What are Iran's military capabilities - and how much of a threat is it?

The IRGC (Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps), which answers to Iran's supreme leader, has an estimated 125,000-strong military with army, navy and air units.

It also commands the Basij religious militia, a volunteer paramilitary force loyal to the establishment and which is often used to crack down on anti-government protests. Analysts say Basij volunteers may number in the millions.

The Quds Force is the IRGC's foreign espionage and paramilitary arm that heavily influences its allied militia across the Middle East.

In 1982, it founded Lebanon's Hezbollah to export Iran's Islamic Revolution and fight Israeli forces which invaded Lebanon that same year.

Sejil is capable of flying at more than 10,500mph and has a range of 1,550 miles.

Kheibar, has a range of 1,240 miles - while the Haj Qasem can reach targets 870 miles away.

Iran had previously said it had built an advanced homemade drone named Mohajer-10 with an operational range of 1,240 miles. It can fly for up to 24 hours with a payload of up to 300kg (660lbs).
