Zelzal-1 (Persian: زلزال-۱, meaning "Earthquake-1") is an Iranian-made heavy artillery rocket with an estimated range of 160 km.[1] It is believed to be owned by the Iranian Armed Forces and Hezbollah. The rocket received relatively little use but was the basis for the more successful Zelzal-2 artillery rocket.
