       In an interview with a TV station on the evening of the 9th local time, Lebanese Finance Minister Ali Hassan Khalil said that the US sanctions were "groundless and not conducive to financial stability" and "without justifiable reasons".

       On the 11th, members of the Lebanese Parliament belonging to the Party of Allah held a meeting in Beirut to discuss countermeasures. Two members who were sanctioned by the US side, mohamed hassan Raad and Amin Sheri, also attended the meeting.

       Hezbollah in Lebanon was founded in the 1980s, and has been listed as a terrorist organization by the United States since 1997. It has been sanctioned many times before. However, through the parliamentary elections in May last year and the formation of a new cabinet in January this year, Hezbollah’s influence in Lebanon continued to rise, which once again triggered US concerns.
