US imposes fresh sanctions on Hezbollah, redesignates as Iranian proxy

The United States on Thursday imposed new sanctions on Hezbollah, redesignating the group as an Iranian proxy. The Treasury Department sanctioned 10 individuals allegedly involved in a cash-transfer network moving hundreds of millions of dollars via couriers on commercial flights between Lebanon, Turkiye, the UAE, and Iran. The move highlights Hezbollah's operations as an extension of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Quds Force.
