Iran revealed a new underground missile base on state television Saturday, underscoring advancements in its naval capabilities.
The base, housing an arsenal of ship-targeting missiles, was showcased as a demonstration of the country’s growing military reach.
Speaking at the unveiling, Revolutionary Guard Commander Hossein Salami said the missiles' range, precision and destructive power have seen significant improvements in recent months. "Our naval forces can now engage in combat operations even in distant locations," Salami declared, hinting at Iran's ambitions to project power beyond its regional waters.
