The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is making final preparations for a missile and submarine display at Azadi Square in Tehran, according to security analyst Yair Goldblatt. Goldblatt noted that the timing of the power display is directed at the West and the United States, but suggested it does not make a significant impression. Earlier reports and footage circulating on social media showed a submarine and a Zolfaghar missile launcher at the square.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is in final preparations for a missile and submarine exhibition at Azadi Square in Tehran, according to security analyst Yair Goldblatt. In a post on X, Goldblatt described the move as a power display timed to send a message to the West and the United States, though he assessed that the show of force is unlikely to make a significant impression.
As The Zioneer reported earlier this evening, footage circulating on social media already showed a submarine and a Zolfaghar missile launcher on display at the square. The display appears to be part of a broader IRGC effort to project strength amid ongoing regional tensions.
The exhibition itself remains unconfirmed by official Iranian sources, and it is unclear whether the submarine and missile systems are operational or static models. Goldblatt's assessment is based on open-source monitoring and has not been independently verified by other outlets.
