A little over ten years ago, then–Secretary of State John Kerry said out loud what much of the media had kept remarkably quiet. He said that Hezbollah, the Shiite Muslim terror group that had dominated the nation of Lebanon for decades, possessed an arsenal of 80,000 rockets and ballistic missiles, mostly supplied by Iran.

During the years that followed, Iran upgraded Hezbollah’s missile cache both in quantity and quality. By the time of the Hamas attack on Israel in October 2023, Hezbollah’s stockpile of missiles and rockets exceeded 150,000. That’s more ballistic missiles than any NATO nation in Europe has in its arsenal.
