U.S. sanctioned Jammal Trust Bank in Lebanon for knowingly facilitating financing for Hizballah
[TWITTER]

Today, the U.S. sanctioned Jammal Trust Bank in Lebanon for knowingly facilitating financing for Hizballah. Individuals and entities who support Iranian-affiliated terrorist groups will continue to pay a price: there is nowhere to run from the long reach of U.S. sanctions.

The Times of Israel adds:

In Beirut, the Association of Banks in Lebanon voiced “regret” over the US move — while insisting all funds deposited with Jammal Trust Bank were safe and stressing the ability of the country’s central bank to remedy the situation if need be.

The Treasury, in partnership with the Arab nation of Oman, also sanctioned Mohammad Sarur, Kamal Abdelrahman Aref Awad and Fawaz Mahmud Ali Nasser for supporting Hamas.

Thursday’s action blocks any property or interests in property that the targets have within US jurisdiction. It also bans Americans from engaging in transactions with them and prohibits transactions involving them from moving through the United States.
