Tehran can strike its enemies from any point within its territory if necessary, the Iranian Embassy in Lebanon stressed on Friday, emphasizing that the underground military facility scenes broadcast by the Military Media of the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon "exist throughout Iran."

In a statement published on its official account on the X platform, the Embassy confirmed that the footage showcased by Hezbollah of the Imad 4 missile facility, located underground and embedded within rocks and mountains, is referred to in Persian as "missile cities".

The Iranian embassy said that these facilities "instill fear in the hearts of our enemies."

في اللغة الفارسية، نطلق على المنشآت الصاروخية الموجودة تحت الأرض وداخل الصخور والجبال "مدن الصواريخ". هذه المدن الصاروخية موجودة في جميع أنحاء جغرافية #إيران العزيزة، وهي تزرع الرعب في قلوب أعداء إيران. يمكننا، إذا لزم الأمر، مهاجمة العدو من أي نقطة في الجمهورية الإسلامية… https://t.co/WkhHbMgq6J

The embassy's statement comes after Hezbollah released Friday a new video showcasing a sophisticated underground facility and an extensive tunnel network, complete with missile launchpads, amid Israeli anticipation for the Lebanese Resistance group's response to the assassination of top commander Sayyed Fouad Shokor (Hajj Mohsen).

The video titled "Our Mountains, Our Strongholds" features the Imad 4 facility, which highlights the Resistance's missile capabilities.

The footage reveals Hezbollah freedom fighters inside a sophisticated underground complex, with visible signs marking the facility as Imad 4 and displaying the Quranic verse: "Prepare against them whatever you can of [military] power."

The video also shows missile trucks moving inside the facility toward a blast door, preparing them for launch.

The video includes excerpts from a speech by Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, during which he asserted that "the Resistance is stronger than ever since its inception in the region."

Al Mayadeen dissects Hezbollah's video

Al Mayadeen's sources revealed that Imad 4 features a state-of-the-art technical system and a secure communication network that links it to the outside world, allowing it to receive launch orders within minutes, adding that the network's communications are said to be highly encrypted for added security.

The sources also disclosed that the facility is equipped with a comprehensive logistics team, as well as dedicated construction, security, and backup launch teams. These teams operate based on pre-determined coordinates for launching operations.

In addition, the facility, according to exclusive sources, is outfitted with a field hospital and enough supplies to sustain its occupants for a period ranging from eight months to a year.

The same sources also noted that the Resistance maintains larger, more critical facilities designed to accommodate larger and heavier rockets, including precision missiles.

It is worth noting that the video comes shortly after US special envoy Amos Hochstein arrived in Beirut, warning that time is running out to secure a Gaza ceasefire and a deal for the release of Israeli captives, which could also bring an end to the situation on the Lebanese-Palestinian borders.
