The Lebanese Communication Group, also sometimes known as the Lebanese Media Group,[1] is a company set up by the Lebanese Islamist political group Hezbollah to manage the networks of Al-Manar and Al-Nour.[2][3][4]
Former Hezbollah Secretary General Nasrallah has 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]
