Zelzal-2 (Persian: زلزال-۲, meaning "Earthquake") is an unguided ^[1] Iranian 610 mm heavy artillery rocket that can carry a 600 kg (1,323 lb) warhead an estimated 210 km (130 mi). The missile is thought to be based on the Soviet FROG-7 missile, ^[2] with development begun in 1990. ^[3]

As of August 2006, it has been reported that Iran had supplied Hezbollah with Zelzal-2 missiles^[4]. Similar claims had already been made in 2002^[5] but no proof has been found in subsequent years. It appears^[6] that, if there are indeed such missiles stationed in Lebanon, they are controlled by Iranian liaison officers^{[citation needed]}.
