Sanctioning Senior Members of Longstanding Hizballah Financial Institution Al-Qard Al-Hassan (AQAH) 07/03/2025 11:08 AM EDT Tammy Bruce, Department Spokesperson HomeOffice of the SpokespersonPress Releases…Sanctioning Senior Members of Longstanding Hizballah Financial Institution Al-Qard Al-Hassan (AQAH) hide Sanctioning Senior Members of Longstanding Hizballah Financial Institution Al-Qard Al-Hassan (AQAH) Press Statement July 3, 2025 Today, the United States sanctioned seven senior officials and one entity linked to Al-Qard Al-Hassan (AQAH), a Hizballah-controlled financial institution.  These officials, through their management roles, have facilitated Hizballah's evasion of sanctions, enabling AQAH to conduct millions of dollars in transactions through "shadow" accounts. In addition, the Department's Rewards for Justice (RFJ) program is offering a reward of up to $10 million for information leading to the disruption of Hizballah financial mechanisms.  Individuals with useful information should contact RFJ via Signal, Telegram, or WhatsApp at +1-202-702-7843. They could be eligible for a reward and relocation. The United States remains committed to supporting Lebanon by disrupting schemes that empower Hizballah's destabilizing influence.  We will continue to employ all available tools to ensure that this terrorist group no longer poses a threat to the Lebanese people and the region. Today's action is being taken pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 13224, as amended, which targets terrorist groups and their supporters.  The Department of State previously designated Hizballah as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and a Specially Designated Global Terrorist. More information regarding today's designations can be found in Treasury's press release. .  Tags Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs Counterterrorism Division for Counter Threat Finance and Sanctions Hizbollah Lebanon Office of the Spokesperson Sanctions and Designations Stay connected with the Department of State:          Manage Subscriptions  |  Unsubscribe-All Privacy Policy | Subscriber Help External links found in this content or on Department of State websites that go to non-Department websites should not be construed as an endorsement of the views or privacy policies contained therein.  This email was sent to caterresearch9.news@blogger.com using GovDelivery Communications Cloud on behalf of: U.S. Department of State · 2201 C Street NW · Washington, DC 20520
