Iran unveils new underground 'missile city': What to know
Iran has moved much of its missile stockpile underground as the threat of a new war looms.
Iran showcased a recently constructed underground missile facility, complete with various missiles and their launchers, on Tuesday. The site, located beneath the ground, was revealed through Iran's IRGC-linked Tasnim News Agency, though its authenticity remains unverified. Military officials, including Maj.-Gen. Ali Abdollahi and Brig.-Gen.
Majid Mousavi, toured the site. Abdollahi, the chief of staff of Iran's armed forces, stated, "Advanced missiles will surprise enemies with their battlefield impact" and warned of a response extending beyond the Middle East if Iran faces renewed attacks. The facility displayed medium-range ballistic missiles, maneuvering re-entry vehicles, and complete missiles with boosters and warheads.
Additionally, a commercial truck housed a missile, camouflaged within the vehicle for civilian appearance. This unveiling demonstrates Iran's commitment to preserving its missile capabilities despite recent American and Israeli airstrikes, and highlights the resilience of its underground missile storage and launch sites, known as "missile cities."
