Iran's Revolutionary Guards have presented an underground missile complex, according to a November 10 report by the corps-affiliated Tasnim News Agency. Tasnim says ballistic and cruise missiles and launch systems were displayed during a visit by armed forces chief of staff Ali Abdollahi and Aerospace Force commander Majid Mousavi.

Al-Monitor also reported the unveiling and described footage in Iranian media showing the commanders inspecting missiles, launchers and vehicles. The announcement forms part of the IRGC Aerospace Force Week. Descriptions of the site as a new 'missile city' come from Iranian military and media accounts, rather than an independent inspection.

The published material does not independently establish when the complex was built, its location, the number of operational weapons, or the production capacity claimed by Iranian officials. The verifiable development is the public announcement and display, not proof of the facility's military effectiveness.
