Iran boasts of underground “missile cities” along Gulf coast, a “nightmare for Iran’s enemies”

Jul 9, 2020 12:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

Although it is no secret that Iran grandstands, the Islamic regime was enabled to expand its influence and reach under the Obama administration, via the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (aka the Iran deal), along with other backroom appeasement deals by Obama. Tens of billions of dollars flowed into the coffers of Iran, which it used to build its nuclear arsenal and fund its proxies. Now we see more of the fruit of Obama’s investment:

The commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has touted underground “missile cities,” along the Gulf coastline. Navy Rear Admiral Alireza Tangisiri announced the construction of new underground “missile cities” Sunday, as he warned that they would be a “nightmare” for Iran’s “enemies.”…“We have missile-launching floating cities which we will display whenever our leaders see fit.”

“Iran Boasts of Underground ‘Missile Cities’ Along Persian Gulf Coast,” Breitbart Jerusalem, July 7, 2020:

The commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has touted underground “missile cities,” along the Gulf coastline.

Navy Rear Admiral Alireza Tangisiri announced the construction of new underground “missile cities” Sunday, as he warned that they would be a “nightmare” for Iran’s “enemies.”

“We have missile-launching floating cities which we will display whenever our leaders see fit,” Tangsiri told the Sobh-e Sadegh weekly.

Tangsiri also referred to the new missile cities as “underground cities that house vessels and missiles.”

He added that southern Iran’s entire shoreline has weapons.

The weapons, mostly in the hands of the IRGC, include units of Basij and 428 flotillas operating along the coastline and concentrated along the Persian Gulf, according to state media reports.

The boasting comes in the aftermath of a fire Thursday at Iran’s Natanz nuclear complex.

Atomic Energy Organization of Iran spokesman Behrouz Kamalvandi said the incident damaged one of the under-construction sheds at the complex and there were no casualties or damage to current activities at the nuclear facility.

However, the New York Times has reported that since then the government has acknowledged that the incident caused significant damage, which will set back Iran’s nuclear program by months.

Furthermore, the Jerusalem Post cited an Arabic-language daily newspaper, Kuwait’s Al-Jarida, which said an Israeli cyberattack struck Iran’s Natanz Nuclear Facility on Thursday. According to the the Kuwaiti paper, the explosion and another explosion near Parchin targeted UF6 gas storage used for uranium enrichment and Iran has now lost 80 percent of its stock of this gas.

The touting of “missile cities” also comes after state media reported that Iran successfully test fired short and long-range cruise missiles in a naval exercise in the Oman Sea and northern Indian Ocean last month, hitting targets at a distance of about 174 miles……

    That would truly be a sight to see – a city that floats under the ground. On what does the city float? Water? Air? I’m going to guess air – lots and lots of hot air.

    sounds very much like Adolf in his bunker in May talking about those “secret weapons”. To be sure, I am not comparing these monkeys to German engineers…

      No comparison here. Iranians are a far cry from inventing anything like the German Hauneubu or Vril.

      RichardL,

      During World War II, the German engineers were among the best in the world.

      One example is the Messerschmitt Me 262, the world’s first operational jet-powered fighter aircraft.

    Thanks for telling the intelligence community where to look. Western air forces probably have all the information and plans needed to create an underground melted city at a hidden location in Iran.

    The Iranian missile sites are a two-way street. The Iranian air force should remember that INCOMING MISSILES and BOMBS have the right of way.

      I think their plan is to make the US look for the floating pieces of junk and then claim they caused the great satan embarrassment because they were looking for something that wasn’t there.

      My crystal ball sees cluster bombs and bunker-busters in the future of those underground cities. Who knows when?

    A floating missile city?
    What’s that? an RPG in an inflatable rubber boat?
    So, underground missile cities are obviously RPGs in dug outs in the sand,,,before the it’s turned into glass by Israel.
