Iran unveils underground missile base, warns of 'surprises' in future war
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has unveiled a new underground missile facility, warning of powerful military responses in the event of another conflict.
Footage released on Tuesday showed an extensive network of tunnels housing ballistic and cruise missiles, including weapons mounted on mobile launch platforms.
Iranian Armed Forces Chief of General Staff Ali Abdollahi and IRGC Aerospace Force Commander Majid Mousavi inspected the facility, whose location remains undisclosed and has not been independently verified.
Addressing military personnel, Abdollahi criticised Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over his threats against Iran, claiming Israel had failed in its previous attempts to weaken the Islamic Republic.
“Surprises will emerge one after another in the next war,” Abdollahi warned, suggesting Iran had developed additional military capabilities.

Iranian media reported that the underground complex contained an advanced missile with undisclosed capabilities, although its name, range and technical specifications were not revealed.
