The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has designated Hizballah-aligned Lebanese officials, as well as members of a Hizballah-associated business network overseen by Alaa Hassan Hamieh. The Lebanese officials designated on June 18 have used their influence to obstruct Lebanon’s peace process and delay the disarmament of Hizballah. OFAC is also expanding upon the March 20, 2026, designations of Alaa Hamieh and his business network by targeting additional interlocutors in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Oman who raise funds, execute contracts, and operate front companies to generate revenue for Hizballah.
“Hizballah must disarm for Lebanon to achieve a secure and prosperous future,” said Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent.
Sleiman Antoine Frangie is the leader of the Lebanese Marada Movement and has used his strategic alliance with Hizballah to benefit his own political ambitions. Frangie accepted financial support from Hizballah in exchange for supporting Hizballah’s efforts to target the parliamentary seats of reformist and independent members of parliament in Lebanese parliamentary elections. Deputy Head of Hizballah’s political council Mahmoud Qamati coordinates cash smuggling from Iran for Hizballah and advocates for Hizballah’s interests in Lebanon.
Alaa Hamieh and U.S.-designated Bahaa Addin Hashem are co-owners of Lebanon-based Globe Technology Providers SARL which is the technical arm of the Hizballah-linked, Syria-based company Al-Ahd Company for Trade and Investment. In early 2024, Hizballah finance team official Muhammad Al-Bazzal was instrumental in initiating Globe SARL’s contracts with the former al-Assad regime in Syria. The al-Assad regime — a critical ally of Hizballah — agreed that U.S.-designated Hizballah finance team company represented by its local agent, al-Assad regime henchman Yassar Husayn Ibrahim’s business Al-‘Ahd Company, would supply and operate equipment for fees of nearly ten million dollars.
In July 2025, Muhammad Al-Bazzal, Alaa Hamieh, and Maya Boustany, designated for her multiple roles at Alaa Hamieh’s companies, collaborated to establish an insurance company in Iraq. The new company, Al-Shafa Administrative Services Limited, was led by Alaa Hamieh’s employee, Chief Executive Officer Wael Costanteen, and purported to focus on insurance management services. In 2017, Alaa Hamieh founded Lebanon-based Tyke SAL, which is registered to engage in a variety of commercial and real estate activities. In September 2023, Alaa Hamieh’s brother, Muhammad Hassan Hamieh, took over Alaa Hamieh’s shares in Tyke SAL and joined the board of directors of the company. As of December 2025, Muhammad Hamieh runs Tyke SAL.
“Treasury,” said Secretary Bessent, “will continue to target Hizballah’s financial networks and hold accountable those who enable the group to undermine the Lebanese state and threaten prospects for lasting peace.”
