Iranian military leadership has reportedly unveiled new ballistic capabilities and warned adversaries of unprecedented battlefield surprises during an inspection of a strategic underground "missile city" operated by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Force, Iran's Tasnim news agency reported on Tuesday.
Ali Abdollahi, Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces and Commander of the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, toured the subterranean facility alongside senior commanders to review arsenals of solid- and liquid-fueled ballistic missiles, cruise systems, and heavy automated launchers, as stated by Tasnim.
The broadcast highlighted the unveiling of newly engineered armaments, including an advanced missile described by military officials as a key strategic deterrent designed to confound enemy defenses in any potential conflict.
"The capabilities of our advanced missiles on the battlefield will surprise our enemies," Abdollahi stated during the inspection, stating that armed forces units are prepared to counter threats both regionally and beyond.
The report framed the inspection around an evolving military doctrine directing armed forces to deliver immediate and impactful retaliatory strikes without geographical boundaries.
Iranian defense officials said that this posture reflects the removal of operational missile range restrictions and substantial engineering upgrades to payload yields, specifically calibrated to "overcome Western-supplied layered air defense networks."
