Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah is planning to move to Iran due to security concerns, Kuwaiti daily Al-Jarida newspaper reported Wednesday.
The report cited a source familiar with the matter as saying that Lebanese and other regional intelligence services had been monitoring the communications between Hezbollah and Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Nasrallah's relocation had been featured extensively in those, the source told the newspaper, adding it was possible that Nasrallah had already moved.
Hezbollah's leader will reportedly remain in Iran for an unspecified amount of time.
The move follows the killing of senior Iranian nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, widely considered the father of Iran's nuclear arms project.
Iran blamed Israel for the high-profile killing that purportedly included a remotely controlled firearm.
According to earlier reports, Nasrallah upped his own security in the wake of the hit, canceling all travel.
