US President Donald Trump on Thursday signed new sanctions targeting the Hezbollah terrorist group which is considered a terrorist organization by the United States, CNNreported.

"Over the past year we have levied the highest sanctions ever imposed on Hezbollah -- in a single year, by far. Just a few moments ago, I signed legislation imposing even more hard-hitting sanctions on Hezbollah to further starve them of their funds. And they are starving for them," Trump said during an event marking the 35th anniversary of the attack on US Marine barracks in Beirut.

The legislation, known as the Hezbollah International Financing Prevention Amendments Act, was sponsored by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL). The bill ramps up reporting requirements and places further financial and economic sanctions on the group.

"We will target, disrupt and dismantle their operational and financing efforts, of which they have plenty ... and we will never forget what they did to our Marines in Beirut," said Trump.

The President criticized Iran before announcing new sanctions on the group, saying "Iran was instrumental in founding Hezbollah" and remains "its main patron today."

"We are doing a big number on Iran today, in case you haven't noticed. I'll tell you what, they're not the same country they were when I first took office," added Trump, who pointed out that that Iranians are now "rioting in their streets."

"Their money's collapsed. Their lives are a lot different, and they're not looking so much for the Mediterranean. ... Now they want to survive. It's a whole different deal," he said, calling the 2015 Iran nuclear deal from which he withdrew last May the "Iran nuclear disaster." READ MORE
