Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has unveiled a new underground naval drone base, referred to as an 'underground drone city,' equipped with over 1,000 drones for naval operations. The base was opened in the presence of IRGC Commander-in-Chief Hossein Salami.

Footage released by the IRGC Aerospace Forces and Fars News Agency shows Iranian surveillance drones closely monitoring U.S. Navy vessels, including the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70), as well as aircraft such as F/A-18E/F Super Hornets, EA-18G Growlers, and E-2D Advanced Hawkeyes in the Persian Gulf.

Iranian officials stated that the base houses both advanced combat and reconnaissance drones, including reconnaissance drones from American origin, and that some of these drones are actively tracking American planes, helicopters, and ships in the region. The IRGC emphasized the base's role in protecting the Persian Gulf, which it described as Iran's home.

Images and videos of the underground drone base and its monitoring activities have been released publicly for the first time, highlighting the IRGC's enhanced surveillance capabilities in regional waters.
