U.S. Treasury Secretary Vows 'Deterrent' Measures against Hizbullah

U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin announced Wednesday that Washington will take “deterrent” measures against Hizbullah.

Speaking at the Future Investment Initiative conference in Riyadh, Mnuchin said the United States and its allies in the region will discuss a host of measures in the coming period.

Republican leaders of the U.S. House of Representatives had revealed on October 21 that the House would vote on new sanctions against Iran and Hizbullah within a few days.

The expected measures are part of U.S. President Donald Trump's latest anti-Tehran drive.
