Trump envoy Tom Barrack: Lebanon is a “failed state”

Hezbollah has 40,000 operatives, 15,000 projectiles, says US envoy

(Nov. 1, 2025 / JNS) Hezbollah in Lebanon is 40,000 strong with 15,000 to 20,000 missiles and rockets at its disposal, U.S. Special Envoy for Syria and Ambassador to Turkey Tom Barrack said on Saturday.

He spoke during a panel discussion at the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) Manama Dialogue in Bahrain, regarding Lebanon’s failed attempts to demilitarize the Iranian-backed Shi’ite organization.

The Lebanese Armed Forces has 60,000 soldiers, he continued. “The only problem is, the Hezbollah soldiers make $2,200 a month, while LAF soldiers make $275 a month. … [Hezbollah has modern equipment and] LAF soldiers are driving old Jeeps [with] AK-47s. So which army is which?” Barrack asked.

By simple calculation, the elimination of Hizbulla from Lebanon would cost about $25 Billions. Countries who have interest in that have to pay the price.
