Description and Activities:
The location of Farhin could not be determined. According to Israeli and US sources, Farhin is a missile production facility. It was cited as one of five possible targets for an Israeli strike on Iran in 1997, after intelligence reports concluded that Iranian medium-range ballistic missile and nuclear programs were moving forward at a much quicker pace than had previously been understood.
