Satellite images showed that the Iranian ballistic missile site “Khurgo” is almost operational, after the construction of new launch sites was completed, according to the US news network “Fox News”.
Construction began on the “Khorgo” site three years ago and is located about 800 km off the Kuwait coast and less than 300 km off the coast of the United Arab Emirates, according to Fox News.
Photographs taken by “Maxar Technologies” reveal that the Iranians had built four holes in the side of a mountain in the southwest of the country.
According to a separate analysis by the “Intel Lab” group, three of those wells containing basic elements for missile launch sites have reached the final stage of construction.
“Given the current geographic location and topography, once this complex reaches full operational capacity, it will not be easy to neutralize it through conventional means,” the network quoted “Intel Lab” chief analyst Itay Bar Lev as saying.
This information comes alongside the announcement by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard on Monday of the opening of a new underground missile facility, the location of which they did not reveal.
The base was examined by the commander of the Revolutionary Guard, Hossein Salami, who boasted that it constitutes only a “small part of the great and extensive missile capacity” that Tehran possesses, according to a report of the British newspaper “Daily Mail”.
Images on state television showed rows of missiles hidden in a warehouse in an underground base, while the commander of the Revolutionary Guard naval unit said the site was equipped to monitor enemy signals.
Tehran claims it has missiles that can reach up to 1,200 miles, and puts much of the Middle East within range, including Israel.
The United States and its allies, especially Israel, see Iran’s missile program as a threat, along with the secret nuclear program that Tehran says is for peaceful purposes.
Since 2011, Tehran has claimed to have underground facilities throughout the country, as well as along the southern coastline near the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
