The Lebanese militia group has been sanctioned by the United States
The U.S. Department of the Treasury announced that as part of its maximum pressure policy against the Islamic Republic, it has added five individuals and three companies associated with the Lebanese militia group, who are involved in evading sanctions and financially supporting this group through a network based in Lebanon, to the sanctions list.
According to this statement, the financial team of this militia group, by launching profitable commercial projects and oil smuggling networks, often in collaboration with the Quds Force of the IRGC, provides and transfers significant financial resources for this group.
The statement mentions that this sanctioned network, using shell companies, has generated millions of dollars in revenue for this militia group and uses it to support the group’s terrorist activities. It also allows accomplices and family members, including those sanctioned today, to gain wealth through these commercial activities.
