The US House passed sanction legislation against Hezbollah

The House of Representatives passed H.R. 2297, the Hezbollah International Financial Prevention Act of 2015, which would strengthen economic sanctions against Hezbollah, a terrorist organization that continues to pose a threat to the United States, and its allies, and interests throughout the Middle East and beyond. 
H.R. 2297 takes a comprehensive approach to addressing the threat posed by Hezbollah by imposing severe new sanctions on Hezbollah’s fundraising channels and restricting its ability to use its funds to support global terrorist activities. The legislation also targets Hezbollah’s media appendage, al-Manar, and forces other critical designations to undermine the terrorist organization’s illicit activities.

Royce, Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said: “Years ago Hezbollah was a limited, regional threat. Today, it is a global threat conducting terrorist and criminal activities all over the world”.

H.R. 2297 requires the Administration to provide a comprehensive overview of countries supporting Hezbollah, including those governments that are not taking adequate efforts to disrupt Hezbollah’s global logistics networks.

Hezbollah was founded by the Iranian regime’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) soon after the 1979 revolution in Iran. The group is fighting in Syria to save the Bashar al-Assad regime. On November 2014, the Iranian regime’s Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) boasted of how it has supplied Lebanese Hezbollah with missile systems. In January 2014, the current Iranian regime’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif laid a wreath on the grave of ImadMughniyeh, a principal leader and operative that served in Hezbollah’s military for several years. Imad Mughniyeh was the main man behind the 1983 Beirut bombing of the Marine Barracks in Lebanon.

Hussein Salami, Deputy Commander of the Iranian regime’s Revolutionary Guards admitted the regime’s meddling in Yemen as well as other countries of the region by creating proxy groups. He stated that groups like Hezbollah are no longer in only in Lebanon but today such forces have been formed in Yemen and Syria.

Saudi Arabia asked on November 2014, the U.N. Security Council to put Hezbollah on its list of 'terrorist organizations'. 'We call on the council to place Hezbollah on the list of terrorist organizations,' Saudi envoy to the Security Council Abdallah Al-Mouallimi said. 

How world reliefs from Iran global threats?

Iran playing a destabilizing role in the Middle East and it is a threat for global peace. It supports Hezbollah in Lebanon. It actively try to interrupt Palestinian peace process. It send arms and intelligence to Houthi rebels in Yemen. It backs criminal Assad in Syria, and support Shiites militias in Iraq. 

So how can we stop Iran doing all this things? Maybe President Obama’s answer to this question is to reach a deal with Iran. This idea justifies why Washington tried to solicit Tehran’s cooperation against ISIS. But how the United State find morally reprehensible that it could ever, ever sit down across the table with brutal regime in Iran who is responsible for death of many Americans in Iraq  and begin to coordinate an effort towards a common objective, which is the defeat of ISIS. There would not have been ISIS if the U.S. didn't break the promises it made in Iraq. U.S. pulled out of Iraq and provided no help to democratic movement in Iraq and broke its promise to support Sunnis forces. Mullahs filled this gap by spreading Shiites militias all over Iraq who has been killing and torturing Sunnis minorities.
