841 Iran 'ACTIVATES' Missile Cities? Inside Tehran's Mountain Fortress Designed For Second Strike Power

24 Feb 2026Iran has developed a network of underground missile bases, known as “missile cities,” designed to survive a first strike and launch a retaliatory attack. These facilities, built over four decades, feature reinforced tunnels, mobile missile launchers, and concealed launch hatches, making them difficult to target. Iran’s missile strategy, rooted in self-reliance and regional deterrence, emphasises mobility and concealment, setting it apart from the fixed silo systems of other major powers.
