This can be 12000+ KM road-mobile SICBM. Very nifty for SLBM.

The only reason Russians and US do not have this platform is cancellation after their arm pact. This would be RSS-40-X Kuryer or MGM-134.

Warhead:about 200-250 kg (Usually miniature thermonuclear, eg W87)

Radius:about 12000 km for carbon fiber


1990s technology.

Did Iran just test an ICBM capable missile?
 
"There will be improved versions of Zoljanah. Iran is working on Cryogenic engines (pictured). Soroush-2 first stage will use Cryogenic engines. Engine will be named "Bahman"

As for the solid fuel system used in Zoljanah:

 
Did Iran just test an ICBM capable missile?
The first stage of the Minuteman 3 intercontinental ballistic missile has delivered about 91 tons trast. And its 75, which is said to rise up to 100..
 
Did Iran just test an ICBM capable missile?

The tech is interchangeable/closely related, moreover Iran openly mentioned that this "Rocket" (Zoljanah) can be launched from mobile platforms as well.


This news is actually the most important imo, having the ability to launch road mobile ICBMs from anywhere in the country is a game-changer. I'm guessing this development is a point of leverage they can use against Biden's administration if they want to play hard-ball (which they most likely will). Clearly Iran has advanced immensely in the field of rocketry and will only continue to expand its capabilities moving forward.

Sarir, Soroush-1/2 will be seminal vehicles for Iran once they are rolled out.

ICBM is technologically nothing for Iran. Like I said previously, if Iran wanted an overt ICBM capability this would have been done many years ago. I feel going forward, these solid fuel mobile "SLV" system will become the domain of the IRGC; that way they will be showing their ICBMs with plausible deniability.

One of the most important news today is the Soroush-2 with cryogenic engines.
 

Kindly note that the SLV was launched from space center and not a road. They could see it from satellites too, let alone radars.

If you remember after launch of Qased/Nour, another launch was promised for July 2020 and was never brought up.

So Trump preferred to not talk about it before the election :)
