The missile strikes on Iranian cities prompted Iran to respond, and in 1982 Libya agreed to provide training to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) along with two 9P117 TELs and about 20 missiles. The first Iranian Scud was launched by the IRGC’s Khatam al-Anbya Missile Unit in the early hours of March 12, 1985 against Kirkuk. The Iranians launched 13 more missiles against Baghdad through June 1985, and Iraq responded with missile launches against Dezful and Bakhtaran. Saddam Hussein was infuriated by the missile attacks against Baghdad, particularly since the Iraqi R-17E missile did not have the range to reach Teheran. The Soviet Union rebuffed attempts to acquire longer-range missiles, so Iraq began a program to extend the range of its R-17E.
This was done by extending the fuel tanks of the standard R-17E to add 985kg of propellant, while at the same time reducing the warhead by 335kg. The resulting missile was dubbed the Al-Hussein after the Shia martyr Imam Hussein. Flight-testing began in February 1987 and the first fully successful flight test took place on August 3, 1987, with the missile reaching 650km compared to the maximum range of 300km for the normal R-17E. At first, the Al-Hussein missiles were constructed by cannibalizing other Scud missiles, consuming three Scuds for every Al-Hussein. The Project 144 production facility at Taji managed to reduce this to a one-to-one ratio by substituting some locally manufactured components. After another shipment of 118 R-17E missiles from the Soviet Union in 1988, Iraq was able to construct about 250 Al-Hussein missiles.
