Here is what I've gathered on Iranian military and I am sure there is so much more to gather but it's hard to find this info. Lemme know if you can add/subtract to this.

MISAGH-1
The 'fire and forget' surface-to-air missile (SAM) is claimed to have the capability to engage fixed-wing and helicopter targets from all
angles, flying at altitudes of between 30m and 4,000m and at ranges from 500m to 5,000m. The Misagh-1 missile is fitted with a high-explosive
warhead weighing 1.42kg that is probably activated by an impact fuze, although a proximity fuze would be more effective. It can be used in an
ambient temperature range of from -40° to +60°C. It is 71mm in diameter, 1.477m long and has a launch weight of 10.86kg; the complete system
weighs 16.9kg. It uses a nose-mounted seeker for infrared passive homing guidance. The three key parts of the Misagh-1 system are the
missile in its disposable launch tube, gripstock firing unit and the replaceable battery/coolant unit, which is mounted towards the front of
the launcher. The missile is boosted out of the launcher by a boost motor at the rear which then falls away. The main rocket motor then
accelerates the missile to a maximum speed of 600m/sec. There are four fins at the rear with the control surfaces to the rear of the seeker.
-----------------------------------------------------------
QADR-1
The Qadr is a like the GBU-8, but it have a AGM-65A seeker, which seems to be better than that of the GBU-8. It seems (I'm not sure) that the
first version (lets say Qadr-1) is not powered by an missile engine, it seems to only glide to the target. The realistic (not ballistic)
range at a high altitude should be about 6-10km against big targets and 2-5km against smaller ones if used with help of TISEO of the Phantom
and 2-5km without TISEO. It seems to be only a good-weather weapon; operations at night are not very likely. There seems to be 2 versions of
the Qadr-1 one with the big Mk.84 bomb and the other seems to be with a M117-like bomb, this one with the M117-like bomb have big fins in its
rear.
-----------------------------------------------------------
QADR-2
The missile/bomb which called Qadr-2 seems to have some stand-off capabilities. I think it use also the Mk.84 bomb but with a big missile
engine (Tom says developed from the Maverick and Sparrow engine). I don’t know much about the guidance but it is not the normal Maverick
seeker it is bigger, but I think that it use also the EO system of the AGM-65A. It could be that it uses this EO system only in the terminal
mode, if it is close enough to the target, but this would need a data-link connection to the launch aircraft, I don’t know if Iran has the
capability for such a system. If not the range is like the Qadr-1 in combat, but if it have a direct real-time connection it could use the
F-4 radar to find the target shoot at region of it and if it is close enough (4-6km) to the target, it could be guided in real-time
EO-Terminal mode. If it use such a system the range could be from 10km to more than 50km (depend on the systems which would be used). But if
I look at the Qadr-2, it must have an other guidance system than the normal Qadr-1/AGM-65A seeker, because the size/engine it use, such
engines are for ranges over 10km, optimal maybe up to 50km. Like you see, I would need more infos, to say if it is a normal 5km EO system or
a far over 10km Radar/EO system, but because I don’t know, I can only speculate.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Sattar-1 is a laser guided missile, comparable with the AS-30L.
The Sattar-2 seems to be a powered LGB.
The Sattar-3 seems to be an improved version of the Sattar-1.

Zolfaqar A : 50-100?
(From Iran self build MBT, already in service, and more are to be build. (a longer M-60 with T-72S transitive and improved?) 125mm 2A46 full
stabilization gun ? 780PS-Diesel V12 ? or more?, new version with 840 PS V-12 motor (Zolfaqar-2?, automatic gun loader, IA40-1 or EFCS-3-55
fire control system with ballistic computer and laser rangefinder, AT-11 ATWG ??? Some with laser warning system equipped? (Improved
Zolfaqar-2?) it could be that in future the Zolfaqar(2 or 3) get more powerful motors with more that 1000 PS, a laser guiding system for
laser guided weapons (ATGM) is in production and will equip with new Zofaqar (2 or 3?). The Zolfaqar-2 have a Iranian build ERA. The first
deliverys (1998-99) where probably for the IRCG but the Army will be get Zolfaqars (2?) too, some reports say that the army is now equipped
with this Iranian MBT.
