Qiam 1 (Persian: قیام-١, meaning "Uprising-1") is an Iranian missile resembling Shahab-3 variations while according to photos , it is smaller than Shahab-3 . It has been tested on 20 Aug 2010 and is claimed to have more chance to evade interception because unlike other Shahab variants , it does not have fins .
In 20 Aug 2010, Iran announced that it has successfully test fired a new missile called Qiam-1. Iranian Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi on state TV said that "the missile has new technical aspects and has a unique tactical capacity". He also stated that "Being a new class of Iranian missiles, Qiam 1 has been equipped with new technical specifications and exceptional tactical powers" and then noted "Qiam 1 is part of the new generation of the Islamic Republic's surface to surface missiles with liquid fuel and completely designed and built domestically" .But he didn't mention the range of the missile .
The next day in 21 Aug 2010, Head of the Defense Ministry's Aerospace Industries Organization General Seyed Mehdi Farahi told Fars News Agency that "it is possible for Qiam-1 to be launched from various types of launchers". Then he added "that the range of Qiam differs in accordance with its mission, meaning that the missile can hit targets in different distances according to its mission plan.". He also said "that Qiam-1 is a radar-evading missile and that the time for preparing and launching the missile has been minimized.
In 2011, Iranian defense minister Ahmad Vahidi announced that the missile is now being delivered to IRGC Air Force.

Copy....Paste Nothing surprising here. with the defense systems GCC operate can detect and hunt down all Iranian junks at the first phase. Manipulation of fuel tanks for different range but same Korean technology.
producing junks is better than importing junks ..haha..
well Iran is producing spare parts...read sth man before giving professional opinions.

Qiam 1 missile test
Qiam 1 missile out of atmosphere
The advantages of Qiam 1 missile to Shahab 3 missile :
1.Longer range
2.Higher accuracy
3.More diverse firing platforms
The most important one is number 4 .
As mentioned before , Qiam 1 can be launched from fixed and land mobile platforms but the most important feature that can be considered is the capacity of firing this missile in the sea like the experiences of Russian R-27 and Indian Navy's dhanush missile .

Meshkat Cruise missile :
The Meshkat (Persian: مشکات , Lantern) is a medium range cruise missile built by Iran.
Iranian media quoted Iran's deputy defense minister on September 9, 2012, that a medium range cruise missile will be revealed soon. The missile can be fired from ground, air and sea and will have a range of 2000 km.
The missile is possibly a reverse engineered version of Kh-55 that Iran obtained from Ukraine in 2001 or an extension to a drone design called Karrar which was revealed in 2010 .
A report about Meshkat :
Iran's deputy defense minister has announced the country plans to unveil a homegrown medium-range cruise missile in the near future.
“Meshkat cruise missile, which God willing will be unveiled soon, has a range of more than 2,000 kilometers. It will be the upper hand of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran,” Brigadier General Mehdi Farahi, who is also the director of Defense Ministry’s Aerospace Organization, said on Sunday.
“Meshkat cruise missile will have submarine-, ground- and air-launched properties and could also be fired from a warplane,” the general said.
Farahi said the Iranian Defense Ministry has already produced five cruise missiles, namely, Zafar, Nasr, Noor, Qaser and Ghadir, adding that the development of nine more cruise missiles is under study.
He went on to say that Iran is upgrading the “precision, radar-invasiveness, tactical aspects and durability” of its missiles.
The general, however, noted that the development of cluster warheads does not lie within Iran’s defense strategies, stressing that the country has done a lot in tweaking missile warheads, which is an important factor in upgrading ballistic missiles.
Farahi played down the US deployment of missile defense systems in the region, saying they could never overpower Iranian missiles. “We hope that nothing would happen. But if any confrontation is to take place, they will see how their claims will turn out to be groundless.”
In recent years, Iran has made great achievements in the defense sector and gained self-sufficiency in essential military hardware and defense systems.
Iran has repeatedly assured other nations, especially regional neighbors, that its military might poses no threat to other countries, insisting that its defense doctrine is merely based on deterrence.
The pictures might be useful to see :

Karrar (UCAV)
Karrar (Persian: کرار‎ karrār, "striker", nickname of Ali, first Imam of Shi'a,) is an unmanned combat air vehicle produced for the military of Iran. According to reports, the UCAV can bomb targets at high speed. It is the first long-range unmanned aerial drone manufactured in Iran.
Iranian state TV said the Karrar has a range of 1,000 kilometres (620 mi) and could carry two 115 kilograms (250 lb) bombs, or a precision-guided munition of 227 kilograms (500 lb). The Karrar can also carry four Kowsar light anti-ship missiles or one Nasr-1 anti-ship missile. The Karrar unmanned combat air vehicle is 4 metres (13 ft) long and has a turbojet engine which can reach the speed of 900 kilometres per hour (560 mph). The Karrar uses a rocket assist system to assist in take off and is recovered by parachute.

Ya Zahra air defense system :
Ya Zahra air defense system
Type : Light , mobile air defense system
Used by : IRGC AF
Designed : 2012
Width : 2.2m
Height : 1.5m
Ya Zahra (Persian: یا زهراء, Zahra: Prophet's daughter name) is an air defence system designed by Iranian engineers. This system was designed to enhance Iran's short range capabilities in the field of air defense and equipments. Unlike Raad which uses 3 Taer missiles, Ya Zahra uses 2 light missile launcher. The system is designed in a short period of time according to Iranians, the commander of Khatam ol-Anbia air defense base brigadier general Farzad Esmaieli: "This low-altitude missile system has been designed and produced in a short period of time based on domestic needs. Ya Zahra missile system's capabilities include deployment under all types of weather conditions and on different lands as well as its mobility". This system was successfully tested in Defenders of Velayat Skies 4 air defense drills. The time of replacing missiles batteries and the engagement altitude are much less than Raad.
News :
TEHRAN, Jan. 27 (MNA) – Iran's Defense Minister has unveiled assembly line for ‘Ya Zahra’ and Mersad air defense systems. These systems are capable of targeting different planes, helicopters, drones, and Cruise missiles.
In unveiling ceremony of ‘Ya Zahra’ air defense assembly line and Mersad systems large-scale delivery to Khatam al-Anbia Construction Headquarters, Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi told reporters that with help from God, “now, we are unveiling one of the brilliant achievements in Aerospace Industries of Ministry of Defense, namely, designing and developing ‘Ya Zahra’ air defense system.”
Vahidi praised the achievement as “completing the chain of self-sufficiency in design and development of short-range air defense systems” in the country.
“The system is capable of identifying, tracking, and destroying air targets such as airplanes, helicopters, and drones in short range,” he said.
Vahidi also pointed to Mersad systems large-scale delivery, saying that “Mersad surface-to-air missile system is medium-range highly advanced system, capable of offensive operations against fighter jets, helicopters, drones, and Cruise missiles.”
