US, Gulf allies sanction Iran and Hezbollah

The United States and six Gulf allies on Wednesday announced sanctions on 25 entities associated with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the Lebanese-based Hezbollah terrorist organization.

The move was welcomed by Foreign Minister Yisrael Katz (Likud) who wrote on Twitter in Hebrew, “I applaud the decision by the US and the Persian Gulf countries to impose further sanctions on Hezbollah and the Iranian Revolutionary Guards.”
