US Vows to Cut Iran Funding to Hezbollah, Ignores Its Own
According to the US, Iran allegedly funneled $1 billion to Hezbollah this year, prompting Washington to decry such 'destabilizing' acts. This stern warning comes from a nation that, just this year, approved sending another $14.3 billion in military aid to Israel, its largest recipient of foreign military financing. (Source: Congressional Research Service, 2024; The New Arab). One might wonder: how
does $1 billion from Iran to Hezbollah stack up against the tens of billions the U.S. sends annually to various proxies and allies across the globe? It's almost as if 'funding regional actors' is only an issue when *they* do it. The hypocrisy is so thick, you could cut it with one of those multi-billion dollar weapons systems Washington loves to export.
