[0:25-1:23] Almas-series ATGMs can be seen in the midground on the left, with their respective launch tubes on the right. The CLUs are not visible. In the background, a batch of unidentified tubes can also be seen. • @GEOIMINT •

[0:05-0:24] An industrial planetary mixer for solid fuel can be seen in the background. Its relatively small size suggests it is more likely intended for smaller rocket systems, although SRBM production cannot be ruled out. • @GEOIMINT •

[0:00-0:04] A gas tank labeled “Ar” can be seen here, likely referring to argon, an inert gas commonly used in metalworking and industrial manufacturing processes, including the fabrication and welding of components used in various systems. • @GEOIMINT •

🧵 On August 22, 2026, Iran's Minister of Defense and the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces visited one of Iran's underground missile and defensive weapons production sites. This thread will focus on interesting points of the press release. • @GEOIMINT •

High-resolution imagery of the new facility via @vantortech dated August 14, 2026 suggests it is likely an underground production facility, based on its layout and structures. • @GEOIMINT •

I refer to it as an underground facility as its exact purpose cannot be confirmed. It could be an underground missile facility, ammunition depot, production facility, or another type of site. What is confirmed, however, is that it belongs to the IRGC. • @GEOIMINT •

The current commander of Iran’s IRGC Navy, Ali Ozmaei, is an Afro-Iranian. Afro-Iranians have been present in Iran since as early as the 16th century. This is nothing unusual. https://x.com/ubersoy1/status/2089222382477029627?s=46

It seems that the latest documentary released by IRGC-affiliated media is for the most part just a dump of archival footage that has been censored or manipulated in some way to make it appear new. View images for clarification:

Note that this is the exact same TEL shown in the press release (see quoted post below) that preceded the documentary. https://t.me/GEOIMINT/191

A Sayyad-2/3 SAM TEL is visible in the background of an underground facility in the latest documentary released by IRGC-affiliated media.
