CSIS says Iran used Fateh missiles in its January 2020 response to the U.S. strike that killed Qasem Soleimani during the 2020 United States-Iran Conflict, with Fateh missiles likely involved in the Erbil attack.
Fateh-110 / Fateh-family ballistic missile
- Fateh A-110
- M-600
The Fateh-110 is Iran's road-mobile, solid-fuel short-range ballistic missile and the baseline of the Fateh family. CSIS says it is most likely a modified Zelzal-2, while Atlantic Council describes the first Fateh A-110 as entering service in 2004 and later variants adding range, guidance, and export-offshoot changes. CSIS also ties Fateh missiles to Iran's January 2020 retaliation after the Soleimani strike.

Documented Variant Line
Open-source references treat the Fateh-110 as the baseline of Iran's guided short-range ballistic-missile line, with later variants trading payload mass for range and guidance improvements.
| Variant | Source-backed note |
|---|---|
| Fateh A-110 | The first operational version, with Atlantic Council describing it as inducted in 2004. |
| Fateh A-110A / Fateh 2 | Atlantic Council says this version carried a smaller 450 kg payload and reached 250 km. |
| Fateh A-110B / Fateh 3 | CSIS says this version is tied to the Syrian M-600 project and is associated with a 300 km class range and about 480 kg payload. |
| Fateh-110-D1 | CSIS says Iran unveiled it in August 2012 with an improved guidance system but the same range class. |
| Fateh-e Mobin | CSIS says Iran displayed this variant in 2018 and claimed a 300-500 km range. |
