A report indicates Iran has carried out layering work at the entrances of the missile tunnel at the Yazd base, from which Khorramshahr 4 ballistic missiles have been repeatedly launched at Israel. The activity is seen as preparation for a potential near-term confrontation with Israel.
The report describes work carried out during the ongoing exchange of blows between Iran and Israel. The Yazd base has been a launch site for Khorramshahr 4 ballistic missiles targeting Israel in previous rounds of escalation, as The Zioneer has reported. The layering of tunnel entrances — a technique that can harden access points and facilitate rapid launch operations — is assessed by the report's source as a sign that the base is being readied for near-range ballistic missile fire. This activity follows earlier reports of Iran rehabilitating missile tunnel entrances in western Iran (The Zioneer, June 6), though the relationship between those efforts and the work at Yazd is not specified. The assessment remains based on a single source; no independent confirmation of the work or its purpose is available.
