Creating secret underground nuclear bunkers. Developing advanced
missile sites. These are Iran’s latest projects, in Syria.

Work on the underground site allegedly began in 2009 in the town of Qusayr,
tucked along the Lebanon-Syria border. With the aid of international backers,
the facility has developed slowly in secrecy.
Israel destroyed Syria’s last nuclear facility in 2007
The new facility appears to be modeled much like Iran’s—underground,
shielded from airstrikes, and away from prying eyes.
-January 13, 2015 Iranian Revolutionary Guard commanders openly bragged
about Iran’s recent missile development programs in Syria

An Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commander stated,
the country’s Supreme Leader ordered forces to build and operate
missile plants in Syria, where Iran continues to fight on behalf of
embattled leader Bashar al-Assad, according to regional media reports.
-The IRGC Aerospace commander stressed that Iran supports the Syrian
resistance and added "A country such as Syria which used to sell us arms,
was to later on to buy our missiles.
Syrian missile-making firms made by Iran: commander
-The missile factories are testimony not just to Iran’s commitment to aid Assad,
but also to Iran’s desire to be more involved in Syria.
Syria is crucial in Iran’s plan for regional domination.
The nation plays a vital link in Iran’s Shia Crescent in the Middle East.
It connects Iran to its terrorist ally Hezbollah in Southern Lebanon.
It also sits directly on Israel’s doorstep, which is another cause for concern.
Combine Iran’s advanced intercontinental ballistic missile (icbm) technology now being
developed in Syria with the news that Assad now has a new nuclear facility.
It doesn’t take much to envision a nuclear-armed Assad—or Iran—right on Israel’s doorstep.
From Iran’s border to the coast of the Mediterranean Sea is around 500 miles.
That is 500 miles closer to Israel, and also 500 miles closer to Europe.
Iran has already developed icbms capable of threatening European cities,
but by manufacturing in Syria, Iran quickly tacks on 500 miles to its range.
response to the report of Iran’s involvement in Syria’s nuclear facility
and its weapons program has been minimal, when asked by reporters if
American diplomats would question Iran on the facility in the next round of talks,
State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said that no mention would be made.
-EU agency responsible for analyzing defense and security issues.
In May, it published a report titled,“Enabling the future—European military capabilities 2013-2025:
#Risk/threat: An unpredictable but increasingly powerful regime in the wider Middle East conducts its first atomic test.
A year later, the regime demonstrates that it has a working and deliverable nuclear capability to a range of 2,500 km: European territory could be directly threatened.
The regime, feeling safe under its newfound atomic umbrella, becomes increasingly aggressive, harrying commercial vessels in the Gulf and supporting terrorist jihadi organizations throughout the Levant.
The situation escalates when the country mounts incursions into a smaller pro-Western neighbor, whose freedom is deemed critical for the security of world energy supply.
Response: Given the severity of the situation and the potential number of actors implicated, any response would likely be international in character. Europeans, however, would be expected to provide a substantial force component for large-scale expeditionary warfare, which would need to be backed up with tactical and strategic ballistic missile defenses.
Scenario five sees Islamist jihadists take control of the Suez Canal. Such an event could force the Europeans to launch an “extended” mission “to protect one of their most precious pieces of overseas infrastructure,” it states. According to EU strategists, the Suez already belongs to them.
The report argued that the EU needs to be willing and able to defend “zones of EU privileged interests”—areas around the EU such as the Mediterranean Sea or Indo-Pacific region.
