The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has unveiled one of its new underground missile bases, described as a “missile city”, amid the Israeli regime’s heightened escalation in the region and threats against Iran.
The sprawling missile base, accommodating advanced Iranian projectiles, was unveiled by IRGC Chief Commander Major General Hossein Salami and Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the commander of the IRGC’s Aerospace Force, Tasnim News Agency reported.
Broadcast by the state TV, the report on the footage from the subterranean facility said the base lodges such high-tech missiles as Emad, Qadr and Qiam which run on liquid fuel and that 90 percent of the other sections of the missile city were not shown for security reasons.
The advanced projectiles were used in Iran’s stunning missile attacks against Israeli military sites in military operations code-named True Promise 1 and 2 in April and October 2024.
Describing the missile base as a “dormant volcano deep in the heart of mountains,” the report said, “The volcano lying under these mountains can erupt in the shortest time possible.”
During the tour of the missile facility, Salami praised the IRGC forces involved in the two anti-Israel attacks and rejected the enemy’s mistaken belief that Iran’s capability to produce missiles had been harmed.
“Every day, the number of systems and missiles is augmented in the far corners of this land. Maybe the enemy thought that our production power has stagnated, but the growth rate of our missile power is up to date,” he said.
“All components of our power are improving, but missiles, their capacity and capability are increasing and improving every day both in quantity and quality and in efficiency and design.”
