Iran tests Kheiber missile

May 26, 2023

Iran recently unveiled the latest iteration of its liquid-fuelled Khorramshahr ballistic missile amid wider tensions with the West over its nuclear program.
The Khorramshahr-4 is named after an Iranian city that was the scene of heavy fighting during the Iran-Iraq War in the 1980s.
It is a surface to surface ballistic missile developed by Aerospace Industries Organisation under Iranian Defence Ministry.
The missile also is called Kheibar, after a Jewish fortress conquered by the Muslims in the 7th century — in what is now Saudi Arabia.
The missile has a 2,000-kilometre range with a 1,500-kilogram warhead.
It could be prepared for launch in a short period.
It is modeled after North Korea’s Musudan ballistic missile.
