As Iran launches drone strikes across the Middle East, their so-called ‘Missile City’ sitting deep beneath the earth sits ready and waiting.
Footage from Iranian state media gives a rare glimpse of the fortified underground complex – considered one of the most important such facilities within the Islamic Republic.
A large arsenal of drones, with a wall-to-wall hanging depicting the now-dead Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, might be seen with the sound of a ticking clock within the background.
The tunnels are lined with 1000’s of precision-guided missiles, state media claimed.
KheibarShekan (900-mile range), Haj Qassem (850-mile range), Ghadr H, (1,240-mile range), Sejjil (1,550-mile range), and Emad (1,050-mile range) are believed to be housed there.
Set to dramatic music, the video, which was released last 12 months, is a propaganda tool in a show of strength after the UK and Israel launched Operation Epic Fury, targeting Iran’s Supreme Leader in his Tehran compound.
Two senior Iranian military figures, chief of staff of the armed forces major general Mohammad Hossein Bagheri, and IRGC aerospace force commander Amir Ali Hajizadeh are shown driving through the undisclosed base.
They were each killed in an Israeli strike in June 2025.
Bagheri is first seen walking over an Israeli flag painted on the ground before getting on the back of a military vehicle.
Addressing the power’s personnel throughout the tour, he said: ‘Iran’s iron fist is way stronger than before. 10 times stronger than True Promise II’
‘All of the [defensive] dimensions which might be required for generating a [military] capability that’s 10 times [stronger than] the one deployed during Operation True Promise II, has been created.’
Operation True Promise II refers to Iran’s missile retaliatory attack against Israel on April 13, 2024, wherein 90 percent of missiles hit their intended targets.
Bagheri further noted that the pace at which the republic was developing its defensive might was ‘far faster than the pace of the enemies’, in line with Press TV.
