Iran's Missile: Amidst internal instability and external pressure in Iran, the government has fully activated the security agencies.

Iran's Top 5 Missiles

Iran's Missile: Iran is currently facing its most critical period. There are widespread protests within the country, reports of discontent within the security forces are emerging, and pressure on the regime is steadily increasing. Meanwhile, Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has taken a major and surprising step. He has assigned the responsibility of carrying out strict enforcement actions within the country to the notorious Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

In addition, Iran has fully activated its mysterious underground "Missile City." This is being seen not only as a preparation to deal with internal situations, but also as a sign of external conflict. So let's find out which dangerous missiles Iran possesses. 

What is Iran's 'Missile City'?

The Missile City is considered the most dangerous face of Iran's military power. These underground bases are located beneath mountains, from where ballistic and hypersonic missiles can be launched at any time. Activating these bases is being seen as more than just a military exercise, but an open warning against the tense situation in 2026. The US, Israel, and other Middle Eastern countries are calling it a show of power by Iran.

Khorramshahr-4: The most dangerous missile

According to a BBC report, the Khorramshahr-4 is considered one of Iran's deadliest ballistic missiles. Its range is said to exceed 2,000 kilometers, and it flies at hypersonic speeds. Its greatest strength lies in its heavy warhead, which can weigh up to 1,500 kilograms. It was successfully tested in 2025. According to military experts, this missile can target any part of Israel.

Fateh-2: Hypersonic speed

The Fateh-2 is said to be Iran's first hypersonic missile. Its speed is reported to be up to Mach 15, meaning extremely fast. Its range is approximately 1,400 kilometers. Its speed is so high that it is considered extremely difficult to intercept by existing missile defense systems. After its successful test launch in 2024, it has now been deployed in the missile city.

Sajil-2: Launch in two minutes

The Sajjil-2 is a two-stage, solid-fuel ballistic missile with a range of approximately 2,500 kilometers. Launch time is just two minutes, leaving the enemy virtually no time to react. This missile is easy to conceal and is considered highly accurate. It is a key component of Iran's strategic capabilities.

Shahab-3: Old but reliable

The Shahab-3 is one of Iran's oldest missiles, but it is still considered highly reliable. It has a range of between 1,300 and 2,000 kilometers and is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. Deployed in the 1990s, the missile has been periodically upgraded and remains the backbone of Iran's long-range strike capability.

Zulfiqar: Shorter distance, more accurate

The Zulfiqar is a short-range ballistic missile with a range of approximately 700 kilometers. Its greatest strength is its remarkable accuracy. It can be fired from a mobile launcher and has been specifically designed to target Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and US bases in the region.
