Iran unveils new underground infrastructure for storing ballistic and cruise weapons

Senior officials inspect new infrastructure

In Iran, a new underground facility, referred to in official circles as a "missile city", has been revealed to the public. Key representatives of the country's military leadership inspected the site: Ali Abdollahi, Chief of the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, and Majid Mousavi, Commander of the Aerospace Forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

What was displayed in the underground complex

During the event, samples of ballistic and cruise weapons, along with corresponding launchers, were presented. According to the Iranian military's design, the primary objective of such underground placement is to ensure the safe storage of missile equipment and the ability to deploy it under protected conditions. This allows munitions to be positioned away from open sites, significantly complicating their detection by a potential adversary and reducing the risk of being hit.

Classified project details

The presentation takes place against the backdrop of Iran's sustained focus on developing its missile forces. Meanwhile, official sources have not disclosed the exact location of the new complex, its full technical specifications, or the number of missiles stored there.
