Iran has reopened most entrances to 18 underground missile sites struck in war: Report
CNN analysis found Iran cleared 50 of 69 blocked tunnel entrances at underground missile sites as it works to restore missile launch access.
- On Thursday, satellite imagery confirmed Iran has cleared 50 of 69 blocked tunnel entrances across 18 missile sites since the April 8 ceasefire, using bulldozers and dump trucks to restore access.
- During the recent war, United States and Israeli forces bombed tunnel entrances and access roads to prevent Iran from deploying missiles stored deep underground.
- Reports indicate rapid rehabilitation of drone and missile sites, with Iran rebuilding military capabilities faster than intelligence assessments initially predicted, assisted by Russia and China.
- Experts estimate Iran retains around 1,000 missiles deep underground, and Sam Lair, a research associate at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies, says Iran can "continue launching missiles so long as they have launchers."
- Built over 20 years, Iran's network of underground bases offers considerable protection to its remaining launchers, and Tehran could fully restore its drone attack capacity within six months.
