What ballistic missiles does Iran have in its arsenal?

The Islamic Republic of Iran is once again firing ballistic missiles at Israel — more than 380 of them and counting.

Even with Israel’s campaign against Iran’s missiles and launchers, Iran is home to the largest ballistic missile arsenal in the Middle East. This arsenal is composed of close-range, short-range, and medium-range systems and both solid- and liquid-propellant systems. These projectiles are dispersed across above and below ground missile depots and bases across the country.

Ballistic missiles play an outsized role in Iranian security strategy, offering the regime the ability to deter and coerce adversaries. For years, Iran has been working to increase the lethality, survivability, mobility, precision, and range of these projectiles, which Tehran continues to test, transfer, and use in military operations against state and non-state actors alike directly from Iranian territory. U.S. intelligence has previously assessed that a ballistic missile would be the most likely delivery vehicle for an Iranian nuclear weapon, whereas the Islamic Republic’s space program affords it the ability to develop longer-range platforms that could it could use to target Europe or the American homeland.
