The US Treasury imposed sanctions on three top officials from the Iran-backed Hezbollah movement on Tuesday. They include two members of Lebanon’s parliament and a security official who coordinates between Hezbollah and Lebanon’s security agencies, Reuters said.

“It is an assault on the parliament and as a result an assault on all of Lebanon,” Berri, the head of Hezbollah’s ally the Amal party, said.
