Subterranean Strongholds: Inside Tehranās Vast Missile Cities TehranĀ has established a sophisticated network ofĀ missile citiesĀ located more than 500 meters beneath the Earthās surface. These subterranean fortresses are engineered to endure heavy aerial bombardment, serving as the bedrock of the nation’s military strategy. According to reports fromĀ United States Central Command, this infrastructure supports an expansive arsenal of overĀ 3,000 ballistic missiles, solidifying the region’s status as a leading missile power.
The diverse inventory includes tactical weapons such as theĀ FatehĀ andĀ ZolfagharĀ families, alongside strategic medium-range missiles like theĀ Shahab-3,Ā Khorramshahr, and the solid-fueledĀ Sejjil. With strike ranges extending up toĀ 2,000 kilometers, these systems provideĀ Tehran with high-precision capabilities that can reach a wide variety of regional targets, as demonstrated in previous coordinated strikes. While official statements suggest a self-imposed limit on missile range,Ā Western intelligence analystsĀ warn that the underlying technology serves as a foundation for developing even longer-distance capabilities. These fortified, isolated corridors ensure a resilient and modern threat toĀ regional stabilityĀ andĀ international security, allowing for sustained military operations even under intense external pressure.
