The Iranian-made surface-to-surface missiles were fired simultaneously at a single target. The Iranian media says the Guard fired nine Zelzal missiles, two Shahab-1s, two Shahab-2s and one upgraded Shahab-3 missile.

Iranian officials have previously announced that the Shahab 3 can reach targets up to 2-thousand kilometers away, putting Israel and US bases in the Gulf within reach.
