TEHRAN (Tasnim) - The IRGC has unveiled a vast underground missile complex, described by officials as a symbol of Irans expanding Iron Fist, housing thousands of precision-strike missiles to reinforce the countrys military strength.

The facility was unveiled on Tuesday with Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Baqeri and the Aerospace Divisions Commander Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh in attendance.

Footage published across various Iranian news outlets showed the top brass touring the sprawling center that houses thousands of surgical strike ballistic missiles such as Kheybar Shekan, Martyr Haj Qassem, Qadr-H, Sejjil, and Emad.

Among the projectiles, Irans Kheybar Shekan-1 missile is credited with being capable of defeating the United States much-vaunted THAAD missile system, while Kheybar Shekan-2 has been developed so it can evade the system. The American missile systems projectiles are said to enjoy destructive capability against targets lying as far as 200 kilometers (124 miles) away.

Martyr Haj Qassem among the missiles has been codenamed after the Islamic Republics top anti-terror commander, Lt. Gen. Qassem Soleimani, who was assassinated in early 2020 in an American aerial attack against Baghdad amid his instrumental role in defeating foreign-backed Takfiri terrorists across the region.

The Qadr-H missile that can fly as far as 1,700 kilometers (1,056 miles) as well as the Emad and Sejjil missiles have also been rated as effective medium-range ballistic projectiles in the countrys firepower.

Irans iron fist is far stronger [today] than before, Baqeri said, addressing the facilitys personnel during the tour.

10 times stronger than True Promise II

All the [defensive] dimensions that are required for generating a [military] capability that is ten times [stronger than] the one deployed during Operation True Promise II, has been created, the commander added.

Last year, the Islamic Republic demonstrated its military might with Operation True Promise I and II, retaliatory strikes launched in response to Israeli aggression.

The operations, carried out using hundreds of ballistic missiles and drones, showcased Iran's ability to strike Israeli military and intelligence targets with surgical accuracy.

Iranian officials have underscored that the country only deployed a fraction of its firepower during the dual reprisal.

Baqeri further noted that the pace at which the Islamic Republic was developing its defensive might was far faster than the pace of the enemies recuperation.

The enemy will definitely fall behind in this balance of power, the official asserted, hailing that the Iranian Armed Forces were staying on their course of further development, enhancement, and empowerment.
