The range of this Iranian missile is approximately 300 km.[7] It was revealed in a defense exhibition on 11 May 2014[1] and is believed to be an Anti-radiation derivative of Fateh-110 tactical ballistic missile having Terminal guidance instead of Electro-Optical guidance.[1]

In March 2017, it was reported that this domestically-made ballistic missile dubbed “Hormuz-2” was fired;[8] and according to Amir Ali Hajizadeh, (Aerospace Division commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps): Hormuz-2 successfully destroyed a target from a distance of 250 kilometers.[9]

Hormuz-2's[10][11][12] appearance is mentioned to be very similar to the missile of Persian Gulf (Khalije-Fars) which is a supersonic quasi ballistic anti-ship missile, which is reported to be able of targeting warships.[13][14][15][16]
