Argentina for one.North Korea and the Mexican drug cartel have proven over the years that building underground facilities and tunnels are possible without detection. There are a multitude of problems in doing it when someone is watching but the area to watch is immense and heck we couldn't even find scuds in an active war!
Still they are no direct threat to the US. It does signify that the Iranians are pursuing nuclear warheads because having underground missile silos make no sense unless they are nuclear. Why protect non-nuclear missiles with high cost silo's? So in effect the Iranians have declared that they are seeking nuclear warheads.
Whether they declare it or not we all know what their intentions are, I don't know of any countries that have nuclear power but don't have the bomb.
Iran Underground Missile Silos Unveiled
TEHRAN, Iran Iran on Monday unveiled underground missile silos for the first time as it kicked off 10 days of large-scale war games, the country's latest show of military force amid a standoff with the West over its disputed nuclear program.
State TV broadcast footage of deep underground silos, claiming that medium- and long-range missiles stored in them are ready to launch in case of an attack on Iran. The sites are widely viewed as a strategic asset for Iran to launch a strike in the event of a U.S. or Israeli attack on its nuclear facilities.
Col. Asghar Qelichkhani, a spokesman for the war games, said the silos "function as a swift-reaction unit."
"Missiles, which are permanently in the vertical position, are ready to hit the pre-determined targets," he was quoted as saying by state TV.
An officer in Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guard, which is in charge of the missile program, said Tehran has constructed "numerous" underground missile silos which satellites can't detect. He did not elaborate.
The state television report broadcast footage of underground launching pads for the Shahab-3 missile, which have a range of more than 1,240 miles (2,000 kilometers)_ putting Israel, U.S. bases in the Gulf region and parts of southeastern and eastern Europe within reach.
The report also showed pictures of missiles being fired from one silo after a large metal roof opened to allow the missile to launch. The TV report said the missile silos are linked to a missile control center.
Another unidentified Guards officer told state TV that "only few countries in the world possess the technology to construct underground missile silos. The technology required for that is no less complicated than building the missile itself."
Israel has accused Iran of receiving assistance from North Korea in building underground missile sites.

Germany, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Canada, Argentina, Belgium, Australia to name just a few. Nuclear power does not automatically equate nuclear weapons.
Good it will bring some balance of power in the Middle East.

Omg not a missile silo!
