Iran Reveals Large Cache of Precision Missiles Housed in ‘Missile City’
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Force has unveiled a large stockpile of precision-guided missiles inside its underground Missile City.
The facility was showcased on Iranian state television, with footage revealing extensive tunnels filled with missiles and a visit from IRGC Commander Hossein Salami. However, the exact location of the base remains undisclosed.
According to Iranian media, the base houses the Khaybar Shekan, Haj Qasem, Ghadr-H, Emad, Sejjil, and Paveh missile models. Both solid- and liquid-fuel types are stored in the complex.
Iran’s military leaders said their missile program is growing faster than their rivals can keep up. “The enemy will remain behind in the balance of power,” said Iran’s military Chief of Staff during the broadcast.
The Missile City was first unveiled in a footage that aired in January, which showed Salami touring the underground facility.
Iranian officials claim the base was used in October 2024 to launch an attack on Israel. They said around 200 missiles, including hypersonic ones, were fired. Israel responded with strikes on Iranian military sites.
The unveiling is part of a broader push by Iran to show its missile strength. Last January, the IRGC Navy revealed an underground site in southern Iran storing armed vessels. Video showed boats with missiles and machine guns inside tunnels.
The unveiling comes just hours after U.S. intelligence chief Tulsi Gabbard revealed that Iran is not actively pursuing nuclear weapons and that Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei has not issued any directive to initiate a nuclear weapons program.
Meanwhile, tensions between Washington and Tehran remain high as President Donald Trump reinstated his “maximum pressure” campaign in February, seeking to cripple Iran’s oil exports and thwart its nuclear ambitions.
