Iran possesses the Middle East's largest ballistic missile force, with some missiles capable of striking parts of Europe. The Kh-55 cruise missile, for example, has a range of up to 3,000 km. While Iran has developed space-launch vehicles that could be modified into Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles, experts state developing an operational system would take up to eight years. Significant work on re-entry vehicles is necessary for such advanced missiles.
