The US government has placed sanctions on two LPG carriers that it claims are controlled by Lebanon’s Hezbollah militant group.
The Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control also sanctioned three people and five companies that it accused of smuggling oil and LPG for the group.
Among the companies targeted in the new actions is European Lebanese International Trade (ELIT), which is represented by previously sanctioned Muhammad Qasim al-Bazzal, an alleged Hezbollah official.
