Washington tracks Hezbollah funding routes
The United States focused on cutting off Hezbollah's sources of funding, especially after tightening financial sanctions and measures aimed at disrupting the traditional financial streams coming from Iran, which have supported its military and political capabilities in Lebanon over the years. Hezbollah has been accused of relying on multiple sources such as direct Iranian funding, drug trafficking and captagon trade, donations from Shiite supporters, and covert business networks. Nonetheless, its ability to exploit these sources has diminished due to increased legislative and regulatory measures, with an emphasis on anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing laws, as well as regulating currency exchange and money transfer companies to curtail illicit financial flows. The latest updates indicate that sanctions now target Hezbollah's financial network and restrict the use of cryptocurrencies and gold as alternative funding methods, as part of ongoing efforts to pressure and disrupt its financial sources.
