Hezbollah, which the U.S. has officially designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization since 1997, remains Iran\u2019s most powerful proxy in the region and has been subject to extensive U.S. sanctions.<\/p>\n<p>Barrack is also set to meet with Prime Minister Nawaf Salam and Speaker Nabih Berri, who often negotiates on behalf of Hezbollah with Washington.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think the Lebanese government has done their part. They\u2019ve taken the first step,&#8221; said Barrack, who is also the U.S. ambassador to Turkey. &#8220;Now what we need is for Israel to comply with that equal handshake.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/world\/french-drafted-unifil-resolution-could-shield-hezbollah-us-stays-silent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>FRENCH-DRAFTED UNIFIL RESOLUTION COULD SHIELD HEZBOLLAH AS US STAYS SILENT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-ct inline\">\n<div class=\"m\"><picture><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/343\/192\/us-envoy-lebanon.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/686\/384\/us-envoy-lebanon.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" height=\"192\" width=\"343\"><source media=\"(min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1023px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/672\/378\/us-envoy-lebanon.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1344\/756\/us-envoy-lebanon.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" height=\"378\" width=\"672\"><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px) and (max-width: 1279px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/931\/523\/us-envoy-lebanon.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1862\/1046\/us-envoy-lebanon.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" height=\"523\" width=\"931\"><source media=\"(min-width: 1280px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/720\/405\/us-envoy-lebanon.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1440\/810\/us-envoy-lebanon.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" height=\"405\" width=\"720\"><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>\n<div class=\"info\">\n<div class=\"caption\">\n<p><span>U.S. Ambassador to Turkey and Special Envoy to Syria, Tom Barrack, during a press conference after his meeting with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun at the presidential palace, in Baabda, east of Beirut, Lebanon, Monday, Aug. 18, 2025.\u00a0<\/span> <span>(AP Photo\/Hussein Malla)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Hezbollah drew intensified pressure during <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/person\/donald-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">President Donald Trump\u2019s first term,<\/a> when Washington revived enforcement actions against its global finance networks, imposed new sanctions and designated it a Transnational Criminal Organization in 2018.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In Trump&#8217;s second term, the administration has broadened these measures.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Treasury Department announced new sanctions on Hezbollah-linked financiers and front companies, including designations in March and July targeting oil smuggling operations, senior officials and the group\u2019s financial arm, Al-Qard Al-Hassan.
