United States Department of State Spokesperson John Kirby tackled the sanctions imposed against Hezbollah, noting that these measures represent a continuation to the US efforts against Hezbollah, since they give the US government the authority to impose further sanctions against this “terrorist organization” and those who support it around the world.
On another note, he stressed that the safety of Lebanon’s financial system is a priority to Washington, pointing out that the US government will work in order to isolate Hezbollah from the international financial system.
