The Tehran city government has launched a wartime shelter construction plan, including the renovation of underground parking lots into dual-purpose spaces for "peacetime parking, wartime sheltering."
On the 29th, Iran's Mehr News Agency quoted Tehran Mayor Zakani as saying that in the aftermath of the "12-day war" between Iran and Israel, the construction of shelters, establishment of air raid alarms, and the protection of civilians in the event of possible warfare have been incorporated into urban development plans. This includes converting underground parking lots into shelters in emergencies. Two pilot locations have been identified so far, with plans for gradual rollout in all communities.
Zakani stated that in addition to new facilities, some existing facilities and subway lines could also serve as temporary shelters in emergencies, with relevant contingency plans and preparations already underway. However, the construction period for such infrastructure is relatively long and will need gradual improvement.
On the 29th, U.S. Secretary of War Hagseth stated that the Pentagon will be prepared to meet President Trump's directives regarding Iran. He said Iran could choose to reach an agreement with the United States and should not seek nuclear capabilities.
An anonymous U.S. official revealed to AFP the previous day that the U.S. has deployed 10 warships in the Middle East. According to the official, in addition to the USS Lincoln aircraft carrier and three accompanying destroyers, the U.S. also has another three destroyers and three littoral combat ships in the region.
