Ali Khazraian, a member of the Iranian parliament's Security and Policy Committee, called for the construction of underground 'government cities' to protect senior officials and managers during attacks. He argued that Iran remains in a state of war and demanded a 'war budget,' dismissing public projects such as urban sewage systems as unnecessary. 'Even if a sewage project starts in five years, it won't be a problem – after all, it hasn't existed since the days of Adam,' he said, according to a Persian-language the source.
The proposal reflects the Iranian regime's focus on fortifying its leadership infrastructure amid ongoing conflict with Israel and the United States. The Zioneer has previously reported on Iran's construction of underground missile cities and command centers, as well as the presence of Iranian officers in underground headquarters in Lebanon. The call for a war budget comes as Iran faces severe economic pressure from a U.S. naval blockade and internal challenges.
