Hezbollah Confirms Receiving $200M From Iran for Displaced Lebanese

The confirmation matters less for the sum than for the precedent: a designated group openly acknowledging direct state funding for civilian relief, which blurs the line between humanitarian aid and patronage.

Whether other state or non-state actors follow this model, and whether the denial holds, is the open question.
