Iran's Ballistic Missile Program

(Institute for National Security Studies-Tel Aviv University) Azriel Bermant and Emily B. Landau - Over the past eight months of negotiations between Iran and the P5+1, Tehran's ballistic missile program has been mainly relegated to the sidelines. Although several months ago there were indications that the U.S. might include the issue in a final deal, Iran has insisted that it will not countenance discussing the missile program. Iran already has operational missiles with ranges of 1500 to 2500 km. that can reach the Middle East, Turkey, and Southeast Europe. It has been working on an extended range version of the Shahab-3 and a 2000 km. medium-range missile, the Sejjil-2, and may soon be able to produce missiles with a range of 3000 km.
