The Sejjil is a two stage, solid fueled intermediate range ballistic missile developed by Iran, with a reported range of about 2,000 kilometers. Its first successful test came on 13 November 2008, and it was described at the time as a significant leap in Iranian missile technology, moving the country closer to intercontinental ballistic missile capability. Its solid fuel design lets it launch faster than earlier liquid fueled missiles such as the Shahab series, making it harder to target before launch.

Used In: Twelve-Day War, Section: Operational history
On June 18, 2025, during the Twelve-Day War the IRGC claimed to have fired a Sejjil missile at Israel; Israel claims the missile was intercepted with fragments causing minor damage to a vehicle. Analysts said this may have reflected a need to use longer-range missiles from deeper within Iranian territory.
