Hezbollah has received $200 million from Iran to aid Lebanese civilians displaced by the ongoing war with Israel, according to two sources familiar with the matter who spoke to Reuters. This marks the first significant financial assistance the organization has provided to its supporters during the current conflict.
The funds were delivered in cash last month, despite mounting U.S. economic pressure on Iran and increasing difficulties in transferring money to Tehran's Lebanese ally, the sources stated. Hezbollah plans to use the money to provide an initial payment of $3,000 to each affected family, prioritizing those whose homes in villages have been destroyed or are inaccessible due to Israeli control of the area. One source estimated that approximately 50,000 families would benefit from this aid.
This financial transfer occurs even as Iran has continued to support Hezbollah financially throughout years of severe U.S. sanctions. The U.S. Treasury Department reported that Iran transferred $1 billion to the organization in the first ten months of 2025.
