U.S. Treasury imposes sanctions on an Iraqi lawmaker


The U.S. Department of the Treasury on Monday said it has officially sanctioned Hossein Moanes al-Ibudi, an Iraqi politician and senior member of the Iran-aligned Kata'ib Hezbollah group, for his alleged role in supporting the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and its proxy network.

Al-Ibudi, known as Hossein Moanes, is the leader of Huqouq movement, the political wing of Kata'ib Hezbollah and a member of the Iraqi parliament. Previously, he served as the chief of government relations in the movemet.

A blurb by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) said that the Iraqi politician said that Moanes was involved in "gathering intelligence on, kidnapping, or even assassinating Iraqis identified as working with the United States as well as planning terrorist attacks on civilian targets with the help of the IRGC Quds Force."

According to the blurb, these sanctions are part of a broader U.S. effort to target individuals and entities supporting the IRGC-QF and its proxies.

Kata'ib Hezbollah has faced accusations of escalating drone and missile attacks against U.S. personnel in Iraq and Syria, with ties to recent actions following Hamas
...a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
's attack on Israel.

Brian E. Nelson, Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, emphasized, "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. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
and its proxies have sought to abuse regional economies and use seemingly legitimate businesses as cover for funding and facilitating their attacks. The United States will continue to disrupt Iran's illicit activities aimed at undermining the stability of the region."

Sanctions against al-Ibudi are being imposed under Executive Order 13224, targeting Death Eaters and their supporters. Kata'ib Hezbollah was previously designated as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) and a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) by the U.S. government.

Hossein Moanes al-Ibudi is also accused of materially assisting, sponsoring, or providing financial, material, or technological support to Kata'ib Hezbollah.
