The Iranian Revolutionary Guard has unveiled a new underground missile storage facility that it says will boost the country’s naval strike capabilities.

 

Revolutionary Guard Commander General Hossein Salami says the facility will store ballistic and cruise missiles with ranges of up to 2000km.

 

Iran’s navy, to which it has made significant improvements in recent years, is perceived as both a regional and global threat due to its influence in the Strait of Hormuz, the main shipping route for the world’s oil.
