Iran unveiled its first Underground Naval Base
The complex is located 500 meters below the earth's surface, making it impossible to destroy with a bunker-buster

I have to wonder why Iran is releasing this information at this time.

When nuclear testing went underground, we developed a way to shape charge the detonation. A bunker buster wouldn’t need to breech 500 meters, if it has a kiloton shape charge. Radioactive leakage would also be kept to a minimum. Bad move on Iran’s part releasing this information.
I have read that the compression waves from an appropriately-designed bunker buster nuke would utterly destroy humans and delicate equipment.
Sure would not want that knocking on my roof……
Just imagine what would have happened if the Eisenhower administration and the CIA has simply left them alone in 1953 instead of staging a coup and installing the Shah as their puppet government.
I have to wonder why Iran is releasing this information at this time.
Rumor has it that Trump told Netanyahu that if he went for the ceasefire that the US would assist in an attack on Iran. Whether or not that’s true, it would appear the Iranians are attempting to insulate themselves from an attack.
#1 Proving they can defeat the Iron Dome.
#2 The just signed mutual defense pact with Russia.
