Description: "This study describes and interprets the Iranian missile program within the context of Iran's threat perception, armament policies, and overall ambitions. Charting the origins of Iran's missile program and its development, the study presents a clear picture of where Iran's missile capability stands today and where it is likely headed. Iran's space program is a symbiotic adjunct to the missile program, and it is reviewed here as well" -- p. [7].
