The Hebrew-language website "Nziv" reported on Friday that Iran has requested military assistance from Russia, China, and Pakistan to bolster its arsenal. It has also begun fortifying its ballistic missile launch platforms to protect against potential American or Israeli attacks.
According to sources cited by the site, Iran has initiated measures to safeguard its ballistic missiles in the eastern region of the country. These include deepening underground bunkers and establishing so-called "missile cities" equipped with advanced defense systems designed to withstand bunker-busting bombs.
The site, which claims ties to security sources in Tel Aviv, stated that Tehran is deploying ballistic and cruise missiles across the country, most of which are stored in fortified underground capsules to ensure readiness and precision.
Iran is also reportedly developing a "missile farm" strategy, where no surface indicators are visible, and missiles are launched vertically from protected depths.
The report noted that Iran relies on Russia and China for advanced weaponry and defensive support while also leveraging its own accumulated domestic expertise.
According to Israeli assessments, this move sends a dual message: domestically, it signals to the Iranian public that the country is prepared for any escalation; externally, it asserts that "Tehran will not be an easy target."
A few days earlier, Israeli security sources revealed that Iran had relocated its ballistic missiles eastward, fearing a sudden military confrontation with Israel.
