First displayed several years ago, the "Khorramshahr-X" appears to retain the Khorramshahr-1’s booster configuration but features a smaller RV. Given the Kh-1’s stated range of 2,000 km and its 2,000 kg warhead, the Kh-X’s range exceeds 2,000 km.
Since 2017, Iran has unveiled multiple variants of the Khorramshahr ballistic missile family. We’ve created an infographic covering the family’s variants, their configurations, and key features.
The infographic is available for download in 4K.
Nearly two years after construction began, recent satellite imagery suggests the underground facility at the Shahroud Missile Complex may be nearing completion. Paving is visible near its entrances, while further expansion or additional excavation may also be underway.

The biggest finding is a severely damaged Royal Saudi Air Force RE-3A spy plane, with its horizontal stabilizer missing and visible fuel leakage.
It was likely hit in the same March 2026 Iranian strikes that destroyed a USAF E-3G and KC-135R tanker.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
OSINT analysts identify the aircraft as an RSAF KE-3A tanker, not RE-3A, as it lacks the spy plane's distinctive hog nose and cheek fairings.

Low-resolution Sentinel satellite imagery shows signs of paving along the access road to the base. The site appears to be nearing completion and becoming operational.
Exclusive | satellite imagery captured by @vantortech reveals an underground missile base under construction in Iran. The site has five underground entrances, extensive excavation spoil, and temporary facilities. Construction continues despite damage from the recent war.
Official footage released during Operation True Promise 2 shows solid-fuel missiles emerging from underground launch positions at the Khorramabad missile base.
The first image geolocates the scene, while images 2 and 3 provide a closer examination of these positions.
A damaged object, possibly a ballistic missile launcher, is also visible in the base. Its identification is based on its shape and dimensions.
Satellite imagery dated May 1, 2026, shows damage around the underground entrances of a missile base north of Shiraz that were targeted and subsequently reopened during the recent war.
The base has also expanded significantly since the 12-day war.

Recorded by IRGC Aerospace Force personnel, the footage captures the missile from launch through its boost phase, ending with the formation of its distinctive luminous plume in the evening sky.
Just weeks before the 2026 Iran war began, two senior Iranian commanders visited an underground missile base. One of the officially released images from the visit shows part of a Khorramshahr-4 ballistic missile.

Hamid Kasiri, a local teacher, and @snntv_en , shared photos and videos of multiple apparent weapon fragments. Alongside @Easybakeovensz, @mhmiranusa, @Navy_Iranian we identified some of these parts as components of AGM-154 Joint Standoff Weapon, or JSOW — a U.S. weapon.
