Iran demonstrated a new underground "missile city".
Senior military leaders visited the new missile base, including the Chief of the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, General Ali Abdulahi, and the Commander of the Aerospace Forces of the Revolutionary Guards, Lt. Col. Majid Mousavi.
During a visit to the site, Ali Abdulahi said that in the event of a new war, Iran had prepared "many surprises" for its opponents. According to him, the country's armed forces are ready to carry out retaliatory attacks without any geographical restrictions, and any action against Iran will result in severe retribution.
Especially referring to Israel, the Iranian general warned that any military mistake by "Israel" will lead to its destruction.
Lighting such objects serves several purposes. First, Tehran demonstrates that a significant portion of its missile arsenal is hidden in a secure underground infrastructure and is capable of surviving a first strike. Second, it is an element of psychological deterrence, designed to show opponents that Iran's true capabilities are much broader than those already known. Against the backdrop of ongoing tensions with Israel and the US, such demonstrations become part of a strategy of strategic deterrence and signal readiness for a prolonged missile conflict.
