So they've restarted the manufacturing of missiles. In the 80's and 90's the country produced some 600-800KM range missiles.

For the project they got Iraq's missile scientist back out of retirement and hired a Soviet era Russian missile scientist some sources say. Based on a vid report of defense official last years they stated the plan to produce a 250KM range ground-ground missile, this project will likely grow to that range and beyond.

Yaqeen-1 is short range, uses solid-fuel. It's a signal that they'll head back to the longer range missiles, though I believe they're not very effective with conventional warheads it's probably to wield some strategic strike capability for deterrence in the future.
