Hezbollah in Venezuela

Hezbollah said to bypass US sanctions by entering drug trade into Europe

“These Hezbollah operatives are actually overseeing all the illicit finance and the drug trafficking activities, not just in Europe, but in South America, the Tri-Border region, moving about $200 million a month,” said former US Drug Enforcement Administration special agent Derek Maltz.
The study said Hezbollah personnel act as middlemen in the global drug route from South America to West Africa and from there to Europe, helping get hundreds of tons of cocaine and other drugs through ports in Belgium and Germany — with only 5-10 percent of it being intercepted.
“Our study links Hezbollah’s political wing with its military wing, and we went down to the field level and are showing how all the drug trafficking system supports money laundering,” Cohen said. “At least 20%-25% of the [profit] goes back to Hezbollah and is used for arming, weapon purchases, salaries and more.”

South American generally means Venezuela if the drug trade is cocaine. But Iran is also one of the large precursors of meth. According to my latest reading, the meth precursor is coming from Asia, but I hasve my doubts. Iran does not need all that meth precursor (ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, or phenylpropanolamine).  California is an easy target, I am sure Hezbollah is shipping to Mexico,now or soon. Thus we can see why Kamala cannot be elected.
