Israel denounces the reconstruction of an underground military missile base in Iran

The intelligence images point to that Tehran would be reactivating in a few days a key facility in Khomein, while concern grows for the resilience of the Iranian military program.

Israel has denounced that Iran is rapidly advancing in the reconstruction of an underground missile base located in the Khomein area, just days after having been the target of air strikes.

According to an intelligence report cited by Israeli sources, the most recent satellite images show that the access areas to the military complex have been cleared, which would indicate the start of recovery work at the facility.

Limited damage in the main structure

According to the assessment disseminated by the Mossad, the attacks would have mainly affected the exterior accesses and entrance tunnels, while the main structure of the complex, located under a mountain, would have remained intact.

This underground configuration would explain, according to analysts, the speed with which Iran would be managing to reestablish part of the operability of the military enclave.

“He is recovering in days”

The message attributed to Israeli intelligence underscores the speed of the Iranian recovery process with a clear warning: “Iran is not recovering in months. It is recovering in days”.

This statement reinforces the idea that, despite the bombings, the Iranian military infrastructure maintains a high capacity for resilience.

A strategic pulse in constant evolution

Tehran has not confirmed nor denied the information nor has it offered details about the state of the indicated base. The lack of official response adds to a series of external evaluations that point to an accelerated recomposition of the Iranian missile system.

In parallel, the director of the IAEA, Rafael Grossi, has insisted on the need to resume international inspections on sensitive nuclear material, warning of the risk of loss of control in a context of high regional tension.

An infrastructure difficult to neutralize

The known information about the system of Iranian underground bases points to a network of deeply buried facilities distributed throughout the country, designed precisely to resist attacks and ensure operational continuity even in war scenarios.

In that context, the Israeli complaint once again brings to the table a strategic reality: the attacks can slow down, but not necessarily neutralize, the Iranian military capability in the long term.
