US Designates Hezbollah Leader's Son as Terrorist

The United States has officially designated the son of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and the Al-Mujahidin Brigades, a group linked to Hezbollah, as global terrorists, which subjects them to tough sanctions. The U.S. State Department said Tuesday that "today’s designations seek to deny Nasrallah and the AMB the resources to plan and carry out terrorist attacks." VOA'S Zlatica Hoke reports the actions are intended to maintain the momentum of U.S. sanctions against Iran.
