Iran today published footage from a new underground 'missile city' of the Revolutionary Guards' Aerospace Force. The facility was visited by the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces, Ali Abdollahi, and the commander of the force, Majid Mousavi. The location of the complex and the date of the visit were not published. Abdollahi said during the visit: 'If the enemy commits an act of folly, our response will go beyond the region's borders.' The images published by the Fars agency show medium-range ballistic missiles of the 'Emad' type, alongside short-range missiles and conventional warheads. The publication comes three days after the Revolutionary Guards spokesman, Hossein Mohbi, announced a planned unveiling and presented it as a 'special gift' to the Iranian people. Mohbi claimed that Iran has moved the production of missiles and drones from above ground to underground, and that the system is intended to allow continued production even under wartime conditions.
