Iran showcases cruise missiles in underground complex as US tensions rise
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has released video showing rows of anti-ship cruise missiles inside a large tunnel complex, as concerns grow that the US could intensify its campaign against Tehran. The footage appeared on the day of the US midterm elections, amid reports of preparations for further strikes and moves to strengthen regional defences.
US officials described strikes on Iran’s Qeshm Island as limited and defensive, while reports say American forces are restocking weapons and shifting personnel from exposed bases. The conflict is in its eighth month and was estimated to have cost $47.1 billion by mid-October, including $29 billion for munitions. Claims that Donald Trump is considering a nuclear strike on an underground site have been made by a former CIA officer, but the article provides no confirmation of such plans.
In short
- Iran released footage of missiles stored in a large tunnel network.
