Names of the figures included on the U.S

Those targeted were divided into two main categories:

1. Hezbollah’s Political Representatives:

Mohammad Abdel Mottaleb Fneish (Mohammad Fneish): Head of Hezbollah’s Executive Council, responsible for restructuring the party’s administrative and institutional framework. He is also a former MP and former Minister of Youth and Sports.

Hassan Nezameddine Fadlallah (Hassan Fadlallah): A Hezbollah member of the Lebanese Parliament since 2005. He contributed to the establishment of Al-Nour Radio and the management of Al-Manar TV.

Ibrahim Al-Moussawi: Head of Hezbollah’s Media Committee and current member of the Lebanese Parliament.

Hussein Hajj Hassan: A Hezbollah member since 1982 and MP since 1996. He is considered a key figure opposing the disarmament of the party.

2. Hezbollah’s Security and Political Partners:

Mohammad Reza Shibani: Iran’s appointed ambassador to Lebanon, whom the Lebanese Foreign Ministry declared “persona non grata” and ordered expelled from Beirut for allegedly violating diplomatic norms.

Ahmad Asaad Baalbaki: Security official in the Amal Movement, accused of coordinating with Hezbollah in shows of force and intimidation against political opponents.

Ali Ahmad Safawi: Amal Movement commander in southern Lebanon, operating under Baalbaki’s authority. He allegedly coordinated with Hezbollah in launching attacks and joint military operations against Israel.

Brigadier General Khattar Nassereddine: Head of the National Security Directorate within Lebanon’s General Security agency, accused of sharing sensitive intelligence with Hezbollah during the ongoing conflict last year.

Colonel Samer Hamadeh: Head of the Dahieh branch within Lebanese Army Intelligence, also accused of sharing intelligence with Hezbollah.

Geopolitical Remark:

This sanctions package signals that Washington is no longer limiting pressure to Hezbollah’s military apparatus alone, but is increasingly targeting the broader political, media, diplomatic, and state-security ecosystem surrounding the party. The deeper question is whether the United States is attempting to isolate Hezbollah specifically, or whether it is reshaping the balance of power within the Lebanese state itself by redefining which actors are considered “legitimate” partners in Lebanon’s future political order.
