Background

Ballistic Missiles have been the primary strategic weapon in the Iran-US conflict, with Iran firing them at targets across Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the US base on Diego Garcia. Iran launched two intermediate-range Ballistic Missiles at Diego Garcia; one malfunctioned in flight while the second struck the atoll.

Iran's Ballistic missile arsenal ranges from short-range Fateh-110 variants (300 km) to the Khorramshahr and Emad medium-range systems (2,000 km) capable of reaching Israel. The strike on Arad wounded 84 people including a five-year-old girl; the strike on Dimona, home to Israel's nuclear facility, wounded 40.

Iran also deployed a cluster warhead variant that scattered submunitions across three Israeli cities, marking a significant escalation in warhead sophistication. The UAE has engaged 414 Ballistic Missiles since the conflict began.
