Deep beneath the surface, vast underground “missile cities” form the core of Iran’s military strategy. Built to survive heavy attacks, these fortified tunnels house weapons, launch systems, and personnel operating far from the outside world.
With an arsenal of thousands of missiles, including models capable of reaching up to 2,000 km, Iran has become a major missile power in the region. New developments—like hypersonic weapons, cruise missiles, and swarm drones—aim to bypass advanced defense systems and overwhelm opponents.
Despite past conflicts, much of this infrastructure remains protected underground and quickly recoverable. While long-range capabilities are still developing, the immediate regional impact is significant, highlighting the growing risks of modern missile expansion.
