Countries including Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and the United States have added several financial entities and senior officials linked to Hezbollah to a terror-financing sanctions list, according to a CNN report. The sanctions target five entities and 16 individuals, adopted by the Terrorist Financing Targeting Center (TFTC) member states.
The Gulf Cooperation Council states and the United States have expanded their joint sanctions campaign against Hezbollah's financial infrastructure. According to CNN, the Terrorist Financing Targeting Center (TFTC) — a multilateral body including Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and the US — designated five entities and 16 senior individuals linked to the organization for their involvement in terrorism financing.
The new designations add to a growing list of US-led sanctions against Hezbollah-linked actors. As The Zioneer previously reported, the US Treasury has in recent weeks imposed sanctions on senior Hezbollah officials including Mahmoud Qamati and Lebanese politician Suleiman Frangieh, as well as broader fundraising networks. The TFTC's coordinated action signals deeper Gulf engagement in targeting Hezbollah's financial streams, alongside Washington's sustained pressure campaign.
The precise identities of the sanctioned entities and individuals have not yet been fully disclosed; this bulletin will be updated as details emerge.
