US imposes new sanctions on Hezbollah targeting its gold and financial networks

The United States has announced new sanctions against Hezbollah, a group based in Lebanon. The sanctions specifically target a gold exchange firm and an international procurement network that the US says are key sources of funding for the group.

Separately, a US commander praised the Lebanese Armed Forces for discovering tunnels used by Hezbollah, and US Senator Lindsey Graham criticized Lebanon's government for its relationship with the group.
