Iran has showcased its military prowess by unveiling an underground missile facility, dubbed the “Missile City,” amidst growing geopolitical tensions with the United States. The dramatic footage, released by Iranian state media, reveals extensive tunnels packed with advanced weaponry, including ballistic missiles and cruise missiles.
The facility, operated by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), features missiles such as the Kheybar Shekan, Ghadr-H, Sejil, and Paveh Land Attack Cruise Missiles. The footage also highlights the presence of top military officials, including Major General Mohammad Hossein Bagheri and IRGC Aerospace Force chief Amir Ali Hajizadeh, touring the fortified complex.
This unveiling comes as the U.S. intensifies pressure on Iran to dismantle its nuclear program and missile development. President Donald Trump has issued a two-month ultimatum, warning of severe repercussions, including military action, if Tehran refuses to comply. Iran has firmly rejected these demands, emphasizing its commitment to national security and military readiness.
While the “Missile City” demonstrates Iran’s strategic capabilities, experts have pointed out vulnerabilities in its design, such as the lack of blast doors and protective enclosures, which could pose risks in the event of an attack.
The development underscores the escalating tensions in the Middle East, with both nations showcasing their military strength. As the situation unfolds, the international community remains vigilant, hoping for a resolution to avoid further conflict.
