Iran is building an underground tunnel to store missiles and large-scale weapons, according to satellite images obtained by Fox News and Western intelligence sources who reviewed the information.

The structure, housed within the Imam Ali military base in Eastern Syria, is estimated to be nearly 400 feet long, 15 feet wide and 13 feet deep.

The first image--taken by Image Sat International (ISI), an end-to-end geospatial intelligence solutions company, where construction of the tunnel can be seen--was captured on Oct. 5.

Two weeks later, a shed was used to hide the tunnel entrance from the air. Large dirt piles appeared at the opposite end of the tunnel as excavations continue.

Good article. Lots of satellite imagery. Worth a click.

The discovery of the tunnel construction comes after a report last week in the New York Times indicated that Iran is secretly moving hundreds of short range missiles to Iraq that are capable of hitting Israel, Saudi Arabia and US troops in the region.

13 feet deep.

Only 13 feet deep? That is easily collapsible with minimal penetration.

Now you know what they did with the money that bammy sent them.

There would be no one to run the place if they were all dead from radiation eh?

I say we dispatch a few of these with bunker busters to show ‘em what a real hole in the ground looks like.

[Romulus]

Oooo, good find! Let’s go to war. It should be a cakewalk. And Bibi will be so pleased.

Let’s go to war. It should be a cakewalk.

Yep, in and out in about 20 years or so.....

[JimRed]

A little 5KT nuke seals off the entry. And they have to wait years to safely dig it out.

[ASOC]

Meh.

We know where it is
we can destroy it.

Bunker buster - old school tech

"Iran is building an underground tunnel to store missiles and large-scale weapons"

The military has a proper name for this. It's called "Target".
