Other missile launches the Iranians werent at:

Iranian military representatives were said to have attended North Korea's Taepo Dong-2 missile launch.

At least 10 members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps attended the Taepo Dong-2 intermediate missile launch. South Korea's official Yonhap news agency said the IRGC personnel were senior engineers who sought to learn from Pyongyang's missile program.

Yonhap reported on July 1 that the IRGC engineers participated in the preparation for the Taepo Dong launch. The news agency said the IRGC has been examining Chinese-origin missile technology for Iranian procurement.

South Korean sources said Iran and North Korea could be planning a project for the joint development of new liquid missile propellant. Yonhap quoted the sources as saying that the propellant could be used for both Iranian and North Korean missiles

IRAN'S SHIHAB-3 MISSILE
The1300 Km Shihab (Comet) 3 IRBM achieved operational status with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Air Force in July 2003 . It is believed that by now Iran possesses about 20 missiles of this type, which can reach Israel as well as US military targets in the Middle East

The missile's range and payload conforms well to Iran's nuclear ambitions.

The ancestry of the Shihab 3 is the North Korean missile program, which relied heavily on Soviet/Russian technology transfer.
