Iran has unveiled a new underground missile base as tensions with the United States continue to escalate. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced the development on Wednesday, February 4, during an official ceremony attended by Iran’s Armed Forces Chief Abdolrahman Mousavi and Aerospace Division head Sayed Majed Mousavi. Senior military officials reviewed the Guard’s missile readiness and capabilities during the event.

During the inspection, the Armed Forces Chief stated that Iran is fully prepared to face any potential threat. He explained that following a 12-day conflict with Israel in June of the previous year, Iran shifted its military strategy from a defensive to an offensive posture, enhancing its ability to conduct large-scale operations in a short time. The new approach also includes plans for asymmetric warfare and countering enemy strategies.

In recent days, the United States has increased its military presence around Iran, deploying warships and other assets. Although both countries have agreed to hold talks, concerns remain that U.S. forces could strike Iran if negotiations fail. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned that any U.S. attack could ignite a wider regional war.
