【Iran's "Underground Missile City" Reborn from the Ashes】
Iran's "underground missile city" is rising from the ashes! Latest satellite imagery reveals that Iran is utilizing the ceasefire window to clear debris and attempt to restart underground missile bases previously bombed.
According to reports by The Daily Telegraph, multiple sealed underground tunnel entrances have shown signs of heavy machinery at work—excavators and trucks continuously removing soil, rocks, and rubble. These entrances were previously collapsed by joint U.S.-Israel airstrikes, with debris blocking access in an effort to trap missile launch vehicles underground, preventing their deployment, launch, and resupply.
A newly captured satellite image shows excavators already operating on piles of rubble at a missile base near Khomein, with several trucks standing by. On the same day, another satellite photo revealed similar construction equipment at an underground missile facility in Tabriz.
During earlier military operations, although both the U.S. and Israel publicly claimed significant damage to Iran’s military capabilities, U.S. intelligence assessments privately indicated that about half of Iran’s missile launchers remained intact, with a considerable portion directly buried deep within the "underground missile city." Iran's "underground missile city" is extremely robust and difficult to destroy. As a result, the U.S. and Israel could only achieve disruption by bombing to cause collapses, sealing off the entrances and tunnels of the underground complex. However, this also means that as soon as the debris blocking these entrances is cleared, Iran can immediately retrieve missiles stored inside.
Former CIA analyst Pollack stated: "Iran possesses strong military reconstruction and innovation capabilities—far surpassing other countries in the Middle East."
