The Pasdaran released another video in March touting what they said was a “new” underground missile storage site. Every so often they issue such videos. Iran Wire said they have issued five such videos, each after some political challenge, like the assassination of Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleymani and the explosion that leveled the centrifuge assembly building at Natanz, raising questions about whether this video shows a new site or just the same old one. Previous videos have generally showed large missiles, while this one featured these smaller missiles but a lot of them. Five years ago, a deputy to Soleymani said Iran had 14 underground depots for missiles at depths of 30 meters to 500 meters (100 feet to 1,600 feet), which doesn’t sound credible.
