Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) unveiled a new underground missile base this week during a high-profile military inspection, signaling heightened preparedness amid escalating friction with Washington. Senior commanders including Armed Forces Chief of Staff Abdolrahim Mousavi toured the facility, where officials emphasized advancements in ballistic missile capabilities across "all technical dimensions."
Major General Mousavi declared Iran's military doctrine has shifted from defensive to offensive posturing following last year's 12-day conflict with Israel, prioritizing "lightning-fast operations" and asymmetric warfare strategies. The revelation comes as U.S. naval deployments intensify near Persian Gulf waters, with Tehran warning that any American military action would trigger regional consequences.
"The slightest mistake will give Iran the freedom to take action… No American will be safe," Mousavi stated Sunday, according to state media. Analysts suggest the underground base underscores Tehran's efforts to counter advanced surveillance systems while reinforcing deterrence messaging to global observers.
