According to a reliable report, a majority of launch-ready missiles are located in underground facilities scattered across the Iranand are designed to withstand airstrikes.
Iran has allegedly readied missiles for a potential strike against US after Donald Trump's 'bombing' threat. These missiles are in ready-to-launch mode in underground facilities as Trump warns of military action. Also, Iran may be just weeks away from producing a deliverable nuclear weapon - though Tehran denies it is building such arms.
The report mentioned that the missiles are designed to withstand airstrikes. This comes after United States President Donald Trump issued a warning, saying that Iran will be bombed if it persists in developing nuclear weapons.
Trump has already said, "If they don't make a deal, there will be bombing." Since joining office in January, Trump has repeatedly stated that he would bomb Iran if the country does not completely dismantle its nuclear program and severe ties with the militant groups.
Iran may be just weeks away from producing a deliverable nuclear weapon - though Tehran denies it is building such arms. Either way, such an attack carries a risk of spreading to a wider conflict.
In 2018 the US, on Trump's orders, pulled out of an agreement to relieve sanctions on Iran in return for curbs on its nuclear program. In his second term, he has said he is open to talks on a new deal that could reduce the risk of military escalation.
Iranian president says that the Islamic Republic rejected direct negotiations with the US over its nuclear program, offering Tehran's first response to a letter that Trump sent to the country’s supreme leader.
President Masoud Pezeshkian said that Iran's response, delivered via the sultanate of Oman, left open the possibility of indirect negotiations with Washington. However, such talks have made no progress since Trump in his first term unilaterally withdrew the US from Tehran's nuclear deal.
"We don't avoid talks; it’s the breach of promises that has caused issues for us so far. They must prove that they can build trust," Pezeshkian said in televised remarks during a Cabinet meeting.
While responding to Pezeshkian, The US State Department said that "President Trump has been clear: the United States cannot allow Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon."
"The president expressed his willingness to discuss a deal with Iran. If the Iranian regime does not want a deal, the president is clear, it will pursue other options, which will be very bad for Iran," it added.
Iran's armed forces have allegedly readied missiles with the capability to strike "US-related positions" amid increased threats of military action from President Donald Trump.
Iran has allegedly "loaded all launchers" in its underground missile cities and a majority of these launch-ready missiles are located in underground facilities scattered across the country and are designed to withstand airstrikes.
Trump, since his return to office, has warned that he would bomb Iran if it does not dismantle its nuclear program, sever ties with Resistance groups, and limit its drone and missile capabilities. However, Iranian officials have refused direct negotiations, stressing they will decisively respond to any attack.
The US President warned Iran of attack stating that bombing the country remained an option if Tehran refused to agree to a nuclear deal. "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," Trump warned.
He also threatened to impose "secondary tariffs" on Iran, saying "There's a chance that if they don't make a deal, that will do secondary tariffs on them like done four years ago," he added. In a post on X: "Iran has unveiled perhaps its largest missile city ever that can destroy all US assets in the region. The new underground missile base houses thousands of precision-guided missiles such as Kheibar Shekan, Haj Qasem, Ghadr-H, Sejjil, Emad and others."
Amid mounting pressure to dismantle its nuclear programme, Iran rejected the possibility of direct negotiations with the US but kept the option of indirect talks open.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian took a measured stance, In a televised address, said: "We don’t avoid talks; it’s the breach of promises that has caused issues for us so far." He further said that US must prove that they can "build trust".
Reacting to Iran’s response, Washington reiterated that the Trump administration was firm in its stance against the Tehran's nuclear program, and that it "cannot allow Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon."
Trump, during his first term, pulled the US out of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) deal with Iran. The US-Iran relations further deteriorated following the killing of General Qassem Soleimani in a Baghdad drone strike in January 2020.
Earlier, Trump sent a letter to the Iranian supreme leader which was seen as an attempt to jumpstart talks over Tehran's nuclear program. Trump's letter was handed to Iranian officials by Anwar Gargash, a senior Emirati diplomat, while he visited Tehran on March 12, 2025. Trump has sought to launch talks on Tehran's rapidly advancing nuclear program.
President Donald J. Trump signed a National Security Presidential Memorandum (NSPM) restoring maximum pressure on the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran, denying Iran all paths to a nuclear weapon, and countering Iran’s malign influence abroad.
The NSPM directs the Secretary of the Treasury to impose maximum economic pressure on the Government of Iran, including by sanctioning or imposing enforcement mechanisms on those acting in violation of existing sanctions.
The previous Administration’s tolerance of Iran’s threats to American citizens and companies ends now.
The Attorney General will pursue all available legal steps to investigate, disrupt, and prosecute financial and logistical networks, operatives, or front groups inside the United States that are sponsored by Iran or an Iranian terror proxy.
The Attorney General will prosecute leaders and members of Iranian-funded terrorist groups that have captured, harmed, or killed American citizens and seek their arrest and extradition to the United States.
NSPM fulfils the President’s 2020 vow to contend with Iran’s pernicious influence across the globe:
“For far too long — all the way back to 1979, to be exact — nations have tolerated Iran’s destructive and destabilizing behavior in the Middle East and beyond. Those days are over. Iran has been the leading sponsor of terrorism, and their pursuit of nuclear weapons threatens the civilized world. We will never let that happen.”
