Iran: the missiles that Tehran did not use and which are in its arsenal

Iran's retaliation after Israel's attack on the Iranian diplomatic area in Damascus, which caused the death of senior Iranian officials, fortunately ended well, with no losses and with 99% of the drones destroyed.

The action ended well, without deaths or injuries or significant damage. It can be considered a major coordinated military exercise for Israel, USA, UK, France and Jordan courtesy of Iran.

However, this happened because Iran wanted to carry out an action that was, all things considered, measured with offensive weapons, but easily interceptable by those who have a serious air defense, like Israel, and moreover supported by allies on the road, like Jordan , and coordinated by those who have a general vision of the battlefield, such as the USA.

Over the years, Iran has developed a large arsenal of ballistic weapons, some such as the Khorramshar missiles, capable of reaching hypersonic speeds and launchable from mobile bases that are difficult to intercept. These weapons would have been much more lethal and difficult to intercept.

Consider that there are 1700 km between the Iranian and Israeli borders, so only medium-range missiles are to be considered.

Here, from Iran Watch , is a complete table of Iranian ballistic weapons. SRBM are short-range ballistic missiles, MRBM are medium-range, LACM are cruise missiles, SLV are satellite launchers.
