As tensions rise in West Asia, Iran has released a new video of a missile city, claiming it is “one of the hundreds of missile cities” across the country. This marks the third such facility revealed in less than a month, and it is operated by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, according to Tasnim News. On Tuesday, Major General Mohammad Bagheri, Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces, and Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, commander of the IRGC Aerospace Forces, were touring the facility in the video.
A video released by Iranian state media showed hundreds of missiles lined up inside the facility. According to Tasnim News, the missile city houses various missiles, including Kheibar Shekan (900-mile range), Haj Qassem (850-mile range), Ghadr H (1,240-mile range), Sejjil (1,550-mile range), and Emad (1,050-mile range), along with Paveh cruise missiles.
The video also captured Bagheri deliberately stepping on an Israeli flag that had been laid out on the floor. “Iran’s iron fist is far stronger than before. Ten times stronger than True Promise I,” Bagheri declared. Bagheri further stated, “All the [defensive] dimensions that are required for generating a [military] capability that is 10 times [stronger than] the one deployed during Operation True Promise II, have been created…The enemy will fall behind in this balance of power.”
"True Promise" was the codename for Iran's massive attack on Israel in April last year. The facility's opening also comes at a time of rising tensions between Iran and the United States, with U.S. President Donald Trump repeatedly issuing threats against the country. The video was released just days after Trump issued an ultimatum. President Trump issued a stern warning to Iran, giving them two months to agree to a nuclear deal or face the consequences. This ultimatum came on the heels of a massive US strike against Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen.
