Al Arabiya, 27 December 2017 - Member of the Iran-backed Hezbollah, a notorious Lebanon-based terror group, were protected by the Obama administration for the sake of safeguarding an already controversial nuclear deal with Tehran, according to a new report.
“Project Cassandra,” a top-secret government initiative, faced systematic dismantling by Obama’s White House. The Drug Enforcement Administration operation was blueprinted to target Hezbollah’s $1 billion in annual drug revenue.
Politico’s Josh Meyer sketched a clear insight into the group’s schemes of selling cocaine and world of crime, adding Obama looked away from such activities with the goal of keeping Iran, the godfather of Hezbollah, in line during the negotiations that led to the nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
Almost a decade’s work by the DEA team, with the objective of bringing down Hezbollah’s sophisticated drug ring, literally went wasted by the Obama administration. Hezbollah’s network smuggled cocaine into the US and laundered the rendered profits through purchasing used cars in the States and reselling them in Africa, according to Politico.
