2023, May 25 -- An other longer variant of Khorramshahr missile on display.
Analysis: The overall length is about 15 m. The lengthening of the oxidizer tank by about 0.8m indicates an improvement in the fuel composition. The WH is now maneuverable.

                

 

2019, February 04 -- Successful launch of longer Khorramshahr on display
Analysis: The overall length is about 14.5 m. The lengthening of the oxidizer tank by about 0.8m indicates an improvement in the fuel composition. The WH is steerable.

This pictures from a video documented probably the launches in July 2016 and January 2017

2017, Febr. 02 -- It was reported that on January 29 a rocket launched from the Semnan site. After about 900 kilometers ended the flight catastrophically shortly after separation of the shroud due to a engine malfunction.
Comment: Possibly a further test of the new Khorramshahr missile.

2016, July 11 -- Iran have made on 11 July an attempt to launch the new "ballistic missile", based on North Korean technology. Citing intelligence officials, the test failed shortly after lift-off.
Comment: Probably a test of the new Khorramshahr missile.


This looks very much like a catastrophic ending

Two failures of this missile have been reported so far, which shows
 that the Iranians as also the North Koreans are not able to master this technology safely.
