The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has unveiled a new underground missile city, a facility designed to house ballistic and cruise missiles within mountain tunnels. The unveiling ceremony, attended by Armed Forces Chief of Staff Maj. Gen. Ali Abdollahi and IRGC Aerospace Force commander Brig. Gen. Seyyed Majid Mousavi, showcased a network of underground corridors and various launch vehicles.

IRGC spokesman Brig. Gen. Hossein Mohebbi stated that the military is transitioning missile and drone production lines from surface facilities to these protected underground complexes. This move aims to ensure that weapons manufacturing can continue even during heavy aerial bombardments.

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf described the facility as a tool for sustainable deterrence and a clear message to adversaries. He warned against miscalculations, stating that Iran’s armed forces would determine the geography of any future conflict.

Additionally, Brig. Gen. Ali Belali reported that Iran has achieved self-sufficiency in missile design and is processing domestic raw materials for both solid and liquid rocket propellants. He noted that the Hormuz missile is specifically designed to detect and follow enemy radar waves.
