Iran unveiled what it claimed was its new missile city on Tuesday. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) showed off the underground site, which included ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and their launchers. This coincides with Qatar’s recent attempts to act as a mediator between the US and Iran, as well as a meeting between US President Donald Trump and Qatar’s Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani. The site, which cannot be verified and may or may not be brand new, was shown on Iran’s Tasnim News Agency. Iran’s Maj.-Gen. Ali Abdollahi, chief of staff of Iran’s armed forces, and Brig.-Gen. Majid Mousavi, commander of the IRGC Aerospace Force, toured the facility. The previous commander of the space force, Amir Ali Hajizadeh, was killed in 2025 during the conflict with Israel.
“Advanced missiles will surprise enemies with their battlefield impact,” Abdollahi said, according to Rudaw. Iran International reported that Abdollahi warned of retaliation beyond the Middle East if Iran was attacked once again. “If the enemy makes another move against us, our response will extend beyond the region,” he said.
