Sejjil
The Sejjil is a two-stage, solid-fuelled medium-range ballistic missile with an estimated range of 2,500 km, making it Iran's longest-range solid-propellant missile. First tested in 2008, its solid-fuel design provides a significantly shorter launch preparation time compared to liquid-fuelled systems such as the Shahab-3. The program has faced development delays but remains strategically important for Iran's deterrence posture. Also known as Sejil, Sejjil-2, Ashura.
