Iran has reopened access to 50 of 69 underground missile tunnel entrances targeted by US and Israeli strikes, according to satellite imagery analyzed by CNN. Despite weeks of bombing aimed at limiting Iran's missile capabilities, much of its arsenal stored deep underground remains intact. US officials, including Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, have warned that military action could resume if a ceasefire deal is not finalized. Iran's restoration efforts highlight challenges in disabling missile stockpiles buried beneath layers of rock and earth.
