V2 fixed site in France that was bombed by the RAF - it was supposed to be impregnable - destroyed by Lancs with a very large earthquake bomb
If you google the layout of the building, it is not dissimilar to the Iranian site ?

I mean, it looks cool. The whole "Ballistic Missiles on a Treadmill" thing is... yeah... it's cool.
But it is not practical at all. Not only it is static, but you have all these "launch bunkers" sitting next to each other, with two tubes per bunkers.
Better not have anything jamming the doors I guess. Or nothing managing to break through that pile of concrete, otherwise you would end up with a fiery chain-reaction.
And considering a scud depot going up looks like this:
I hope they thought through the whole back-blast stuff.

More than 3,000 US military personnel have arrived in the Red Sea aboard two warships as part of increased deployment after tanker seizures by Iran, the US Navy said Monday.
The US sailors and Marines entered the Red Sea on Sunday after transiting through the Suez Canal in a pre-announced deployment, the US Navy’s Fifth Fleet said in a statement.
They arrived on board the USS Bataan and USS Carter Hall warships, providing “greater flexibility and maritime capability” to the Fifth Fleet, the statement added.
