The Tabas (Persian: طبس) missile system is an Iranian medium range road-mobile aerial defense system that was first revealed on 11 May 2014.[2] It is believed to be another version of the Ra'ad air defense system along with Sevom Khordad.[1][2] The name of the air defense system refers to Operation Eagle Claw which took place at Tabas and hence the name of the missile system.[1]
