CNN: Iran has reopened several entrances to its underground missile facilities

CNN reported on Sunday, June 10, citing satellite images, that Iran has managed to unearth several of its buried missile stockpiles since the cessation of hostilities due to airstrikes by the U.S. and Israel.

The attacks by the U.S. and Israel had limited Iran's access to its underground missile bases by destroying roads and blocking tunnel entrances.

CNN claims that Iran has so far reopened 50 out of 69 tunnel entrances that were targeted in 18 underground missile facilities by the U.S. and Israel, including at bases outside Isfahan and around Khomein.

According to the news network's report, Iran has also repaired other parts of these bases, including roads that the U.S. and Israel bombed to prevent the movement of missile launchers. Satellite images show that nearly all the craters caused by the bombings have now been filled, and in two bases, these roads have even been repaved.

Iran has constructed its network of underground bases deep within the earth and in some cases beneath mountains to protect them from air attacks, which is why the U.S. and Israel bombed many of the entrances to these facilities; an action that, alongside efforts to identify and destroy missile launchers, significantly limited Iran's ability to launch missiles.

These attacks inflicted heavy damage on the bases, burying most tunnel entrances under a massive amount of rubble and severely damaging the roads leading to these sites.

CNN states that reopening the entrances to the underground missile facilities could enable Iran to launch more ballistic missiles towards Israel and other countries in the event of a new round of hostilities compared to the late stages of the 40-day war.
