Iran unveils underwater missile tunnels, warns Strait of Hormuz could be targeted if attacked
——
Iran has revealed a network of underwater missile tunnels, warning that the Strait of Hormuz would not remain safe if the country were attacked, amid escalating tensions with the US. Footage aired on Iranian state television showed IRGC Navy commander Alireza Tangsiri inside the submarine missile facilities, displaying rows of cruise missiles reportedly capable of striking targets over 1,000 kilometers (621 miles) away with smart guidance systems.

Tangsiri said the tunnels were developed to confront US vessels operating in the Gulf and the Sea of Oman, emphasizing that Iranian forces are prepared to respond to threats “at any level and in any geography.” The announcement coincides with Iran’s claim of “complete dominance” over the Strait of Hormuz across air, surface, and subsurface domains, a vital waterway carrying roughly one-fifth of the world’s daily oil consumption.

Mohammed Akbarzadeh, political deputy of the IRGC Navy, highlighted Iran’s ability to track vessels in real time and stressed that Tehran does not seek war but is fully prepared. He warned that neighboring states would be treated as hostile if their territory were used in an attack on Iran, while Iranian media showcased footage of the USS Abraham Lincoln alongside simulated targeting, signaling Tehran’s readiness to respond decisively.
