Hassan
Tehrani Moqadam, architect of Iran's missile program
The Iranian
media and military circles call him the "
Hassan
Tehrani Moghadam was born in Tehran in 1959. He initially became a member of
the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). During the Iran-Iraq War of
1980-1988, he realized that Iran desperately needed long-range missiles if it
was to be protected from external aggression. This realization changed the
course of his life. Iran began technical cooperation with North Korea in the
1990s. It is said that Hassan Tehrani himself visited North Korea and obtained
blueprints for Scud missiles from there, which Iran used as a basis to create
its Shaheen-like missiles. These include missiles like "Shahab",
"Qadr", "Sajil" and "Emad", which have a range of
1,500 to 2,500 kilometers, meaning they are capable of targeting not only
Israel but every corner of the Middle East.
Hassan
Tehrani Moqadam was not just a scientist or engineer, but he was also an
ideological figure. His phrase is often repeated:
"We are
the people who intend to annihilate Israel."
The same
phrase is also inscribed on his grave today, which is located in the
Behesht-e-Zahra cemetery in Tehran. The epitaph on the grave reads:
“Here lies
the burial place of someone who wanted to annihilate Israel”.
“This is the
person who wanted to annihilate Israel.”
This book
reflects his thought and mission that the purpose of Iran's defense program is
not only border security, but also a specific political and ideological goal.

Tehrani's sudden death! Accident or conspiracy?
On November
12, 2011, a powerful explosion occurred during a missile test at a military
base near Tehran, killing 16 people, including Tehrani Moghadam. Iran called it
an "accident", but the international media and some observers
suspected the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad. Israel has always considered
Iran's missile program a threat, and Hassan Tehrani was the brain of this
program.
Despite Tehrani Moghadam's martyrdom, Iran's missile program not only continues but also continues to develop. His disciples and experts working on the foundations he established are still striving to increase Iran's military power. Iran's missiles have become a sym
bol of not only defense but also diplomatic pressure and strategic power.
Hassan
Tehrani Moghadam was not a personality, but an ideology. His life is a story of
a daring nexus between technology, ideology, and national sovereignty. Today,
as the balance of power in the Middle East shifts, Iran's missiles and the name
of their creator are at the center of every debate that could affect the future
of the region.
