Hebrew channel 12 said the plans to build the tunnel come amid fears of another “Israeli” attack, or a scenario in which Iran and its arch-nemesis could trade blows.

The tunnel will connect Tehran’s metro stations to the Imam Khomeini Hospital, and to allow access from underground.

"For the first time in the country's history, a tunnel with defensive significance is being built in Tehran," said the head of transportation in the Iranian capital to Tasnim.

Senior Iranian officials, with supreme leader Khamenei at the helm, has vowed repeatedly to respond to the latest “Israeli” airstrikes that took place on Oct. 26.

In turn, “Israeli” officials warned that if Iran strikes again, the next round of attacks will be more significant and destructive, potentially expanding to key Iranian energy and oil infrastructure.

The decision by Iran to build the defensive tunnel also comes after Trump’s re-election, with the possibility that he will enable “Israel” to take a more aggressive approach against Iran and its allies when he takes office.
