Khorramshahr

The Khorramshahr is an Iranian liquid-fueled medium-range ballistic missile or intermediate-range ballistic missile that was first tested in January 2017. It can carry a 1,800 kg warhead, is 13 m in length, and is named after the city of Khorramshahr. The missile's range is disputed. Iranian state media reports a range of up to 2,000 km. Western sources report that the range is or could be more than 2,000 km, possibly 2,500 or 3,000 km. These longer ranges would classify it as an intermediate-range ballistic missile. The missile has three known variants (Khorramshahr-1, Khorramshahr-2, and Khorramshahr-4), each possibly with their own specifications.
