The army and subunits of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps are participating, according to the Tasnim News Agency.<\/p>\n<p>Fears of war are growing in Iran, commented the DPA agency, noting that conservative politicians in Tehran are calling for nuclear weapon tests as a\u00a0deterrent against potential attackers.<\/p>\n<p>DPA reminded that the Israeli government has repeatedly threatened to bomb Iranian nuclear facilities, believing that Tehran, which according to the International Atomic Energy Agency has accelerated uranium enrichment to 60 percent, aims to acquire nuclear weapons. According to Western experts, there is no civilian justification for Iran&#8217;s actions\u2014so far, only countries producing nuclear weapons have enriched uranium to this level. However, Tehran insists that its nuclear program is purely peaceful.<\/p>\n<p>The Iranian authorities fear that with Donald Trump&#8217;s return to the White House, which will occur on January 20, Israel might conduct a\u00a0major raid on Iranian nuclear facilities. However, whether bombing these sites would actually prevent the building of a\u00a0nuclear bomb is a\u00a0topic of discussion among experts, emphasized the German agency.<\/p>\n<p>Israeli forces have also been put on alert, fearing that tensions may lead to an attack from Iran, reported the &#8220;Jerusalem Post&#8221; portal. If it occurs, it would be the third attack by Iran on Israel this year, with previous airstrikes taking place in April and October 2024<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/essanews.com\/iran-unveils-underground-missile-city-amid-rising-tensions,7112855768901761a\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Breaking: Raw footage of the scale of Iran&#8217;s missile cities<\/strong><\/h1>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Deep Dive Defence \u2013 Jan 10, 2025<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gU96LGfErb0?si=8_d5TAWrBXiYuDzh\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n&#8212;<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gU96LGfErb0\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Newly released footage from one of Iran\u2019s \u2018missile cities\u2019 reveals a vast underground military installation packed with ballistic missiles <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39262,"featured_media":301756,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[51],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-301741","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-Iran"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/301741","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/39262"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=301741"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/301741\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":301759,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/301741\/revisions\/301759"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/301756"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=301741"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=301741"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=301741"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
