Did Trump Cabinet Members Buy Bunkers During the Iran Conflict? Housing company claims surge

Ron HubbardThe founder of Atlas Survival Shelter says there has been a surge in inquiries about his company’s bunkers since the US and Israeli attacks on Iran. The conflict has entered its second week amid concerns about potential missile or drone threats.

Hubbard told The Telegraph that interest in the refuge had increased “tenfold” since the war began. The Texas-based company makes bunkers designed to withstand a range of dangers, including missile attacks, drones and even nuclear radiation.

Shelters vary widely in size and price. Some are prefabricated units that cost about $20,000, while larger underground facilities can cost up to $5 million. Hubbard estimated that Atlas’ monthly sales, which typically take about $2 million, could climb to $50 million next month if current demand continues.

“Building a bunker is like being a farmer,” Hubbard told The Telegraph. “When it’s harvest time, harvest as much as you can.”

“One of them texted me yesterday and asked, ‘When will my bunker be ready?'” Hubbard said.

He added that many of his clients are wealthy business leaders, describing them as “Christian, conservative CEOs.” Hubbard joins President Trump’s executive meeting Mar-a-Lago Resort Last year, the company’s clients included billionaires and technology industry leaders.

One of the few publicly identified clients is Mark Zuckerberg, for whom Atlas previously designed an underground bunker at his Hawaiian ranch.

Global crises have repeatedly boosted fuel demand. COVID-19 has also triggered a surge in orders as people look for ways to isolate from potential threats.

The trend reportedly extends beyond the United States. In Israel, many residents often hide underground during Iranian missile and drone attacks. Atlas also received fuel orders from wealthy customers in Dubai following strikes in the Middle East.
