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.
Some analysts have suggested that Iran’s development of the Shahab‑5 was influenced by cooperation and technology transfers involving North Korean and Russian missile programs in the late 1990s.
