Have any of these alleged underground bases been targeted?

Because, you know, it takes deliberate targeting of military assets in the presence of civilians to even bring up human shields as a topic.

All I see is Iran targeting exclusively civilian areas with no military assets present there, and then some schmuck bringing up human shields as an excuse for something completely nonsensical.
