Deep beneath the earth, Iran’s so-called ‘Missile City’ stretches through fortified tunnels, housing various weapons.
Newly released footage from Iranian state media offers a rare glimpse of the underground complex – certainly one of the most important such facilities within the Islamic Republic.
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 is a propaganda tool in a show of strength amid escalating tensions with the US and Israel, which could soon reach boiling point.
It is supposed to be a stark display of military might, reinforcing the country’s role within the Middle East.
That is the third such location unveiled by Iran’s regime in recent weeks. Its military has previously released images of comparable underground facilities.
This has caused some speculation that it might be an older site repurposed for a fresh media campaign.
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.
Bagheri is first seen walking over an Israeli flag painted on the ground before getting on the back of a military vehicle.
Addressing the ability’s personnel in the course of 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 are 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 accordance with Press TV.
This comes as Donald Trump gave Iran’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei a two-month deadline for reaching a nuclear agreement, in accordance with Axios.
If Iran rejects his outreach and refuses to negotiate, the possibilities of US. or Israeli military motion against its nuclear sites would dramatically increase.
The nation boasts greater than 3,000 ballistic missiles, the most important arsenal within the Middle East.
This doesn’t include its burgeoning land-attack cruise missile force. Vast improvements have also been revamped the past decade within the precision and accuracy of the missiles.
Many Iranian missiles are also inherently able to carrying nuclear payloads, which has long been a global concern.
