The United States rolled out sweeping new sanctions on Thursday, blacklisting cyber actors the Donald Trump administration says are backed by Iranian intelligence and Lebanon-based targets it says are linked to Hezbollah.
The US Department of Treasury sanctioned two Lebanon-based companies, Arch Consulting and Meamar Construction, for alleged links to the Iranian-backed Shiite group. Hezbollah Executive Council official Sultan Khalifah As’ad, who the Treasury said had close links to the two companies, was also designated.
