Hezbollah (apparently) gets a lot of money from drug running operations run by Lebanese Hezbollah outfits in Latin America. But that’s not the most surprising thing in this report.
The latest announcement comes on the heels of President Donald Trump’s decision to pass tough sanctions against Hezbollah. The sanctions are aimed at businesses in Sierra Leone, Ghana, and Liberia, which the Treasury Department believe “sit at the nexus of Hezbollah’s cash flows.”

According to an investigative report published by Politico in December last year, Obama administration blocked the U.S. law enforcement plans to dismantle Hezbollah’s drug-running operations on American soil to avoid annoying the Iranian regime ahead of the nuclear deal.
