Inside Qeshm, Iran’s underground missile fortress and geological marvel | US-Israel war on Iran

Qeshm Island, Iran's largest island in the Strait of Hormuz, has become a strategic focal point in the US-Israel war on Iran. The island's vast size allows it to physically dominate the strait entrance and houses Iran's "missile cities," designed to control shipping traffic through the vital energy transit passage. The island's modern industrial facade is overshadowed by its role as an "unsinkable aircraft carrier" for Iran's naval power, with analysts estimating a large number of Iranian fast-attack boats and coastal batteries hidden within its subterranean labyrinths.
