U.S. Sanctions Senior Hezbollah Officials and Financial Facilitators Targeting Iran-Backed Funding Network

The latest measures, under Executive Order 13224, aim to disrupt Hezbollah’s global financing operations, including cash flows from Iran to Lebanon, Gaza, and Africa.

Overview

  • The U.S. Treasury and State Departments sanctioned two senior Hezbollah officials and two financial facilitators for orchestrating financial transfers to the group.
  • Mu'in Daqiq Al-'Amili was sanctioned for coordinating the delivery of funds from Iran to Gaza, including at least $50,000 after the October 2023 Hamas attack on Israel.
  • Hasan Abdallah Ni'mah was targeted for managing millions of dollars in transactions and facilitating funding to the Hezbollah-aligned Islamic Movement of Nigeria.
  • Jihad Alami and Fadi Nehme were sanctioned for roles in receiving and distributing funds and facilitating financial operations for Hezbollah’s leadership.
  • These actions align with the U.S. maximum pressure strategy to curb Iran’s destabilizing influence and support Lebanon’s sovereignty by dismantling Hezbollah’s financial networks.
