Blocking Property of Additional Persons in Connection With the National Emergency With Respect to Syria
This executive order expands sanctions related to the 2005 assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri by blocking U.S.-based assets of individuals and entities determined to be involved in that attack or related bombings in Lebanon, or who obstructed the UN investigation. It builds upon the existing national emergency declared in Executive Order 13338 concerning Syrian government actions.
