Zolfaghar (missile)

type of SRBM

The Zolfaghar missile is an Iranian road-mobile, single-stage, solid-propelled short-range ballistic missile. The Zolfaghar missile is part of the Fateh-110 SRBM family and is possibly derived from the Fateh-313 missile in particular. It was unveiled in 2016 and entered service in 2017. It was first used in the 2017 Deir ez-Zor missile strike and was therefore the first ballistic missile fired by Iran in anger in 30 years. It is named after Zulfiqar, the sword of Ali ibn Abi Talib.
