US sanctions Hezbollah financiers in Iran and Lebanon

The US Treasury Department on Thursday sanctioned two senior Hezbollah officials and two financial facilitators in Iran and Lebanon for coordinating overseas funding for the group.

The individuals, identified as Mu’in Daqiq Al-‘Amili, Jihad Alami, Fadi Nehme and Hasan Abdallah Ni’mah, are accused of helping move large sums of money, including funds from Iran to Gaza following Hamas' October 7 attack.

“These actions underscore Hezbollah’s global financial reach, particularly through Tehran,” said Deputy Treasury Secretary Michael Faulkender.

“As part of our ongoing efforts to address Iran’s support for terrorism, Treasury will continue to intensify economic pressure on the key individuals in the Iranian regime and its proxies who enable these deadly activities,” he added.
