Tehran reveals underground missile base near Persian Gulf
Iran has announced it built a new subterranean missile base as tension between Washington and Tehran escalates.
Iran revealed a new subterranean missile base near the Persian Gulf today, in Tehran’s latest display of defiance amid pressure from the United States over its weapons program and regional influence.
Video aired by a state news outlet showed the Maj. Gen. Hossein Salami, commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' Quds Force, and IRGC navy commander Rear Adm. Ali Reza Tangsiri touring the underground facility yesterday.
The tunnels of the facility, said to be somewhere near the Persian Gulf, appeared to be filled with cruise and ballistic missiles.
“We believe that our enemies do not accept the power of logic, but rely on the logic of power,” Salami said. “Therefore, we have no option but to strengthen the defensive and offensive deterrent power for preventing he imposition of their hegemonic will and plots.”
