Iran's Hidden Missile Base: Qeshm Island's Underground War Machine Threatens Global Oil
•Qeshm Island, a tourist spot, secretly houses a vast underground network of missiles, drones, and fast-attack boats, making it Iran's strategic ground zero.
•Located near the Strait of Hormuz, Qeshm allows Iran to monitor global oil and gas supply routes, giving it significant geopolitical leverage.
•Fortified underground 'missile cities' on Qeshm are designed to withstand earthquakes and house advanced weaponry, including anti-ship and ballistic missiles.
•Control over the Strait of Hormuz enables Iran to disrupt global oil flow, potentially triggering economic shockwaves and pressuring adversaries like the US and Israel.
•Neutralizing Qeshm is a strategic challenge; direct attacks risk severe retaliation and full closure of the Strait, impacting global stability and economy.
