The US Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has imposed sanctions against two senior officials of Hizballah and two financial facilitators from Iran and Lebanon.
Mu’in Daqiq Al-‘Amili is a senior representative of Hizballah in Qom, Iran, who was involved in the coordination of cash payments from Iran to Hizballah’s finance officials in Lebanon who worked directly for Hassan Nasrallah’s office.
Jihad Alami is responsible for distributing funding for the Hassan Nasra’llah office, and Al-Amili coordinated the transfer of at least 50,000 dollars to Alami in Lebnon, which was likely collected from Iran for transfer to Gaza. Fadi Nehme is the accountant of Ibrahim Ali Daher, the head of Hizballah’s Central Financial Unit.
Senior Hizballah official Hasan Abdallah Ni’mah facilitates funding and networking opportunities for Hizballah across Africa, including managing millions of dollars worth of transactions for Hizballah.
As part of our ongoing efforts to address Iran’s support for terrorism, the Treasury will continue to intensify economic pressure on key individuals in the Iranian regime and their proxies who enable these deadly activities, said Deputy Secretary of Treasury Michael Faulkender.
