Overview of Iran's ballistic and cruise missile arsenal

Over the past three decades, Iran has developed an extensive arsenal of ballistic and cruise missiles to serve as a pillar of its military deterrence strategy. Short-range systems include the Shahab-1 and Fateh-110 with a 300 km range, alongside the Raad-500, Shahab-2, and Fateh-313 reaching 500 km. Medium-range missiles consist of the Quds-1 (600 km), Ya-Ali (700 km), Zolfaghar (700 km), and Qiam-1 (800 km). Longer-range systems feature the Qadr-380 and Shahab-3 (1,300 km), as well as the Kheibarshekan (1,450 km). More advanced systems like the Emad and Khorramshahr have a range of approximately 1,700 km. Long-range capabilities are represented by the Ghadr and Sejjil missiles (2,000 km) and the Soumar cruise missile, which is estimated to have a reach of up to 2,500 km. Geographic assessments indicate that these capabilities allow Iran to target areas across the Middle East, parts of Southeast Europe, Central Asia, and North Africa.
