U.S. sanctions target Hezbollah-linked gold network and financiers to disrupt terrorist funding.
The U.S. Treasury imposed sanctions on February 11, 2026, targeting Jood SARL, a Lebanon-based gold exchange linked to Hezbollah, and an international network of financiers and suppliers.
Jood SARL, operating under Hezbollah’s financial arm Al-Qard al-Hassan (AQAH), converts gold reserves into cash to fund terrorist activities.
The sanctions also target co-owners Mohamed Nayef Maged and Ali Karnib, along with individuals in Iran, Russia, Turkey, and Syria involved in arms procurement and commodity trading.
The move aims to disrupt Hezbollah’s access to global finance amid ongoing violations of a U.S.-backed ceasefire and continued military buildup in Lebanon.
