The United States Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC)  placed three Lebanon-based officials and 12 Lebanon-based entities on the list of Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGTs) on Wednesday or the links to Iran’s ‘Martyrs Foundation’, which is part of Hezbollah’s support network.

The Iranian regime is the world’s biggest state sponsor of terrorism. For the past four decades, it has based its foreign policy on expanding throughout the Middle East. Most of its efforts have been centered around Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and Iraq where the Iranian regime has established and provided extensive support to numerous militia groups.
