BEIJING (AP) - A Chinese geopolitical expert said, referring to the threats from the United States and the Zionist regime against Iran: Iran must show its ability to retaliate and its deterrence power.

Iran Press/Asia: Niu Xinchun, executive director of the Ningxia University Research Institute in China, said: Iran's message is clear. Iran has the necessary ability to confront any threat, and if Israel or the United States take action, Iran will respond with force.

The Chinese university professor said that Iran's missile bases are the largest and most diverse missile system in the Middle East and can target Israeli and American positions at any point.

Niu Xinchun described Iran's move to unveil a new underground missile base as a demonstration of Iran's deterrent power and said: This is Iran's response to any potential threat from Israel and the United States.

Referring to the Israeli claim that it had hit Iran's defense and missile systems and also the weakening of the axis of resistance, the executive director of the Ningxia University Research Institute said: Iran's recent move showed that the Israeli claim is not true and that Iran still maintains its military capabilities and formidable missile power.

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has recently unveiled a new underground missile base.

This base houses advanced Iranian missiles, including the "Imad, Qadr, and Qiyam," all of which are liquid-fueled. This underground base is one of hundreds of such bases belonging to the IRGC's Aerospace Force.

In the images released from this base, missiles that were used in Iran's second retaliatory military operation against Israel in October last year can be seen.
