TEHRAN: Iran has released a video showing underground military facilities, following US President Donald Trump’s claim that Iran’s military power has been severely damaged and that the US has already prevailed in the conflict. The footage, aired by Iranian state television and official news agencies, was presented as evidence that the country’s defenses remain intact.
Speaking to international media after the US midterm election results, Trump said the fighting with Iran was militarily close to its end and that Iran’s capabilities had been badly degraded. He said large-scale strikes did not appear necessary for now but warned that the US military was ready to respond if circumstances changed. Trump also said the US would not allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons. He has repeatedly said that US and Israeli attacks wiped out Iran’s military capacity, a claim he repeated after the midterms.
The video, released by Iran’s defense ministry, shows tunnel complexes stretching for kilometers, reportedly carved into mountains to withstand airstrikes and bunker-buster bombs. Ballistic and cruise missiles are seen lined up in rows, along with heavy-duty military trucks used to transport them. The footage was presented as showing that Iranian forces can store missiles underground and launch them within moments, and that the country’s defense sector has grown stronger despite international sanctions. The footage has not been independently verified, and its date and location are unknown.
The display comes as peace talks between the two countries remain stalled, raising concerns of renewed conflict in West Asia.
Two senior Iranian commanders appear in newly released footage touring an underground facility that the Revolutionary Guards describe as a new “missile city.” The video was published by Tasnim, a news agency affiliated with the IRGC. https://t.co/v0pHX6f3lN
