In a public move designed to humiliate the U.S., Iran on Tuesday unveiled an underground missile depot stocked so full of Emad ballistic missiles that they have no more room for missiles recently produced. The Emad precision-guided missile can deliver a nuclear warhead and is a clear violation of United Nations (UN) resolutions.
The underground facility is located in the mountains and run by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. According to a Reuters report, it was unveiled in a video by Tasnim news agency, state television and radio.
“Iran’s depots and underground facilities are so full that they do not know how to store their new missiles,” said Brigadier General Hossein Salami, the Revolutionary Guards’ second-in-command.
The Obama administration says it is “considering” sanctions on individuals and businesses involved in producing the missiles due to recent missile tests, including a “highly provocative” test next to the USS Harry S. Truman. But the international community will continue dismantling sanctions on the Iranian regime as it implements certain aspects of the nuclear deal agreed to by six world powers late last year.
Iran will gain access to upwards of $100 to $150 billion dollars to further its weapons programs and terrorist support globally. With the public display of thumbing its nose at America, the United Nations, and the Obama administration, Iran is stating through its actions that it will threaten the world once it gains nuclear weapons in the time period allowed by the nuclear agreement. This incident is one in a long string of aggressive, illegal actions by Iran since the deal was signed in July 2015.
As the Obama administration moves full steam ahead with the deal in spite of Iran’s actions, the only realistic conclusion is that the White House is complicit in allowing Iran to develop nuclear weapons and the means to deliver them which will threaten the sovereignty and national security of the United States.
