TEHRAN, Saturday (7/11/2026), the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced that it has moved missile and drone production facilities underground to ensure manufacturing continues during air attacks.
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) spokesperson Hossein Mohebbi stated during a press conference in Tehran that the country is preparing to unveil an underground missile city designed to store and manufacture weapons without disruption.
Mohebbi explained that the rapid relocation of production lines from surface installations to subterranean facilities enables Iran to maintain steady stockpiles, countering adversary assessments that its weaponry reserves are depleting.
He also highlighted advancements in stealth capabilities that allow unmanned aerial vehicles and missiles to bypass adversary air defense systems. According to Mohebbi, these systems successfully penetrated defenses during confrontations with the United States and Israel.
"Currently, every weapon used by the IRGC Aerospace Force is produced relying on domestic knowledge and expertise. Furthermore, our products were not developed through reverse engineering of captured enemy military equipment," Mohebbi said as quoted by the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA).
Reports published by The Wall Street Journal indicated that Iranian attacks caused billions of dollars in damage to US military installations across the Middle East. Similar escalations previously occurred when serangan rudal dan drone Iran rusak pangkalan militer AS in regional conflict zones.
A separate report by Reuters recorded at least 135 strikes launched by Iran against infrastructure across Gulf nations, inflicting widespread disruption and billions of dollars in financial losses. Teheran has repeatedly developed reinforced underground compounds, echoing earlier developments where Iran pamerkan pabrik bawah tanah drone Arash dan tembak jatuh pesawat nirawak AS during past tensions.
Mohebbi added that all range limits on Iranian missiles have been lifted following directives from Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, who warned that Iran would enforce no geographic limits if attacked again.
The military hostilities involving the United States, Israel, and Iran began on February 28, 2026, prompting Tehran to close the Strait of Hormuz. On Friday (6/11/2026), US President Donald Trump stated that American forces carried out a limited operation on Qeshm Island while noting ongoing diplomatic communications.
To counter Iranian logistics, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) formed a specialized task force to block overland arms transfers. The move expands Washington's strategic posturing in the Gulf, where IRGC mocks CENTCOM chief over downed US military drones and enforces maritime blockades on Iranian petroleum shipments.
