Mike Waltz the US Envoy to the UN said:
that the US will “create alternatives to our [military] basing posture” in the Middle East by “hardening some” and possibly moving others underground. “So this leverage that Iran thinks it has now is diminishing faster and faster, literally every week as we speak,”
This is a huge admission. He tries to frame is as strength but Iran has actually made it impossible for the US to use its bases. They’re being forced to start moving underground and it’s going to cost them a ton of money. This also shows that the US has no intention of holding up its end of the MoU.
Pentagon official says that each branch of the US military will get their own super secret base that nobody will be allowed to shoot back at. They say they will be consulting military contractors from the 1980’s who were responsible for such highly successful projects as GI Joe HQ, Thunderbird 5, and Castle Grayskull
Waiting for those underground runways.
Doctrine of underground aerial supremacy
Iran actually has 1 or 2 airbases “underground”: the hangars & taxiways are situated inside mountain tunnels leading directly to a runway. There’s cool footage of their F-4s parked in them & discussion of how basing Su-35s in a couple such centrally located mountain bases would go a long way towards denying hostile overflights.
Normal targeting of an airfield usually involves hitting aircraft parking spots & the intersections between taxiways & runways–the runway itself is very easy to repair, to such an extent that munitions specifically designed to attack airfields usually also scatter mines so the enemy can’t simply drive a bulldozer up to the pothole you created & just fill it back in.
300 million dollar for a hardened bunker that’s the equivalent of a parking garage with mold.
I am sure military contractors will get this done in record time and well under budget!
“So this leverage that Iran thinks it has now is diminishing faster and faster, literally every week as we speak”
You can just move a whole military base underground in weeks?
Can someone who knows more than I do explain why the military plan of “bomb active construction sites on the bases you’re at war with” isn’t a viable strategy for Iran here? I’m sure it shouldn’t be because there would be no reason to even pretend to implement a plan that stupid.
You can hire no bid contractors who will tell you it can be done in weeks at exorbitant cost, even though it definitely can’t though and that’s basically the same thing
Funniest thing they could do is hire the Saudi Binladin Group.

Old news. Americans have been flying their planes into the ground for generations already.
