Maximum pressure on resistance groups, new US sanctions against Hamas
The U.S. Treasury Department announced that its Office of Foreign Assets Control has sanctioned a member of Hamas' military wing, along with two individuals based in France and two related entities it claims are funding Hamas.
According to IRNA, the ministry claimed in a statement on Friday EST: “These actions reveal a complex, multi-year funding structure that transferred more than $2 million to Hamas through deceptive charity guises and digital currency channels. This demonstrates the organization's continued ability to adapt its fundraising mechanisms to avoid detection."
