Iyad Makhlouf (Arabic: إياد مخلوف; born 21 January 1973)[citation needed], also known as Eyad Makhlouf, is a former major in the Syrian General Intelligence Directorate, a brother of Syrian businessman Rami Makhlouf and maternal cousin of former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.[1]
He is sanctioned by the European Union,[2] US Treasury,[3] and UK Treasury[4] for violence against the civilian population during the Syrian civil war, and for helping Rami Makhlouf or the Syrian government evade sanctions.[3]
Shortly after the Fall of Damascus in 2024, Makhlouf was injured in a shooting that killed his brother Ihab and his mother Ghada.[5]
