Iran Pays Fourfold Premium to Fund Hezbollah Aid to Displaced Lebanese
Translated & summarized from Channel 9 by baba
Iran sent $200 million to Hezbollah this month to assist 50,000 displaced Shiite families in Lebanon. Hezbollah will provide $3,000 to each family. This is the first transfer since Syria's regime change disrupted funding routes, and Iran paid significantly higher fees to brokers due to the risks involved.

Iran transferred $200 million to Hezbollah this month to aid displaced Shiite families evacuated from southern Lebanon, according to a Reuters report. Hezbollah plans to distribute $3,000 to each of approximately 50,000 families from destroyed villages where return is currently impossible.
This marks the first such transfer from Iran to Hezbollah since a change in the Syrian regime disrupted convoy systems. The report indicated that Iran had to pay brokers four times the usual rate due to the dangerous and unappealing nature of the task, especially with Israel closely monitoring financial channels between Iran and Hezbollah.
