Iran has transferred $200 million to the Lebanese organization Hezbollah to assist Lebanese citizens who lost their homes or were displaced due to the war with Israel. The transfer reportedly occurred in September, according to Reuters, citing two sources.
Hezbollah intends to distribute $3,000 to each affected family in the initial phase. Priority will be given to residents of areas that were destroyed or remain inaccessible due to the presence of Israeli forces. One source indicated that approximately 50,000 families are expected to benefit.
Intermediaries involved in facilitating the transfer from Iran received a 20% commission, estimated to be four times the usual rate, due to the high-risk nature of the operation. A Hezbollah representative confirmed receipt of the funds to Reuters, stating that a distribution plan would be announced soon, but did not disclose the source of the funding.
The transfer proceeded despite U.S. sanctions and measures aimed at curbing financial flows from Iran. Iranian and Lebanese authorities, as well as the U.S. Treasury Department, had not provided comments at the time of the report.
