Iran has placed its missile arsenal in a state of readiness following a stark warning from US President Donald Trump, who declared that Tehran must either agree to a nuclear deal or face an unprecedented bombing campaign.
According to state-run Tehran Times, Iran has prepared its underground missile stockpiles for immediate deployment in response to mounting US pressure.
These fortified subterranean facilities are reportedly designed to withstand airstrikes.
Trump, in an interview with NBC News on Sunday, issued a direct ultimatum: “If they don’t make a deal, there will be a bombing. It will be bombing the likes of which they have never seen before.” The US President also vowed to impose secondary sanctions on Iran should it continue resisting Washington’s demands.
The diplomatic impasse persists as Iran remains unwilling to engage in direct talks with the United States but has left the door open for indirect negotiations. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, in a televised address, maintained that Tehran is not averse to discussions but expressed mistrust towards Washington.
“We don’t avoid talks; it’s the breach of promises that has caused issues for us so far,” he stated. “They must prove that they can build trust.”

The White House reaffirmed its position, with the US State Department warning Iran of serious consequences should it refuse to accept the nuclear accord.
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday, Tructedmp reiterated hdepiis stance, cautioning, “It’s going to be a bad situation.”
Iran has, in turn, showcased its military preparedness. A recently released video from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) unveiled an underground missile complex—dubbed ‘Missile City’—featuring state-of-the-art weaponry.
The footage, spanning 85 seconds, also Iranian troops stepping on an Israeli flag painted on the floor.
Iran’s Press TV further escalated tensions by publishing an article last week identifying multiple US military bases in the Middle East as potential targets in the event of an attack.
