The British Treasury announced on Friday that it has designated the Lebanese "Hezbollah", with its military and political wings, a terrorist organization under the rules of terrorism and terrorist financing, and thus its assets will be frozen.
Previously, only Hezbollah's military wing had been the target of freezing assets under British government rules.
The United States also classifies Hezbollah as a terrorist organization.
This comes as the Presidency in Guatemala announced last Wednesday that President-elect Alejandro Gayamati intends to classify the Lebanese "Hezbollah" as a "terrorist" organization.
Last month, the German parliament recommended by a large majority, the government to ban Hezbollah activities completely on German soil.
