The one minute footage showed senior Iranian officials inspecting a long line of mobile, nuclear-capable missiles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-el-text standard-body-el-text\"><u><a class=\"body-el-link standard-body-el-link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.popularmechanics.com\/military\/weapons\/news\/a17759\/irans-got-a-new-ballistic-missile\/\">First tested in October<\/a><\/u>, the Emad (&#8220;Pillar&#8221;) is designed to evade missile defenses. It&#8217;s also supposed to be much more accurate than previous Iranian missiles. Emad is an improvement of the <a class=\"body-el-link standard-body-el-link\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Shahab-3\"><u>Shahab-3 missile<\/u><\/a>, which is based on a North Korean design.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad-gpt-breaker-container\">\u00a0The video shows a line of Transporter Erector Launcher (TEL) trucks equipped with missiles in an underground facility. North Korea, which has a great deal of tunneling and underground building experience, is suspected of having transferred tunneling technology to Iran in the 1990s.<\/div>\n<p class=\"body-el-text standard-body-el-text\">The TELs appear to be based on imported commercial semi trucks and bear a strong resemblance to Mercedes Benz trucks. The grill of each missile truck appears modified differently, possibly to break up the profile and prevent identification. The erector and launcher appear to be locally made.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-el-text standard-body-el-text\">At least six missiles are visible in the video but only three have canards\u2014small fins\u2014on the nose cones typical of the Emad. The canards are used for maneuvering during the terminal phase, as the warhead descends at high speed toward its target. The other missiles appear to be Shahab-3s.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-el-text standard-body-el-text\">It is not known how many Emad missiles Iran has, but <a class=\"body-el-link standard-body-el-link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-iran-usa-missiles-idUSKBN0UJ1CB20160105\"><u>Reuters quotes<\/u><\/a> the second-in-command of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards as saying the country&#8217;s underground facilities are so full &#8220;that they do not know how to store their new missiles.&#8221; Given that the video shows only three Emad missiles, that appears unlikely.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-el-text standard-body-el-text\">The U.S. views the development of the Emad as a violation of <a class=\"body-el-link standard-body-el-link\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/United_Nations_Security_Council_Resolution_1929\"><u>UN Security Council Resolution 1929<\/u><\/a>, adopted in June 2010, that prohibits Iran from pursuing ballistic missile development and production. According to Reuters, Washington will likely hit Iran with fresh economic sanctions as a result.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-el-text standard-body-el-text\">Read the Original Article at<strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.popularmechanics.com\/military\/weapons\/news\/a18864\/iran-unveils-second-underground-missile-base\/\">Popular Mechanics<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"embed embed--center embed--youtube embed--lazy-iframe embed--loaded\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well it seems that &#8220;Nuclear Agreement&#8221; that BHO and Kerry spearheaded was &#8220;much ado about nothing&#8221; after all&#8230;Iran was just stalling so they could get their Nuclear Tech underground and away from Israeli bombers.
