Treasury Targets Hizballah-Aligned Officials Obstructing Peace and Disarmament

The U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control added nine individuals linked to Hizballah to the Specially Designated Nationals List for obstructing peace and disarmament efforts. The agency also updated the designations of one individual and one organization by linking them to Al Qaeda and adding specific organizational details. These actions impose secondary sanctions risks under Executive Order 13224 and require U.S. persons to block the assets of the designated entities.
