'Iran lawmaker proposes underground 'governance cities' to protect officials'

 

An Iranian lawmaker has proposed building underground "governance cities" inside mountains to protect provincial officials from assassination during the ongoing conflict.

"Given the wartime conditions prevailing in the country, which will continue, we need to build governance cities across the provinces, particularly in provincial capitals," Tehran lawmaker Ali Khezarian said.

He said the facilities would allow government officials and administrators to be moved underground and "into the heart of mountains" to protect them from assassination during attacks on Iran.
