| [Iran Press TV] The United States has added two Lebanese men to its sanctions blacklist accusing them of laundering money for the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah. The US Treasury on Thursday claimed that the men -- Mohamad Noureddine and Hamdi Zaher El Dine -- have used a network across Asia, Europe, and the Middle East to help Hezbollah. "Noureddine has utilized an extensive network across Asia, Europe, and the Middle East to provide money laundering, bulk cash shipment, black market currency exchange, and other financial services to a variety of clients, including Hezbollah members," the Treasury said in a statement. Last year, the White House approved a bill which imposed sanctions against banks that do business with Hezbollah. Washington accuses the resistance movement of condoning terrorism. However, today is that tomorrow you were thinking about yesterday... Hezbollah has been involved in fierce fighting against Daesh [Islamic State] forces of Evil in Syria. |
