Iran, which conducted one of the most comprehensive military exercises in recent years, challenged the United States and Israel in a video it released. The footage features two commanders entering underground missile facilities while stepping on the flags of the two countries, conveying the message that the missiles in the facilities, likened to a "sleeping volcano," will soon explode.
Iran, one of the most comprehensive military exercises in recent years, made a significant show of force just days before Donald Trump took office in the U.S. and introduced an underground facility housing missiles used against Israel.
THEY ENTERED BY STEPPING ON FLAGS
Commander of the Revolutionary Guards, Hossein Salami, and Commander of the Air Force, Amir Ali Hajizadeh, entered the facility by stepping on the flags of the U.S. and Israel that were laid on the ground.
THEY COMPARED THE FACILITY TO A SLEEPING VOLCANO
The Tasnim news agency emphasized that the base was used in missile attacks against Israel during Iran's operations named Real Promise 1 and 2 in April and October 2024, while state television likened the facility to a 'sleeping volcano' and stated, "The volcano lying beneath these mountains could erupt at any moment."
Pointing out Iran's large arsenal, Commander Salami of the Revolutionary Guards rejected claims that Iran's armed forces were weakening and announced that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Aerospace Force had developed "new special missiles."
