U.S. Sanctions Hezbollah's Finance Network and Syrian Captagon Traffickers

The Treasury Department targets individuals and companies linked to Hezbollah's funding and Syria's amphetamine trade.

The U.S. Treasury Department imposed sanctions on three individuals and four Lebanon-based companies for allegedly funding Hezbollah.
These sanctions target a network accused of generating millions of dollars for Hezbollah through commercial trade and illicit activities.
Three individuals involved in the production and trafficking of Captagon, a highly addictive amphetamine, were also sanctioned.
The Treasury Department states that proceeds from Captagon trafficking support both Hezbollah and the Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad.
This action is part of ongoing efforts to disrupt Hezbollah’s financial operations amidst heightened Middle East tensions.
