Iran displayed its missile arsenal and warned the US against "surprises".
Documentation of the newly uncovered underground missile facility in Iran offers a glimpse into the country's missile arsenal, Mehr News reported.
The "Missile City" is equipped with underground silos or tracks for rapid and continuous launching of missiles from the depths of the earth. The tunnels are wide enough to accommodate heavy trucks and mobile launchers, allowing missile units to spread out and launch from protected positions.
A vertical launch missile was shown with a tall cylindrical warhead whose identity has not yet been clarified, whose range may exceed 2,000 kilometers. The Revolutionary Guards recently announced that they removed the previous range restrictions on their ballistic missiles.
The Fattah 1 warhead was shown mounted on the Khaybarshakan missile, a configuration designed to complicate tracking and enable evasion of radar systems.
A stealthy cruise missile of a new design was also introduced, apparently based on reverse-engineered American models.
After a visit to the facility, Lt. Col. Ali Abdollahi, chief of the general staff of Iran's armed forces, warned that the next potential conflict would bring with it "new surprises," adding that the U.S. had never faced such a huge volume of advanced weapons in any other war over a similar period.
