IRAN’S UNDERGROUND ARSENAL COULD SUSTAIN WAR FOR 20 YEARS MOHSEN REZAEI WARNS TRUMP OF “THE GATES OF HELL”
In one of the strongest and most alarming warnings yet, former senior Iranian military commander Mohsen Rezaei has claimed that Iran possesses a vast hidden arsenal beneath the ground, including an extensive network of underground tunnels packed with strategic weapons and countless drones ready for deployment.
Rezaei’s Key Messages:
◾ Enough reserves for 20 years of war: Rezaei claimed that Iran’s secret underground facilities have been stocked with sufficient weapons, equipment and military reserves to sustain a prolonged war of attrition and continuous offensive operations against U.S. forces for more than 20 years.
◾ Dismisses Trump’s calculations: Rezaei said any belief by President Donald Trump or the U.S. administration that Iran’s offensive capabilities could be neutralized through military strikes was a serious strategic miscalculation, arguing that Washington does not fully understand the scale of Iran’s underground military infrastructure.
◾ Drones ready for the signal: According to Rezaei, underground facilities across Iran have effectively been transformed into heavily armed military complexes, with drones positioned in concealed bases and ready to launch when ordered.
◾ Warning of a prolonged and devastating war: Rezaei warned that if Washington believes it can achieve its objectives through quick strikes or a limited military campaign, it could instead face a prolonged and large-scale conflict. He said such a confrontation would “open the gates of hell” and could become a war that the United States would struggle to withstand.
◾ A message to the White House: The warning was presented as a direct message to Washington: any miscalculated military move against Iran could trigger the deployment of a massive and
hidden offensive capability
Iranian officials have repeatedly highlighted their underground missile, drone and military infrastructure as a key component of the country’s defense strategy, although Rezaei’s claims regarding the scale of the arsenal and its ability to sustain a 20-year war could not be independently verified.
