Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard launched underground ballistic missiles Wednesday as part of a drill that targeted a replica American aircraft carrier in the Strait of Hormuz, signaling a show of power to the U.S., with whom they are already at odds.
“We have carried out the launch of ballistic missiles from the depths of the earth for the first time," Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, commander of the Guard’s aerospace division, told state TV. "That means without utilizing conventional launchpads, the buried missiles suddenly rip out of the earth and hit their targets precisely.”
Drone footage captured by the Guard showed two missiles blasting out from covered positions in the desert early Wednesday morning, with debris flying up into the air in their wake. The Guard did not identify the location of the launch, nor the missiles involved, but it seemed to be near central Iran’s desert plateau.
