Iran and Missiles - Bigger and Farther
[Ha'aretz] Ze'ev Schiff - Iran has recently achieved significant advances in surface-to-surface missile technologies. In addition to the Shehab-type missiles, which use liquid fuel, Tehran is rapidly developing a new solid-state fuel ballistic missile with a range of approximately 2,000 kilometers. It is also known that Iran acquired 18 BM25 missiles from North Korea that are believed to have a range of 2,500 kilometers or more. Most Iranian missiles are aimed against Israel, but also against targets in the Persian Gulf, including Saudi Arabia, and westward, toward Turkey and beyond.
