الكونغرس الاميركي يقر عقوبات على المصارف التي تتعامل مع حزب الله
Read this story in English
أقر الكونغرس الاميركي الاربعاء بالاجماع قانونا يفرض عقوبات على المصارف التي تتعامل مع حزب الله الذي تعتبره الولايات المتحدة منذ 1995 "منظمة ارهابية".
واقر مجلس النواب القانون باجماع 422 عضوا على غرار ما فعل مجلس الشيوخ في السابع عشر من تشرين الثاني. ويفترض ان يرسل النص الى البيت الابيض ليوقعه الرئيس باراك اوباما.
واستهدف النواب قناة "المنار" ايضا عبر العمل على قطع تعاملها مع مشغلي الاقمار الصناعية التي تبث برامجها.
واكد مسؤول كبير في البيت الابيض لوكالة "فرانس برس" ان الرئيس اوباما سيوقع القانون، لافتا الى ان الادارة عملت مع الكونغرس لسنوات "لتكثيف الضغط على منظمة حزب الله الارهابية".
ويفرض القانون على الرئيس الاميركي وضع قواعد لمعاقبة المؤسسات المالية التي تعقد صفقات مع حزب الله او تقوم بتبييض اموال لمصلحته.
كما يطلب من الادارة الاميركية ان تقدم الى الكونغرس سلسلة تقارير تكشف عن نشاط الحزب في "تهريب المخدرات والجريمة العابرة للحدود وعمليات مجموعات دولية مرتبطة بحزب الله" خصوصا في اميركا اللاتينية وافريقيا جنوب الصحراء وآسيا، بحسب النص.
وسيكون على الرئيس اوباما ان يقدم بعد 120 يوما اي بحلول نيسان هذه التقارير.
وستعد الادارة الاميركية لائحة بالدول التي تدعم حزب الله او تلك التي يقيم فيها قاعدة لوجستية اساسية.
وقال خبير في التشريع في الكونغرس لوكالة فرانس برس انه "كان على حزب الله اقامة شبكة واسعة لان معظم المصارف اللبنانية لم ترغب في العمل معه".
من جهتها، قالت الجمهورية جاكي والورسكي العضو في الكونغرس "لا شك ان حزب الله اقوى اليوم اكثر من اي وقت مضى". ووصفت الحزب بانه عدو خطير على اسرائيل قام بتكديس اكثر من 150 الف صاروخ وقذيفة.
وتتهم وزارة الخارجية الاميركية حزب الله ايضا بدعم نظام الرئيس السوري بشار الاسد في سوريا.
وادرجت الولايات المتحدة حزب الله منذ 1995 على لائحة "المنظمات الارهابية" وتتهمه بلائحة طويلة من الهجمات من بينها السفارة الاميركية ومقر قيادة مشاة البحرية (المارينز) في لبنان في 1983.
وقال الرئيس الديموقراطي للجنة الشؤون الخارجية اليوت انجيل ان هدف حزب الله هو "تقويض الاستقلال السياسي للبنان ودعم الاهداف الخطيرة لايران".
واضاف "نحتاج الى ان نستبق ذلك".
وتابع انجيل ان حزب الله "تحول الى منظمة ارهابية متطورة ومعقدة ونحتاج الى رد مناسب لمواجهة هذا التحدي".
وقال السناتور ماركو روبيو المرشح الجمهوري للرئاسة الاميركية في 2016 ورعى صيغة النص في مجلس الشيوخ انه من الضروري ان تقوم الادارة الاميركية ب"تطبيق العقوبات فورا من اجل لجم عنف حزب الله".
واضاف ان "اميركا وحلفاءنا في الشرق الاوسط سيكونون اكثر أمانا عندما نتخذ هذه الخطوات لاضعاف حزب الله وبالتالي اضعاف قادته الايرانيين".
ورحبت لجنة الشؤون العامة الاميركية الاسرائيلية (ايباك) اللوبي المؤيد لاسرائيل الذي يتخذ من واشنطن مقرا له، بالقانون مؤكدة انه يؤمن "اداة مهمة ضد العدوان الايراني في المنطقة".
يشار أيضا الى ان السعودية كانت أعلنت نهاية الشهر الماضي فرض عقوبات على 12 شخصا ومؤسسة قالت انهم يعملون "لصالح حزب الله" وبينهم قياديون، داعية الى عدم "السكوت" عن الحزب طالما يشن "هجمات ارهابية".

Start by bank audi in geneva... You'll live what you can find there...

he doesnt need to mention sect in each of his comments to be sectarian. he is sectarian and that is a fact. i dont understand why you're always so desperate to reject facts.

Dear southern let me put it that way:
We or let it be; I am against the dictator assad that doesnot mean i am pro da3ech or if u conssider all syrian oppressed by assad and wanting him to go da3ech members...
I am against israel and of course with the resistance, but the patriotic one not the islamic resistance of hezbollah which assassinated a lot of leftists and even snsp in south lebanon to take control...
Ur idlamic resistance or to make it more realistic our local shiite fanatic millicia backed by a more fanatic regime of the islamic republic of iran and his suprem leadder is in no way helping lebanon but dragging us in a conflict dating from thr prophet's death, really all the ya hussein banners, this crasy war from syria irak yemen is it helping lebanon???

At the end another exemple, i'm against monarchies in general(being democrate) and of course happy the iranian got rid of the shah, but in the iranian revolution there was leftists and marxists and what did ur beloved islamists guys did after the revolution was over? Tens of thousands leftists were executed jail or simply diseappered.. That is the kind of party u are supporting...
So please stop lecturing us man, go whatch some more manar, maybe u'll go fight also in the next "labayka ya hussein" battle...
For the sake of lebanon, of course...
:)

This was an aswer to my dear southern...
This said i'm against hezbollah in every aspect, on political level, on religious fanatism, any kind of fanatism for them
It is iranian shiite fanatism, and i'm glad they cut off the money drain, eventhough i donnot trust the american gov at all (they are willing to do a pact with the devel if any interest in it, recent history is there to prove it...

The badge on his arm says "Men of God are coming"... the question is coming with what? Drugs, arms, smuggled goods, stolen property, stolen IDs.....

It is useless as long as Iran exists. To weaken Iran, Syria needs to be weaken and so on..

pityful hezbi lovers who support a regime who perpetrates crimes against humanity and are proud of it instead of denouncing it like they denounce crimes made by ISIS...
a real defender of freedom would denounce both as i do, but hezbi lovers are too fond of bashar and his crimes to even notice it... tfeh!
"The pictures released by HRW appeared to show the bodies of some 6,000 Syrian detainees -- often bearing marks of torture or starvation -- who allegedly died in government detention centers or after being transferred to military hospitals. "
that is the regime they support and call them "resistants" TFEH on them...

The watchdog said one of the victims, 14 year-old Ahmad al-Musalmani, died in government custody after being arrested for having an anti-regime song on his phone in 2012.
these are the "terrorists" according to mooowaten and his hezbi friends here and are proud to defend bashar's regime....

no but about sanctioning those terrorists supporting a terrorist... that you proudly support too, i know but you would never admit it as every hezbi lover....

at least the US do not torture and beat to death as a national policy their own citizens because they oppose the gvt ...
the US do not erase their own cities by bombing innocent citizens just so the president stays in power...

tell us which country does not kill people in foreign countries to preserve their interests? russia? iran? the countries you support do the exact same thing as the US....
syria is killings its children, its own people just so bashar's keeps his power and you call it a resistant country because israel is its "enemy" even if they never dared shoot a single bullet to free the golan in 40 years! LOL ... but it is all right by you hezbi supporters.
you are blind to see what syria does but quick to criticize other countries as long as they do not fight israel....

No this is all fake imperialistic propaganda; assad would never do that man....

If the Dead Could Speak
Mass Deaths and Torture in Syria’s Detention Facilities
https://www.hrw.org/report/2015/12/16/if-dead-could-speak/mass-deaths-and-torture-syrias-detention-facilities

No man all fake, assad killing his people?? All propaganda man, he was so nice to us lebanese, who would act like this on his own people?....

So nothing is related bigjohn...
The congress and the governement worked on it bigjohn, to get back to the article, same gov that gave irak to maliki/iran, same gov that is going after iranian money like it was for saudi money, so stop picturing it as an israelli decidion
Same goes for france and most of europe via vis of hezbollah

Sonthe native want anykind of support against enemy? So da3ech going against al malaki thughs, or popular brigades, or faylak badder, or aboufadel al abbas or annu shiite iranian backed millicia should be enough for sunit population marganalised by the iraki/iranian governement to be with da3ech???
Man as i hope that the sunits or patritic iraki against iranian supremacy in irak, cause that was the case, are smart enough not to follow those retarded fanatic da3ech guys, i also hope the shiite lebanese population like any other patriotic lebanese (what ever religious believe he has) donnot follow our local fanatic shiite/iranian backed millicia...

This was in answer to u comenent which was not only on the cogress cutting of money access to hezbos bigjohn, so as an aswer to ur coment, anthing to say on it?...
