The Ghadr-110 ( Persian : قدر -110, Ghadr means "intensity") is a medium-range ballistic missile that was developed by Iran . The missile is said to have a range of more than 1,800 km. The Iranian armed forces first unveiled the missile in 2007 at a military parade.

The Ghadr-110 is an improved version of the Shahab-3A . It is assumed that the first combustion stage uses liquid fuel while the second stage uses solid fuel. The Ghadr-110 is said to have greater maneuverability and a shorter set-up time than the Shahab-3. The set-up time is 30 minutes, while the older Shahab-3 has a set-up time of several hours.

Iran reportedly carried out Ghadr-110 launches on November 21, 2015 and January 29, 2017. The US viewed this as a violation of UN Security Council Resolution 2231 , which prohibits Iran from working on ballistic delivery systems for nuclear warheads.
