According to a CNN report, Iran is actively excavating its underground missile arsenal, raising questions about the effectiveness of U.S. efforts to diminish its military capabilities. The analysis of 69 tunnels across 18 missile bases revealed that 50 have been cleared, allowing access to missiles and drones. This development contradicts former President Donald Trump's earlier assertions that Iran's defense capabilities had been significantly weakened. Satellite imagery indicates substantial digging activity in Tehran, suggesting a concerted effort to recover and maintain its missile stockpile. Despite U.S. and Israeli attempts to block access to these weapons by targeting tunnel entrances, experts believe Iran has found ways to continue accessing its arsenal. The Pentagon is also facing challenges as U.S. stockpiles are being depleted faster than they can be replenished, with only 17% of the stockpiles replaced so far. Tensions escalated further with recent U.S. military strikes on Iranian sites, coinciding with delicate peace negotiations between the two nations.
