# The US Treasury Department has imposed sanctions on ten individuals alleged to be part of a network responsible for transferring cash to Hezbollah. This was allegedly done by couriers travelling on commercial flights between Lebanon, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates. The Office of Foreign Assets Control says the network allowed the Iranian-backed Lebanese militant group to obtain foreign currency and dodge sanctions outside the formal banking system. The department has also redesignated Hezbollah as an Iranian proxy.
