Following the Money
US Treasury: Iran sent Hezbollah more than $1 billion in 2025, mostly through money exchangers, not banks.
Sanctions have hammered Al-Qard al-Hassan and pushed Hezbollah out of the banking system. Its money now moves through exchangers, gold and couriers.
The Disarmament Test
Lebanon has promised to disarm Hezbollah three times since 2024 and missed every deadline.
The army declared the south under its control in January 2026. Eight weeks later, Hezbollah went to war from the south.
Rearming North of the Litani
Assad’s fall cut Hezbollah’s land bridge from Iran. Syria has since seized at least 8 shipments bound for the group.

Part 1: Who Runs Hezbollah Now
Israel killed Hezbollah’s chief of staff in Nov 2025, then its intelligence chief and southern front commander in 2026.

Our new 7-part series examines Hezbollah from every side.
Part 4: RAF Fairford Charges
Two men are now charged over RAF Fairford, under the National Security Act, not terrorism law.

There was no bomb. The “bomb” was a message sent to the drivers.

Who Gets the Aid Money? $8 Billion, 9% Traceable, and the Taliban’s Cut
Donors have paid $8 billion in aid to Taliban-ruled Afghanistan since 2021. A new tracker finds only 9% can be followed past the first recipient, and $1.42 billion went to recipients listed as “confidential.”
From Montréal to the Triple Frontier: Following Hezbollah’s Money in the Americas
Canada’s own 2025 risk assessment names Hezbollah the second-largest terrorist destination for money leaving Canada, and the Port of Montréal a “known link” for vehicles shipped to Lebanon to fund it. Last week, FINTRAC revoked 82 money service business licenses.
