Ali Larijani, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, visited Beirut in October and allegedly transported hundreds of millions of dollars in cash.
Iranian diplomatic envoys have repeatedly flown into Beirut carrying large quantities of US currency in their luggage, according to information obtained by Iran International, in what sources describe as a direct effort to replenish Hezbollah’s depleted coffers.
The alleged transfers were conducted by at least six senior Iranian officials who arrived on civilian flights and relied on diplomatic credentials to avoid inspection at Rafik Hariri International Airport.
The funds were intended to stabilize Hezbollah’s finances after the group sustained heavy setbacks to its leadership ranks, weapons reserves and revenue streams.
