Iran has reopened tunnel entrances that were collapsed during earlier U.S. and Israeli strikes, according to CNN. The network stated that Iranian crews used bulldozers and dump trucks to clear roads and tunnel access points.

CNN reported that Iran is now positioned to resume missile launches toward Israel and other Middle East locations. A symbolic mockup of an Iranian missile was displayed in Tehran on April 27, 2026, amid a ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran. The report did not provide details on the number of restored sites or the timeline for any renewed operations.
