In December 2008, an Iranian naval force successfully test-fired the surface-to-surface Nasr-1 during the final stage of "Unity 87" wargames in the Persian Gulf waters. Following the successful test firing, on 7 March 2010, Iran's defence minister announced mass-production of Nasr-1 missiles.^[2][3][4]

In early 2012, during Velayet-e 90 wargames, it was tested from land-based TELs.^[5] On 10 February 2013, head of Iran Aviation Industries Organization announced that an air-launched version of Qader and Nasr-1 anti-ship cruise missiles will be tested in a week.^[6] It also has a submarine launched version called Jask-2.

The Nasr-1 may purportedly be a copy of the Chinese C-704^[7][8] short range missile.^[1]
