Iran's Eagle 44 Underground Airbase Presents Strategic Challenge for US Military

Iran's Eagle 44 (Oghab 44) is an underground airbase carved into the Zagros Mountains, designed to protect fighter jets and military assets from conventional US strikes. Featuring fuel depots, command centers, and tunnels for aircraft movement, it is shielded by granite and reinforced concrete, making standard missiles ineffective. US intelligence views this facility as a strategic challenge, prompting considerations of using advanced weapons like the B-2 bomber to target it.
