Tehran unveils underground missile base as Washington rules out large-scale military action

Tehran, Iran ·

Iran is opening a missile base built into the mountains, intended to strengthen deterrence. Washington, meanwhile, is ruling out large-scale military operations and prefers to keep up economic pressure.

Iran and the United States have been at odds for decades over Iran's nuclear and missile programmes and regional influence, with sanctions and economic pressure a central tool of US policy.
