History

In June 2025, during the Iran–Israel War, the missile base was struck and destroyed by numerous Israeli airstrikes. The airstrikes "collapsed the facilities' entry points and silo openings". [4] The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) confirmed "multiple missile storage buildings and vehicle tunnel entrances, which were likely used to store ballistic missiles and other related equipment" were damaged or destroyed. [5] In total, ten locations at the Kermanshah Underground Missile Facility were struck by Israeli missiles. [5] [6]
