Iran launches underground ballistic missiles during exercise

Iran launches underground ballistic missiles during exerciseIran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard launched underground ballistic missiles Wednesday as part of an exercise involving a mock-up American aircraft carrier in the Strait of Hormuz, highlighting its network of subterranean missile sites.
