The US State Department denied that "what Hezbollah is promoting about receiving millions of dollars from Iran is not true." She stressed that she will continue to strangle Hezbollah financially with sanctions, stressing the continuation of “the Lebanese government’s support for the reconstruction of the south.” She continued: “Hezbollah brought misery to Lebanon and its people by waging a war on behalf of Iran,” noting that “even if Hezbollah receives Iranian support, it is insufficient and it will not be able to restore its terrorist structure.” “Hezbollah will never recover under the Trump administration,” she said.
