Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Force has unveiled a new underground missile city amid growing threats of renewed attacks by the United States and Israel.
The unveiling ceremony took place on November 9 and was attended by Armed Forces Chief of Staff Maj. Gen. Abdollahi and IRGC Aerospace Force commander Brig. Gen. Seyyed Majid Mousavi.
Senior military officers inspected sections of the complex and reviewed the capabilities and operational readiness of the missile units stationed there.
Footage released by Iranian state media the following day showed a network of underground corridors housing large numbers of ballistic and cruise missiles, with several types of military transport and launch vehicles positioned alongside them.
During the visit, Abdollahi said the Islamic Republic’s advanced missile systems would “surprise enemies with their battlefield impact.”
The announcement came two days after IRGC spokesman Brig. Gen. Hossein Mohebbi said the Aerospace Force had moved its missile and drone production lines from surface facilities into underground installations.
Mohebbi described the new facilities as “missile production cities,” marking an expansion beyond underground complexes previously used primarily for weapons storage. He said the arrangements would allow Iran to maintain weapons manufacturing even under heavy bombardment.
In an interview published on November 10, IRGC Aerospace Force adviser Brig. Gen. Ali Belali also discussed Iran’s domestic missile production capabilities.
Belali said Iran had developed the expertise to design and manufacture its own missiles and was sourcing and processing domestically the raw materials required for both solid and liquid rocket propellants. He stressed that the Islamic Republic’s missile industry had progressed “beyond reverse-engineering” foreign weapons systems.
“Even if they put up barbed-wire fences and concrete walls around the country, they still cannot prevent the production of Iranian missiles,” Belali said.
Iran’s display of its new underground missile facilities is clearly intended to deter the U.S. and Israel, which have reportedly drawn up plans for renewed attacks against the Islamic Republic.
