US sanctions Hezbollah transfer network
The U.S. Treasury Department has imposed sanctions on 10 individuals forming a network responsible for transferring funds to Hezbollah via ambassadors who utilize commercial flights between Lebanon, Turkey, and Iran. The transferred amounts reach hundreds of millions of dollars, aimed at evading sanctions and providing a channel to finance the party. The department also reclassified Hezbollah on the list of terrorist organizations due to its provision of services to the Iranian regime led by the Quds Force, which the department has also designated as a global terrorist entity. The department confirms that the network was previously linked to the financial officer of the Quds Force and exploits Turkish money exchange companies and dummy firms to secretly transfer money through commercial flights, with the goal of funding Hezbollah's activities and organizations associated with Iran.
