September 22, 2017 (Persian calendar 1396/6/31) Iran has released footage of the successful test-launch of its new ballistic missile, Khorramshahr خرمشهر, a few hours after it was unveiled during a military parade in the capital city of Tehran. Video footage aired by the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) on Friday showed the missile launched from an unknown location. The video also contained telemetry camera footage from four different angles which, according to its caption, showed the moment when the warhead of the missile was discharged. Earlier on Friday morning, the missile was unveiled during a military parade in Tehran attended by Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and senior military officials. The ballistic missile, which is Iran’s third type of missile with a range of 2,000 kilometers (1,243 miles) along with the Qadr-F قدر اف and Sejjil سجيل ballistic missiles, is capable of carrying 1,800 kg (3,968 pounds) multiple warheads. According to Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh سرتيپ اميرعلي حاجي زاده, a senior commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Force, the Khorramshahr missile has become smaller in size and more tactical and it will be operational in the near future.
