U.S. government intensifies sanctions campaign against firms and individuals tied to Hezbollah and Iranian proxies
Question
U.S. government intensifies sanctions campaign against firms and individuals tied to Hezbollah and Iranian proxies
Direct answer
New sanctions deepen financial isolation risk for Iranian-linked entities and raise the chance of further payment and trade frictions, which is bearish for Iran-exposed assets and supportive of safe-haven flows.
