The United States, along with the UK and Australia, has imposed a new round of sanctions targeting individuals and entities with links to Hamas and Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The sanctions, announced by the Treasury Department and communicated by NSC's John Kirby, specifically target the Iraqi low-cost airline Fly Baghdad and its CEO for providing assistance to the IRGC Quds Force and its proxies. Additionally, the sanctions have identified two Fly Baghdad aircraft as blocked property and have targeted three leaders and supporters of the Iraqi terrorist group Kata'ib Hezbollah, as well as businesses involved in laundering funds for the group. The U.S. has also sanctioned two entities that facilitated cryptocurrency transactions for Hamas. In response, Fly Baghdad has denounced the sanctions, claiming they lack factual and moral evidence, and has stated its intention to seek compensation through legal action. This marks the fifth round of sanctions against Hamas since their October 7 attack on Israel, with a focus on currency exchanges as key funders for the group.
