Iran after orchestrating the October 1983
bombing of the U.S. Marine Corps and
French military barracks in Beirut with his
brother-in-law, Mustafa Badreddine.
This much is clear: Since its founding,
Hezbollah has developed a sophisticated
organizational and leadership structure.
The overall governing authority, the Majlis
al-Shura (Consultative Council), wields all
decision-making power and directs several
subordinate functional councils. Each
functional council reports directly to the
Majlis al-Shura, which, as Hezbollah
Deputy Secretary-General Naim Qassem
wrote in his book, is "in charge of drawing
the overall vision and policies, overseeing
the general strategies for the party's
function, and taking political decisions."
U.S. assessments echo Qassem's
description. "Hezbollah has a unified
leadership structure that oversees the
organization's complementary, partially
compartmentalized elements," reads a
Congressional Research Service report.
The secretary-general, currently Nasrallah,
presides over the Majlis al-Shura and
functions as the group's leader under the
authority of the "jurist theologian"
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's supreme
leader. Five administrative bodies,
organized around thematic responsibilities,
run Hezbollah's political, military (jihad),
parliamentary, executive, and judicial
