#3 Sounds like the Taepodong-2. And yes, Iran will get it since they are paying for it's development.

#4 Actually this missile is probably the Taepodong-X, based on the Soviet submarine launched SS-N-6. It's supposed to be mobile.

#9 More here:

According to the U.S., the missile resembles the Russian 274 (RSM-25) missile otherwise known as the SSN-6. This missile can be launched from below the ground and has the ability to reach up to 5,000km, hence even reaching Guam.

In addition, the U.S. informed that the last missile launched in North Hamkyung and stationed in Musudan-ri July last year which had a long range missile 6,700km had been renamed the Musudan missile due to its origins, instead of the Taepodong 2, reported the newspaper.
