The Iranian government spends a great deal of time whining about how U.S. sanctions against its illegal nuclear program are crushing its economy and causing civilians to suffer, but the regime still has plenty of money to spend on weapons. On Tuesday, the Iranian military posted a video showing off a massive “underground missile city” packed full of expensive weapons.
Iran has a history of releasing boastful “missile city” videos when it feels threatened. Tuesday’s video was actually the third such propaganda release in less than a month. In January, shortly before President Donald Trump’s second inauguration, Iranian state television broadcast footage of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commander Gen. Hossein Salami visiting an underground missile city hidden somewhere “in the mountains.” This missile base was ostensibly involved in Iran’s ineffective missile attack against Israel.
In 2016, when the Obama administration was dithering over reimposing sanctions against Iran for blatantly violating President Barack Obama’s nuclear deal, the Iranians published footage of an underground missile city stocked with potentially nuclear-capable ballistic missiles that clearly violated U.N. Security Council resolutions. Obama backed down from imposing sanctions despite Tehran’s taunts. The Jerusalem Post said the missile city in Tuesday’s video appeared to contain at least five different types of long-range missile, including the Emad missile – the same class of U.N.-defying weapon showcased in the 2016 video.
