The Lebanese Communication Group is a company set up by the Lebanese Islamist political group Hezbollah, to manage both Al-Manar and Al-Nour networks.[1][2][3] The Lebanese Communication Group is sometimes called the Lebanese Media Group.[4]
Hezbollah Secretary General Nasrallah publicized an invitation for all Lebanese citizens to volunteer for Hezbollah military training on al-Manar and al-Nour, who have been the media arms of the Hezbollah network and have facilitated its activities supported by the IRIB and IRGC.[5][6] Members of Hezbollah's Executive Council, notably Nasrallah, controlled the budgets of al-Manar and al-Nour.[7]
