In a new step in its efforts to pursue the financiers of "Hezbollah", the U.S. State Department announced through the "Rewards for Justice" program a massive financial reward of up to 10 million dollars for anyone who provides information leading to the identification or disruption of the Lebanese Ali Kaseer, accused of playing a pivotal role in financing the party.
The official announcement was published on the program's website this morning, Tuesday September 23, 2025, where Kaseer was described as a prominent figure in the "Talaqi Group", a front suspected of being used to facilitate illicit financial transactions for Hezbollah and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard's "Quds Force".
* Serious allegations involving oil, steel, and evasion of sanctions
According to the U.S. statement, Ali Kaseer is accused of using his position in the "Talaqi Group" to assist in:
_ Providing funding sources for Hezbollah and the Quds Force.
_ Evasion of international sanctions imposed on them.
_ Selling oil, steel, and prohibited goods illegally.
_ Coordinating financial activities between the two entities listed on U.S. terrorism lists.
* Reporting channels and generous rewards
The "Rewards for Justice" program clarified that any information about Ali Kaseer, or the financial networks associated with Hezbollah, or activities related to them could make the informant eligible for a financial reward of up to 10 million dollars, provided that such information leads to the disruption of these networks or the arrest of those involved.
It is worth noting that this program, run by the U.S. State Department, has been offering substantial financial rewards for years in exchange for any information leading to the apprehension of officials or collaborators with groups classified as terrorist, such as Hezbollah, according to U.S. classification.
