On March 5, 2022, a video was uploaded to the IMA Media YouTube channel showcasing an IRGC underground UAV and missile base. In the video, senior IRGC commanders, including Commander-in-Chief Hossein Salami, are seen touring the base. An announcer who welcomed the IRGC commanders said: "Our blade is thirsty for blood... Our job is to sacrifice our lives, like Soleimani did." He also said that martyrdom is the "Iranians' habit." The video concluded with a simulation of the UAVs and missiles being launched from the underground base and hitting a target in the desert. According to the description, the IMA Media YouTube account is an "independent social media-based press office which reviews Iran's military strength and achievements."
