According to a report in The Wall Street Journal, Iran has transferred hundreds of millions of dollars to Hezbollah over the past year using commercial companies operating in Dubai, United Arab Emirates — a method that allows Tehran to bypass international sanctions.
The report describes a simple but highly effective mechanism: money is deposited with a dealer in Dubai and then immediately withdrawn by a corresponding dealer in Lebanon, effectively moving vast sums to the terror organization while avoiding Western monitoring.
The system, according to the report, exploits gaps in regional financial oversight and relies on a network of business entities that enable Iran to discreetly sustain Hezbollah’s operations despite heavy economic pressure.
