The Iranian regime unveiled on Aug. 18 two ballistic missiles, with one named after Qassem Soleimani, the slain Qods Force commander, and the other after Iraqi militia leader Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis, who was killed along with Soleimani in a U.S. drone strike in Baghdad on Jan. 3.

On the same day, it was reported that Venezuela may be showing interest in buying Iranian missiles.
