No.
Thrust termination was last used on Sejil-1 with its unguided RV.
It would add no capability to a MaRV missile except for lower minimum range.

As we had predicated, Iran now has a compact, cheap solid fuelled anti-Israel missile. A very significant development.
The Khorramshahr missile is similar to the North Korean Musudan / Hwasong 10 / BM-25. IMO Iran needs to come out with something like Hwasong-14. With that Iran would be able to reach Washington DC, even from Tehran.
I'm sure that Iran already has the blueprints and the capability, however right now the economic and political climate is not ideal for such a reveal. Iran's economy is currently in recession. However according to the world bank, in 2 years Iran's economy will grow. At the same time, right now Iran is looking to get rid of the UN embargo which effectively prevents Iran from purchasing weapons from Russia, China.
Revealing a long range ballistic missile and going too far with the nuclear program would prevent Iran from being able to purchase new fighter jets and advanced military technology. However when the time is right, I'm sure that Iran will reveal an ICBM to the world.

Some interesting details from the Press TV video below:
Haj Qassem missile can destroy fortified targets (even underground). It can be quipped with (optical? Radar?) systems that can allow it to also target sea based targets.
Abu Mahdi cruise missiles have twice the destructive power compared to the previous versions. It can be used effectively against 3000-5000ton sea based targets. A seeker has been designed for the missile which utilised 20 different techniques in dealing with electronic warfare.

When considering the ability of our enemies to defend against these new Iranian missiles, one must remember it's not just a qualitative assessment, but a quantity one as well. So not only are their missile defences not very capable of dealing with these new Iranian missiles, but even if they could do so to a meaningful degree, they could never outproduce Iran in terms of missiles.
In case of a conflict, these missile defences will simultaneously be targeted alongside the assets the are meant to be protecting. They will be made useless very quickly. And this is true even if we were to consider one type of missile such as Haj Qassem. Of course in reality the enemies will be faced with much more.
The zionists made a big blunder by focusing so much on missile defence. They lacked the foresight to see just how the Iranian missile capability would grow. Now they're stuck in this badly losing catching up game, and that will not change.

The DF-3's have a long range (3000-4000km) and a large warhead (2000+kg) but the Saudi's have never even launched one before and their accuracy is terrible (300 m CEP) They have about 30 of these and 10 launchers. They're basically only good for killing civilians in high traffic / congested areas but they're so useless in terms of accuracy that the Saudi's didn't even use them to retaliate against Saddam in the early 90's.
They allegedly purchased more modern DF-21's in 2014. Their accuracy is much better (30 meter CEP). Still they have a limited amount. In a war against Iran, the reach of these missiles would be pretty much pointless. Iran has hundreds if not thousands of missiles with newer technology that can hit targets in Saudi Arabia with pin point accuracy.
The Saudi's have their airforce but Iran would no doubt immediately target their communications, command and control centers along with airfields and runways. The Saudi military is extremely centralized structurally. Units cannot so much as move an inch without authorization from the top. Therefore they would suffer badly if Iran targeted their communications HQ's and command centers. Of course the Saudi's have enough jets to launch airstrikes but Iran has excellent air defenses so I'm guessing Saudi's would lose some jets.
The difference is that Iran's military doctrine is based on defense and most of Iran's missile launchers and air defense batteries are hidden deep underground in secret bunkers. Some are underneath mountain ranges and they're so deep that even bunker busters can't get to them. If you think about it 30+ missiles is not that much, especially with their lack of accuracy. Iran has hundreds if not thousands that would devastate the Saudi's. Iran simply has too much volume and accuracy when it comes to missiles and Iran's air defenses are too potent.
Iran and Saudi Arabia don't share borders so it would just be airstrikes and missiles exchanged and in that regard, just with its massive arsenal of quality missiles Iran would win. If Iran could significantly reduce the capability of the Saudi airforce, I'm pretty sure the Houthi's will begin conquering Saudi territory with relative ease. The Saudi military sucks because the royals are afraid of their own military so they don't promote officers based on competence and capability, leadership skills, etc. Rather they promote soldiers based on loyalty and family ties alone, so their military, even with the best weapons money can buy, is garbage.
The Houthi's even recently gained a large chunk of territory (3200 km2) from the Saudi's.

According to this tweet some other systems were unveiled but not revealed publicly (not sure if missile related)
Same thing happened last year with the unveiling of the Bavar-373. There was a public unveiling and a secret unveiling with the Oghab system present for certain 'eyes' only.
