Tensions rise as Iran threatens Israel, reveals new underground airbase
Iranian general issues threatening message to Iran while revealing underground airbase
Iran officially revealed the first of its kind underground airbase Tuesday dubbed "Eagle 44," capable of housing fighter jets and long-range cruise missiles, first reported Iranian news outlet IRNA.
An opening ceremony was reportedly attended by Iran’s top military commanders, including its Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Bagheri and Army Commander Major General Abrolrahim Mousavi.
Iranian officials not only championed how the airbase will enable its military to better conduct varied operations, but struck an aggressive tone when it came to its chief adversary, Israel.
Iran has previously revealed similar underground bases used to house missiles and drones as well as its ability to launch ballistic missiles from underground.
Ben Taleblu said Tehran "understands that without hardening, dispersing them, and making them into a more survivable force, it's not going to be able to keep these weapons."
"The regime is looking at procuring some more advanced conventional systems and this base could be making the space for that," Ben Taleblu explained.
