  • Responding to Iran's New Weapons and Naval Drills in the Gulf by Farzin Nadimi
    MENU Policy Analysis / PolicyWatch 3006 Responding to Iran's New Weapons and Naval Drills in the Gulf by Farzin Nadimi Aug 21, 2018 Also available in Arabic ABOUT THE AUTHORS Farzin Nadimi Farzin Nadimi, an associate fellow with The Washington Institute, is a Washington-based analyst specializing in the security and defense affairs of Iran and the Persian Gulf region. Brief Analysis Renewed naval exercises, missile tests, and other developments point to a broadening threat, but their muted nature indicates that Tehran is trying to avoid popular backlash at home. n August 2, the air and naval arms of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps began a substantial, O unannounced military drill in the Persian Gulf and strategic Strait of Hormuz. The move followed the latest round of threats and counter-threats between Iran and the United States regarding freedom of navigation through the strait, with Washington warning it will bring Iran’s oil exports to a virtual standstill as part of reimposed nuclear sanctions, and Tehran saying it would close the narrow waterway to all other oil shipments in retaliation. At the same time, the IRGC has tested or deployed new weapons systems that could broaden the range of threats it poses to military and civilian targets in the Gulf and beyond. FIRST MAJOR DRILL IN THREE YEARS W ith the exception of an IRGC Navy review of around 110 speedboats in August 2017, Iran had not conducted a large-scale naval exercise in the Gulf since March 2015. Unusually, it launched the latest drill without any of the traditional domestic publicity.

    Opération iranienne contre les bases d’el-Asad et Erbil : qu’enseigne l’imagerie ? Seconde partie 12 février 2020 Agnès LEVALLOIS (FRS), Vincent TOURRET (FRS) et Stéphane DELORY (FRS) en partenariat avec Géo4I La question de l’identification précise des missiles n’a, curieusement, pas réellement retenu l’attention des observateurs. Très rapidement, il a été admis que des missiles de type Fateh- 313, dérivé direct du Fateh-110, avaient été utilisés contre la base d’el-Asad. L’assertion mérite cependant d’être discutée, plus particulièrement si l’on prend en considération les zones de tir possibles. D’autre part, si l’utilisation des Qiam-2 peut être inférée des impacts, certains experts ont mis en évidence son utilisation potentielle par l’analyse des débris du propulseur. Dans ce cas particulier, la combinaison de l’analyse de l’imagerie et de l’expertise du système d’arme permet d’arriver à un haut niveau de certitude quant à l’évaluation du missile utilisé. Identification des zones de tir et conséquence dans l’évaluation du type de missile utilisé L’idée que la frappe trouve sa source à Kermanshah résulte du tweet initial de Fars (voir première partie), qui y associe le Fateh-313, la distance de la base semblant cohérente avec la portée du missile. L’association entre Fateh-313 et Kermanshah a ensuite été tacitement admise par les observateurs, au motif que les frappes de 2017 et de 2018 provenaient d’une des bases identifiées dans la région concernée. Reste que l’emploi d’un modèle différent de la famille des Fateh ne peut être exclu.

The Americans had told Mohammad Reza Pahlavi that he could buy any weapon from the U.S. except nuclear weapons. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, billion-dollar deals were being closed to buy all kinds of military equipment from the U.S. Until one day it became clear that the United States would not sell the Lance missile to Iran that was a surface-to- surface missile with a length of 6 meters and a range of 120 km.

Later it became clear that US would not even sell missiles with a range of 60 kilometers to Iran. That is why Mohammad Reza Pahlavi's attention was drawn to Israeli for new military contracts. In this regard, Israel and Iran discussed about the Project Flower that was a joint Israeli-Iranian military project in July 1977. This project focused on producing of long range missiles. This project did not work. Subsequently, it became clear that the sub-objectives of the project were more than the primary objective.

  • Iranian Operations Against El-Asad and Erbil Bases: What Does the Imagery Show?
    Iranian operations against el-Asad and Erbil bases: what does the imagery show? Part Two February 12, 2020 Agnès LEVALLOIS (FRS), Vincent TOURRET (FRS) and Stéphane DELORY (FRS) in partnership with Géo4I Curiously, the issue of missile identification has not caught the attention of observers. It was very quickly accepted that missiles of the Fateh- 313 type, a direct derivative of the Fateh-110, had been used against the el-Asad base. However, the assertion is worth discussing, especially when possible firing ranges are considered. On the other hand, while the use of Qiam-2s can be inferred from the study of the impacts, some experts have shed light on this missile’s potential use by analysing the booster debris. In this particular case, the combination of imagery analysis and weapon system expertise provides a high level of certainty with regard to the assessment of the missile used. Identification of firing ranges and consequences for the evaluation of the type of missile used The idea that the strike originated in Kermanshah stems from the initial tweet from Fars (see part one), which mentions the Fateh-313. The distance from the base appears to be consistent with the missile's range. The association between Fateh-313 and Kermanshah was then tacitly accepted by observers, on the grounds that the 2017 and 2018 strikes originated from one of the identified bases in the area. Nevertheless, the use of a different model of the Fateh family is a hypothesis that cannot be put aside. Indeed, although the range of the Fateh-313 is sufficient for the strike against el- Asad, the very high accuracy indicates the use of a terminal guidance system on the missile, a system that has not been confirmed as part of the Fateh-313.

  • Iran's Ballistic Missile Program
    Iran’s Ballistic Missile Program: New Developments by Dr. Farhad Rezaei BESA Center Perspectives Paper No. 1,110, March 12, 2019 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Iran’s rapid development of missile expertise has raised concerns in Washington and among its allies about Tehran’s intentions. Despite international censure, the Revolutionary Guards have been able to develop the largest and most diverse ballistic missile arsenal in the region. Tehran is determined to develop and acquire ever more advanced and accurate ballistic missiles – but its efforts to achieve that goal are hampered by American and Israeli determination to subvert it. A key component of Iran’s military doctrine is the development of an indigenous ballistic missile program, and the country’s rapid development of missile expertise has raised concerns in the US and among its allies. Iran embarked on an indigenous ballistic missile program in 1986, when the Revolutionary Guards created a “self-sufficiency unit” to develop military industries that would not require assistance from other countries. Headed by Gen. Hassan Tehrani-Moghaddam, the “founding father” of the Iranian missile program, the unit was essentially an R&D facility for missile technology. By reverse-engineering Soviet-era Scud technology, Tehrani-Moghaddam enabled the Guards to develop the largest and most diverse ballistic missile arsenal in the region. It includes the Shahab-1 (based on the Scud-B), the Shahab-3 (based on original Scud-C technology), the Ghadr 110 and its variants, the Emad, the Shahab-4, the Shahab-5 (Kosar), the Shahab-6 (Toqyān), the Fajr-3, the Qiam, the Ashoura, and the Sejjil.
