Iran Restores Buried Missile Bases, Undermining US Strike Strategy
Iran has swiftly dug out and repaired dozens of its underground missile launch sites that were blocked by recent US and Israeli strikes. Satellite images reviewed by CNN show bulldozers filling craters and repaving roads at 50 of the 69 entrances once buried under rubble. Experts say this low-tech repair effort highlights the limits of targeting tunnel entrances without a broader strategy to degrade Iran’s missile stockpile. Analysts warn that as long as launchers and crews remain intact, Iran can resume long-range strikes. Even with a tentative deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the need for clear strategic aims remains. Observers note that tactical successes in entombing facilities can become strategic failures if they aren’t backed by achievable war objectives.
