Nour News, a media outlet known to be close to Iran's Supreme Security Council, wrote a response to the comments by the state TV expert, who said the Hezbollah pagers were bought by an Iranian company
A former IRGC Quds Force official on Saturday first said an Iranian company bought the Hezbollah pagers, which exploded nearly simultaneously across Lebanon last month, on state television. But, an hour later, the same channel denied his remarks on such purchases by any Iranian company.

According to news service Iran English, expert Masoud Asadollahi said these pagers were bought by an Iranian company. Soon, Nour News, a media outlet known to be close to Iran’s Supreme Security Council, wrote a response to this.
“None of the Iranian companies have played a role in the purchase, transport, or distribution of the Hezbollah pagers,” said Nour News.
Asadollahi is a state TV expert, who was formerly a deputy commander in the Quds Force, which is one of the five branches of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
