PressTV-US imposes new sanctions on Hezbollah

The US House of Representatives has endorsed new sanctions on the Lebanese resistance group Hezbollah.

The new sanctions were passed by voice vote, without opposition on Wednesday on the pretext of the resistance group’s “acts of death and destruction.”

This is while Hezbollah has played a major role in battling Daesh Takfiri terrorists near the Lebanese border with Syria.

“These critical measures will impose new sanctions to crack down on Hezbollah’s financing, and hold it accountable for its acts of death and destruction,” said Representative Ed Royce, the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
