In a significant development, Iran is constructing a 'defensive tunnel' in the capital city of Tehran. This comes in the wake of recent Israeli strikes on Iranian soil, as reported by the semi-official Tasnim news agency.

The tunnel is strategically located near the city center and is set to connect a Tehran metro station directly to the Imam Khomeini hospital, providing crucial underground access to the medical facility.

This initiative marks the first instance of a tunnel being built in the country for defensive applications, following missile strikes by Israel on Iranian targets, in response to Iran's earlier attack on Israeli territory.
