The Middle East is currently engulfed in the flames of a terrible war. Iran is currently fighting a battle for survival after the assassination of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei. The real secret behind the way Iran is confronting the modern weapons of Israel and America is hidden not above the ground but hundreds of feet below the ground. 'Missile City' 1600 feet below the ground Iran has its 'missile treasure' more deadly than its regular army.

According to reports that surfaced in February 2025, Iran has built an entire 'missile city' 1600 feet deep under the mountains and in the desert sand. According to a Reuters report, Iran has 5 such secret missile stations under cities like Tehran, Ramanshah and Semnan. These tunnels are so strong and deep that even America's most powerful 'Bunker Buster' bombs cannot damage them. Not only are missiles stored here, but sophisticated facilities are also available to manufacture and launch them directly from there. Strike capability of up to 2000 km: Iran has the largest stock of missiles in the Middle East on American base targets. Its power can be divided into two parts:

Short range (150-800 km) : Iran has direct access to neighboring countries like Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq through missiles like Fateh-110 and Shahab-1.

Medium range (up to 2000 km): Ballistic missiles like Shahab-3 and Sejjil can strike up to 2000 km. This range covers the entire Israel and all the US military bases in the Middle East. 'Suicide drones' that block radar Not only missiles, but also 'suicide drones' like its Shahed-136 are important in Iran's strategy. This drone has a range of 2500 km. Its specialty is that it flies very slowly and low-flying, due to which even the most sophisticated radar system cannot catch it.

Strait of Hormuz: An economic threat to the world War is not fought only with weapons, it is also fought with the economy. Iran has the ability to control the 'Strait of Hormuz'. It is noteworthy that 20% of the world's total oil trade passes through this narrow waterway. If Iran carries out its threat to close this route, there could be a terrible surge in oil prices globally.

This is a matter of concern for countries like India because half of our oil imports depend on this route. Will this kingdom of the underworld save Iran? Experts believe that Iran has the capacity to continue its offensive attacks for many more days. However, in the era of technology and satellite surveillance, will these secret tunnels be able to provide complete security to Iran? Only time will tell. But for now, this 'underworld' of Iran has become a big headache for Western countries.
