Iranian long-range ballistic missile

Shahab-5 (Persian: شهاب ۵, meaning "Meteor-5") is an Iranian long-range ballistic missile, that was rumoured to exist as early as 1998. It is thought to be based upon the North Korean Taepodong-2, with a first stage based upon the Soviet RD-0216. The potential range of the missile is estimated to be between 4,000 and 4,300 km, with a warhead payload of 700 to 1,000 kg.
