This is hard to believe. I would think both Israel and Russia are far ahead of Iran's capabilities. I don't keep up on these things but something like Sarmat IMO is one of the most advanced missiles tech out there, i don't think Iran has these type of capabilities.
In terms of quality/quantity with war tested results, I still stand by my statement.
Russia mogs Iran in terms of quality
China's (potential) quantity is unrivaled.
But Iran (imo) has perfected the perfect balance in order to achieve a regional dominance in the ME. They're giving hypersonics to the houthis and emps to hezz on an ever-increasing scale. Their arsenal of different missle types is vast and we've got to see them in action (no theoretical performance debates).
This isn't to say that Iran achieved this because their engineers/scientists are the best in the world, it's simply because after the war of the twin cities against iraq(or w/e it was called) some higher-ups decided that Iran would dedicate all her resources to pursue missle technology and this has payed off dividends. Iran is stuck with virtually zero boomer-legacy weapons (aircraft carriers/tanks/anything that dones like) and instead pursued things like mrbms that get fired on "train tracks" deep underground that operates like a freaking conveyor belt.
Russia/China/America does not have the luxury of not playing superpower and abandoning their conventional toys but Iran does and did.
Also, I can't stress enough the variety of Iran's missles and how quickly they developed them; I say this as someone who wants Israel (america) to put a full stop on the irgc proxies who target American bases and Israel willy-nilly.
