Dezful (Persian: دزفول) is an Iranian single-stage, solid-fueled medium range ballistic missile (MRBM). It was unveiled in February 2019 in an underground missile factory. The Iranian armed forces said that the missile has a range of 1,000 kilometers (620 miles). The range has not been independently confirmed.

The missile can attain the speed of Mach 7 (8,643 km/h). The Dezful is an upgrade of the older 700 km Zolfaghar model and t is classified as part of the Fateh family of missiles.
