This is the best summary I could come up with:
The United States on Friday imposed a new round of sanctions aimed at cutting off financing for Hamas, targeting its investment fund and Iranians who funnel money and support to the group.
“We will not hesitate to take action to further degrade Hamas’s ability to commit horrific terrorist attacks by relentlessly targeting its financial activities and streams of funding,” Wally Adeyemo, the deputy Treasury secretary, said in a statement.
The Treasury Department imposed new sanctions on a Jordanian national, Khaled Qaddoumi, who lives in Tehran and serves as a liaison between Iran and Hamas.
The administration also leveled sanctions on members of Iran’s military that train Hamas, of Hezbollah and of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, another armed group based in Gaza.
Brian Nelson, the Treasury Department’s under secretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, also visited Saudi Arabia and Qatar for meetings on efforts to curb terrorist financing.
In a short speech at the Royal United Services Institute in London, Mr. Adeyemo said that Hamas, like the Russian government amid its war in Ukraine, had taken steps to avoid sanctions.
