Wikipedia
The Shahab-1 (Persian: شهاب-۱, meaning "Meteor-1") was the foundation of the long-range Iranian missile program. The missile itself is a minor variant of the Scud-B, which Iran initially acquired from Libya and Syria between 1985 and 1986. The Scud-B's 300 km range allowed Iran to strike Baghdad during the Iran-Iraq War. Iran later received Scud-B missiles from North Korea and possibly the Soviet Union. During the war between Iran and Iraq it is estimated that Iran fired 100 to 231 Scud B missiles 
Iran began making the Shahab-1 sometime between 1988 and 1994
