Since the Khorramshahr is based on the intermediate-range Musudan, which has an estimated range of 2,500 to 4,000 km, analysts have questioned why Iranian officials mark the missile’s maximum range at 2,000 km. One hypothesis focuses on potential Iranian modifications. IRGC Commander of the Aerospace Division, Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh stated that the Iranian variant “has become smaller in size and more tactical,” which may explain the missile’s decreased range.5 A second theory asserts that Iranian officials do not want to raise concern in Europe about their missile program, and thus are purposely underestimating the range. “I am not sure why the Iranians are lying about the range,” one U.S. official told Fox News. “I think they don’t want to piss the Europeans off.”
