Project Cassandra
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Project Cassandra is a DEA-led effort to undercut Hezbollah funding from illicit drug sources.[1] Launched in 2008, the project has made significant inroads into curbing the terrorist organization's funding.[2] Over the last decade, Hezbollah has become increasingly involved with drug trafficking and organized crime.[3][4]
A report by Politico in December, 2017, described how "In its determination to secure a nuclear deal with Iran, the Obama administration derailed an ambitious law enforcement campaign".[5]
