Hezbollah calls US sanctions a ‘badge of honour’ 🚨
Earlier, we reported that the US Treasury Department announced new sanctions targeting nine individuals in Lebanon accused of aiding Hezbollah.
In a statement, Hezbollah called the sanctions “an American attempt to intimidate the free Lebanese people in order to support the Zionist aggression against our country”.
“These sanctions are a badge of honour for those included in them, and further confirmation of the correctness of our choice,” it said.
Hezbollah reaffirmed its determination to resist Israeli and US pressure, saying sanctions are “not worth the ink they were written with”.
The sanctions come before a meeting later this month between Pentagon officials and their Lebanese counterparts.
Hezbollah called the move a “blatant attempt to intimidate our official security institutions and subject the state to the conditions of American guardianship”.
