the aim of freezing assets and prohibiting financial transactions with those targeted. Washington had previously imposed sanctions on Hmia and his network in March 2026 for their involvement in financial activities supporting the party.
