An Arabic-language security analysis channel reports that the Iranian regime began excavating extensive missile tunnels under its southern coastal islands in 1994, using expertise from the Tehran metro company. The channel claims the tunnels explain rapid military changes on the islands. The report cannot be independently verified.
An Arabic-language security analysis channel published what it describes as a 'first expose' claiming that Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) used methods from the Tehran metro company to dig a vast missile tunnel network under the country's southern coastal islands starting in 1994. The channel asserts that the tunnel network explains the rapid military changes observed on the islands in recent years. The Zioneer has previously reported on Iran's underground military infrastructure, including tunnel systems at the Isfahan nuclear facility and beneath the IRGC ground forces headquarters in Tehran. The current claim, if accurate, would suggest the program's origins date back to the mid-1990s, earlier than widely assumed. The information is based on a single source and cannot be independently verified.
