Iranian ballistic missiles deterrent, Tehran

Bold line-up of landmark Iranian ballistic missiles, key pieces of the Iranian military defense doctrine, at Tehran's Islamic Revolution and Holy Defense museum.

 

Since Islam forbids indiscriminate weapons of mass destruction (e.g. nuclear, chemical or biological weapons), Iran has placed great efforts in developing missile capacities, as an effective strategy of asymmetric warfare to keep large invading powers and their local satraps/mercenaries from attacking the country despite their overwhelmingly superior military budgets.

 

The smallest of these missiles, the Fateh 110 and Qiam 1, were the ones used by Iran to attack two US military bases in Iraq in 2020 in retaliation for the assassination of general Qassem Soleimani and were used extensively to wipe out ISIS and Al-Qaeda from most of Syria and Iraq.
