Tehran is doubling down on its missile might, inaugurating an underground IRGC base that spotlights advanced weaponry just as U.S.-Iran diplomacy heats up against a backdrop of mutual distrust and military posturing.
Key figures—Chief of Staff Abdolrahim Mousavi and Aerospace Commander Saeid Majid Mousavi—toured the site Wednesday, scrutinizing missile brigade efficiencies and arming leaders with insights into tactical evolutions and readiness levels.
On site, Mousavi celebrated ballistic missile overhauls that have supercharged Iran’s interception prowess. Drawing from lessons of the 2025 Israel face-off, Iran has retooled its strategy: from defense to offense, harnessing speed, scale, guerrilla innovations, and annihilation-focused tactics.
U.S. force buildups keep the feud alive, with Trump’s deal-or-else rhetoric stoking fires. Iran’s Sunday salvo via Mousavi: any U.S. blunder sparks retaliation unbound, morphing into regional cataclysm.
‘The tiniest lapse empowers Iran’s decisive action—no American stays unscathed, as the inferno engulfs the U.S. and allies,’ he forewarned. This subterranean reveal amplifies Iran’s narrative of preparedness and provocation.
Observers note its timing as masterful brinkmanship, strengthening negotiation leverage while warding off incursions. Yet risks loom: misreads could unravel talks, thrusting the Middle East into chaos. Iran’s gambit redefines power dynamics, challenging Washington to recalibrate amid whispers of war.
