OFAC sanctions 8 Hizballah-aligned officials/entities

OFAC imposed blocking sanctions on three individuals (two in Lebanon and one in Iraq/Lebanon) and five entities (two in Lebanon, one in Syria, one in Iraq, and one in Oman) under its Counter terrorism sanctions program for supporting Hizballah's financial network and undermining Lebanese state authority. The designations target Lebanese political officials, along with members of a business network controlled by U.S.-designated Alaa Hassan Hamieh, including companies operating front operations in multiple countries to generate revenue for the Hizballah network.
