The Israeli intelligence company ImageSat reported on Dec. 10 that the tunnel is being used to store missiles and long-range weapons and is located at Imam Ali Air Force Base.
The tunnel is estimated to be approximately 121 meters long, 4.5 meters wide and 4 meters deep.
Construction of the underground base and border crossing will allow Iranians to transfer equipment, weapons, and fighters easily across the Iraq-Syria border, the report said.
Meanwhile, France, Germany and the United Kingdom said last week that Iran has developed nuclear-capable ballistic missiles, a violation of the UN Security Council’s call on Teheran not to undertake any activity related to such missiles, The Associated Press reported.
In a letter to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, the ambassadors from the three European nations urged the council to acknowledge in its next report that Iran’s ballistic missile activity is “inconsistent” with the call in a council resolution endorsing the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran.
The letter cited four examples of Iranian nuclear-capable missiles, according to AP.
