Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) has revealed a vast underground missile city filled with tunnels and passageways housing thousands of precision-guided missiles, Iranian state television reported on Tuesday.

According to the report, the newly disclosed missile facility contains a large arsenal, including Kheibarshekan, Sejjil, Emad, and Haj Qassem missiles.

The unveiling took place in the presence of the Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, Major General Mohammad Hossein Bagheri, and IRGC Aerospace Force Commander Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh.

During the event, General Bagheri emphasized the rapid advancement of Iran’s missile capabilities, stating that the country is committed to further strengthening its defensive power.

“The pace of progress in our missile capabilities is extremely high, and we will continue to enhance our defense power with full determination,” he said.

Bagheri also highlighted that all necessary measures to achieve military strength far exceeding Operation True Promise 2 have been implemented, with significant progress already made.

Operation True Promise II

The IRGC's October operation was declared "Operation True Promise II, after its antecedent "Operation True Promise", during which an unprecedented drone and missile attack was launched at "Israel" from Iran in April, in response to the Israeli assassination of its officials and aggression on its embassy in Damascus.

In a second statement, the IRGC confirmed that three military bases in Tel Aviv were targeted: Nevatim, Hatzerim, and the Tel Nof Airbase.

In detail, the Nevatim base houses the F-35 fighter jets, and the Hatzerim base houses the F-15 fighter jets used to assassinate Martyr Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah. The IRGC affirmed that the latter was targeted in response to the assassination of Hezbollah's martyred leader. 

Additionally, at least 90% of Iran's ballistic missiles and projectiles launched from its first wave toward occupied Palestinian territories struck their targets, according to the IRGC's second statement.

The attack also successfully hit gas platforms near the occupied city of Askalan, according to Tasnim News Agency.
