Explosion Rocks Iranian City Near Underground Missile Site

A suspected explosion shook the Iranian city of Khorramabad on Monday night, with some reports suggesting the blast resulted from a sabotage operation targeting a nearby underground missile site.

The Imam Ali base, located 35 kilometers (114829.4 feet) (22 miles) from Khorramabad, is where Iran produces and stores “Shahab-3” ballistic missiles, variants of which have ranges long enough to strike Israel.
