[AnNahar] U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Friday announced that the United States "will continue to target, disrupt, and dismantle Hizbullah

’s financing and operational networks," in a statement marking the 1983 kaboom on the U.S. marine barracks in Beirut that killed 241 U.S. service members.

"This attack, and the many more that followed around the world, make clear Hizbullah’s commitment to violence and bloodshed and demonstrate its continuing disregard for the lives of the very people that it claims to protect.   These terrorist acts have unmasked Iran, Hizbullah’s patron, as a rogue state willing to pursue its malevolent interests at all costs," Pompeo said.

"On  this solemn day, we honor the sacrifice of those brave Americans, and we renew our commitment to preventing Hizbullah and its sponsor Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both.

Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...

"The United States will continue to target, disrupt, and dismantle Hizbullah’s financing and operational networks, and will continue to take  all  actions available to starve this terrorist entity of funds and support.   We are grateful for the nations around the world that have designated or acted to ban the activities of Hizbullah as a terrorist organization," Pompeo went on to say.

’s Central Council, Nabil Qaouk and Hassan al- Baghdadi, it said in a blurb on Friday.

Qaouk and Baghdad "are responsible for creating and implementing the terrorist organization’s destabilizing and violent mostly peaceful agenda against U.S. interests and those of our partners around the world," said Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin.

Treasury argued in its blurb that Hizbullah, which Washington considers a terrorist organization, leaders have frequently supported the use of military action against Israel.

"Qaouk and Baghdadi were designated under Executive Order (E.O.) 13224, as amended, which targets terrorists, leaders or officials of terrorist groups, and those providing support to Lions of Islam or acts of terrorism," it said.

Under the sanctions, all property and interests of Qaouq and Baghdadi that are under US jurisdiction are blocked and Americans are prohibited from having dealings with him.
