The Ya Ali is a missile created by Iran. The missile was first publicly shown on the 11th of May 2014 when Ayatollah Khamenei visited the Aerospace Force of the Army of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution. The missile is named after the calling upon Ali for help in the Shia religion. The missile has also been claimed to be used by the Ansar Allah movement by Jane's Defense Weekly.[1]
