They can hit objectives located about 2,000 kilometers away, while some of them are able to avoid the most advanced antimile defense systems.
Iran’s broad missile arsenal became the subject of discussions during his military confrontation with Israel, which was triggered on June 13.
During their retaliation attacks against the Israeli territory, the forces of the Persian nation used various missiles, including the Kheibar Shekan, Emad, Ghadr and Fattah-1, as well as for the first time they triggered the Kheibar, of multiple eyelets.
What is known about the most advanced Iranian missiles?
The Fattah-1 missile, presented by the bodies of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard (CGRI) in June 2023, is Iran’s first hypersonic missile. It stands out for its speed, precision and maneuverability, as well as its ability to avoid the most advanced antimile defense systems, including Israel’s iron dome. Fattaah-1 is capable of developing speeds between Mach 5 and Mach 15 (6,000 to 18,000 km/h), and has demonstrated a range of 1,400 kilometers.
Unlike traditional ballistic missiles, which follow a predictable arc, Fattaah-1 is able to adjust the course in flight, so it can plan and alter its trajectory within the atmosphere, which hinders its interception by antimile defense systems.
The Fattaah-1 propulsion system is based on solid fuel technology, which allows you to achieve rapid acceleration and great speed from the launch; It also contributes to its agility in the air that, combined with its hypersonic speed, makes the missile represent a threat to the most advanced anti -aircraft defense systems.
According to unconfirmed estimates, the weight of the eyelets ranges between 350 and 450 kilograms.
The Kheibar Shekan is a solid fuel ballistic missile that has a range of 1,450 kilometers and can fly at a speed of more than 4 macho (5,000 km/h). The weight of the eyelets is approximately between 500 and 600 kilograms, according to reports.
It was designed to carry out attacks against strategic facilities, such as critical infrastructures and military bases that are located in the depth of the enemy’s territory, collects TV press. It has a new design maneuverable eye and can be fully guided and controlled until the time of impact, which allows you to reduce the margin of error to 10 and 50 meters. It is reported that the EMAD can carry eyes of approximately 750 kilograms of weight.
According to the disseminated information, Kheibar Shekan can carry both conventional and unconventional eyelets.
It is a liquid fuel ballistic missile, with a range of between 1,700 and 2,000 kilometers, according to various sources. Its maximum speed is 7.2 Mach (8,900 km/h).
The Ghadr missile (QADR) has two stages, the first of which has liquid fuel and the second, solid fuel. Depending on its modification, the missile can have a range of between 1,350 and 1,950 km and is capable of reaching a speed of 9 macho (about 11,110 km/h).
The Ghadr measures between 15.86 and 16.58 meters and weighs between 15 and 17.5 tons. It can carry ojivas that weigh 750 kilograms.
It is a modification of Shahab-3. Thanks to the changes made in its design and guidance system, the probable circular error (CEP) of the Ghadr – a measure of the accuracy of a weapon – was reduced to between 100 and 300 meters.
The khorramshahr-4 missile (also known as ‘Kheibar’) is a ballistic missile with an operational range of 2,000 kilometers, capable of carrying several eyelets with a total load of about 1,500 kilograms. It is considered to carry the heaviest load of the entire Iranian arsenal.
The Khorramshahr-4 can move at a speed of up to 8 Mach (9,900 km/h) inside the atmosphere and up to 16 Mach (19,700 km/h) outside it. It is a precise missile, since its probable circular error is only between 10 and 30 meters.
It is reported that the weapon has greater precision thanks to the use of a satellite guide system. Due to the characteristics of the missile, for David’s Patriot or Honda air defense systems it is difficult to intercept it. From Iran’s aerospace force they assured that the missile is able to hit 80 objectives at the same time.
The bodies of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard (CGRI) announced that the missile was shot for the first time on June 23, 2025 to attack several objectives belonging to Israel. They indicated that modern tactics were used to increase the precision of missiles and guarantee the destruction of whites, without providing details about it.
Recently, Iran also presented the Qassem Basir ballistic missile that has a range of 1,200 kilometers.
This weapon, classified as Iran as ‘hypersonic’, is an improved version of the Haj Qassem ballistic missile, highlighted by a better maneuverability and a maximum speed of 5 Mach (6,200 km/h). According to Iranian defense minister, Aziz Nasirzadeh, the missile will be ‘immune’ to different air defense systems such as the Thaad and Patriot, American production, as well as those of Israel.
For now there are no official data about the use of the missile in fighting.
