My understanding is this:

If a nation wants war, they won't display their means and weaponry because they want to create a rather nasty suprise.

If a nation doesn't want war, they will talk about their might and display their weaponry, hoping that the display of weaponry is more powerful than the weapons themselves.

You should perhaps not connect everything going on in the world with this revelation.

Re: MOP

"...7.9 m of 10,000 psi (69 MPa) reinforced concrete..."
Would this be within the indigenous technological capabilities of Iran and what kind of price tag are we talking about, say >>8m thick per square meter?

The MOP is likely to compromise such missile silos , but you can only deliver such weapon in context of an all out war with Iran.

and most capable nations who dont want war, display some of their weaponary for detterence, but they keep some other of their weapons, secret, to surprise their enemies in the case of war.

Parthenon,

IMO those silo doors aren't anywhere near that thick and looks to be a mere fraction of that so I don't think the silo they showed off would survive a hit from the MOP and possibly not even survive a hit from the smaller GBU-28.

We already know has the ability to reinforce buildings to withstand at least the GBU-28 (the previously most powerful conventional US bunker buster) as since in the construction of the Natanz facility.

However whether Iran's missile silos are strong enough to withstand either weapons, I don't know but IMO the silo they showed in the video wouldn't withstand either one.

Catsoo,

Except I believe the US and Israel have long thought Iran may have missile silos and likely planned accordingly, so this is likely only a surprise to the media not the military planners in either country. Therefore this public showing of them likely only confirms their suspicons they existed.
