Iranian Underground Missile Fortress Complex Unveiled in New Footage

New footage of an underground missile complex operated by the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has provided new insight into the kinds of fortifications that are key to allowing Iran to sustain its long war with the United States, which has been ongoing since Washington initiated hostilities on February 28. The footage has shown an extensive arsenal of ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and associated launch vehicles, highlighting the limitations of U.S.-led efforts to neutralise Iranian strike capabilities. Major General Ali Abdollahi, chief of staff of Iran’s armed forces, and Brigadier General Seyed Majid Mousavi, commander of the IRGC Aerospace Force, were seen touring the facility and inspecting the armaments stored there. The unveiling comes amid renewed tensions with Washington and follows Iranian claims that missile production is increasingly being relocated to underground installations to protect the country’s arsenal and sustain manufacturing during wartime.
