Iran clears entrances to underground missile bases during ceasefire - CNN
Iran has been working to remove debris blocking entrances to its underground missile bases during the ceasefire, CNN reported on Tuesday, citing satellite imagery.
The images show heavy machinery clearing tunnel entrances that were previously targeted in strikes by the United States and Israel to disrupt missile operations.
US intelligence previously assessed that roughly half of Iran’s missile launchers remained intact after a month of fighting, CNN reported, adding that some may have been buried following strikes on tunnel entrances.
Experts cited by CNN said the activity reflects the design of Iran’s underground “missile cities,” built to survive attacks and allow forces to re-emerge and resume operations.
