As a State Sponsor of Terrorism, Iran intends to continue funding Hezbollah; this week there was a dustup at the Beirut International Airport, when "diplomats" arriving on a MAHAN AIR flight declined to have their luggage inspected at Customs, claiming that it contained funding for the Iranian Embassy. It was highly probable that this was a bulk cash delivery to Hezbollah of US Dollars. We call this bulk cash smuggling, gentlemen, notwithstanding Iran's rights under the Vienna Convention. The luggage was ultimately admitted without inspection, but the dispute demonstrates a much more assertive Lebanese government since the terrorist organization was severely damaged by the Israel Defense Forces in 2024.
Of Note: Lebanese authorities then conducted a search of the Iranian aircraft, to insure that there were no smuggled arms & ammunition, as well as a cache of Greenbacks on board. Apparently, things have now changed in Lebanon, and the country's government intends to insure that Iran cannot openly resupply Hezbollah, whether that means war materiel or cash. We shall be closely monitoring the situation, to see what else Iran will attempt to do to aid its beleaguered terrorist ally.
