Iran shows off “missile city”, but is it just a key weakness to the United States and Israel?
A row of deadly weapons lined up in the sponge-like hall: Kheibar Shekan (900 mile range), Haj Qassem (850 mile), Ghadr-H (1,240 mile) (1,240 mile), Sejjil (1,550 mile) and EMAD (1,050 mile), and Paveh Land Attack Cruise Cruise Cruise Cruise Cruise Mildile. These are reportedly weapons used by Iran in the recent Israeli strike.
However, while the video is designed to show strength, it also exposes obvious weaknesses. Analysts were quick to point out that the ammunition was stored in a wide open tunnel with no explosion doors or reinforced obstacles. They warned that this layout could prove disastrous in the event of an attack, triggering a devastating chain explosion inside the base.
Symbolism and Threats: Iran’s message to Israel
The lens is more than just a weapon display cabinet. This is a calculated message. When General Bagheri visited the facility, the camera grabbed the Israeli flag he was stepping on the floor.
“Iran’s iron fist is much stronger than before, and stronger than the real promise,” he declared. “Everything [defensive] Generate a required size [military] Function is 10 times [stronger than] One person deployed in Operation Real Commitment has been established…the enemy will fall behind in this balance of power. ”
His words refer to Iran’s true commitment to Israel’s missile strike last April. The unveiling of the facility shows the continued revolt in Tehran just weeks after the outbreak of new tensions in the region.
Trump’s Last Journey and the Shadow of War
The revelation of Iran’s underground missile city is unstable. Just a few days ago, former U.S. President Donald Trump issued a distinctive final atum: Tehran must reach a new nuclear deal within two months or face consequences. Washington has made it clear that non-compliance could lead to tougher sanctions and could even lead to military action.
In response, Iran refused to back down. Iranian leaders insist that their nuclear and missile plans are unnegotiable, which is crucial to national security. Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei completely refuted Trump’s approach and branded the United States as a “bully.”
Meanwhile, tensions have spilled over to the wider area. In Yemen, U.S. air strikes on Iran-backed Houthis have intensified, and Washington directly blames Tehran’s attacks. Despite Tehran’s claim that Hotis acts independently, Trump vows to hold Iran accountable.
Military upgrade mode
This latest missile city is not an isolated development. In November 2020, Iran publicly revealed footage of a secret ballistic missile site, where weapons were transported through underground railway tunnels and are expected to be deployed quickly. Three years later, another hidden complex was unveiled-a period designed to shield fighter jets.
The pattern is obvious: Iran is rapidly expanding its Underground military networkleverage confidentiality and strategic depth to deal with Israel and the United States’ threats.
However, despite Tehran’s courage, its strategy still has risks. As missile stocks are openly stored in vast underground caves, a strike could ignite a chain reaction of destruction. While Iran boasts about its missile city, it may also unconsciously reveal the heels of its fatal weakness.
As the United States bends its military muscles (expels two aircraft carrier strike groups), the prospect of Iran’s refusal to let the confrontation looms.
Iranian Foreign Secretary Abbas Araghchi said that while indirect negotiations with Washington may be possible, direct negotiations are still in the fight unless U.S. policy changes. “The way of indirect negotiation is open,” he said, but the engagement was ruled out under Trump’s “maximum pressure” strategy.
At present, underground missile cities remain a symbol of Iran’s contempt. But, due to the tension at the boiling point, the question remains: How long will this high-risk deadlock erupt into open conflict?
