Reuters news agency reported that Iran transferred $200 million in cash to Hezbollah last month, intended to help residents evacuated from southern Lebanon. Two sources provided the information to Reuters. Hezbollah confirmed receiving money but did not specify the amount. The article casts doubt on whether the money will reach the evacuees, stating that the organization's economic assistance to evacuees has been sparse so far, and therefore the money is expected to fund terrorist activities. It also noted that transferring funds to Hezbollah through financial companies has become more difficult, possibly due to Israeli actions against the Al-Qard Al-Hasan association. The Iranian Foreign Ministry, the US State Department, and the Lebanese government did not respond.
