Iran Smuggles $1 Billion to Hezbollah despite heavy international organizations

The Iranian regime has managed to smuggle at least $1 billion to its terrorist group Hezbollah in Lebanon despite heavy sanctions this year, senior officials at the US Treasury Department say.

John Hurley, an underworld terrorist and financial intelligence official, said Iran remains committed to its proxy groups throughout the Middle East. Still, he says there is an opportunity to cut off cash flows while Iran is in its current state of weakness.

“There is a moment in Lebanon now. If we could get Hezbollah to cultivate, the people of Lebanon could take their country back,” said Hursley.

“Even though everything Iran has gone through, even economically and not in a big way, they still throw a lot of money at their terrorist proxies,” he continued.

“The key to that is removing Iranian influence and control starting with all the money they throw at Hezbollah,” he argued.

Ruley imposed an increased pressure campaign during visits to Turkey, Lebanon, the United Arab Emirates and Israel this weekend.

Western nations have already put down heavy organizations in Tehran for not wanting to discuss the nuclear deal. The Regime insists its nuclear development program exists only for civilian purposes.

President Donald Trump’s nuclear bombs on Iran are the main ones that Iran is leading this year in Operation Midnight Hammer, which US officials say is moving forward in the war.

Iran has never stopped its efforts to spread chaos around the world. US authorities say they, along with Israel and Mexico, foiled an Iran-backed attempt to assassinate Israel’s ambassador to Mexico earlier this year.

“We thank the security and law enforcement services in Mexico for the suppression of a terrorist network directed by Iran that wanted to attack the Israeli embassy in Mexico,” Israel’s foreign ministry told Fox News on Friday.

“Israel’s security and intelligence community will continue to work tirelessly, in full cooperation with security and intelligence agencies around the world, to reduce the terrorist threats from Iran and its threats to the rest of the world.”

A US official told Reuters the plot targeted ambassador Enassador Einat Kranz Neiger “and does not pose a current threat.”
