Hizbullah has significantly expanded and institutionalized its drug trafficking enterprises to the point where the group may soon raise more
money through cross-border illicit narcotics activities than all its other funding streams combined.
https://www.fdd.org/analysis/2024/07/02/how-hezbollah-fundraises-through-crime/ While Iran provides most of its financing, crime is a core component of Hezbollah's
fundraising - in fact, the group's avowed religious pieties notwithstanding, there
is almost no crime from which its overseas networks will refrain in their pursuit
of money: Drug trafficking, gun running, blood diamonds, illicit timber, even human
trafficking.
