In a historic escalation, Iran has launched its Sejjil ballistic missile at Israel for the first time, according to reports from Tasnim News Agency, a media outlet affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

The Sejjil, a two-stage, solid-fueled ballistic missile with a range exceeding 2,000 kilometers (1,240 miles), has long been viewed as one of the most advanced weapons in Iran’s strategic arsenal. A newly released video highlights the missile's deployment in what Iranian media describe as part of the latest retaliatory strike against Israeli targets.

Missile Capabilities

  • Type: Two-stage, solid-fuel ballistic missile

  • Range: Over 2,000 km

  • Speed: Hypersonic during descent phase

  • Purpose: Designed to evade missile defenses and strike high-value targets deep within enemy territory

The launch marks the first known operational use of the Sejjil missile in live combat, raising the stakes significantly in the ongoing Iran–Israel conflict.

Strategic Implications

Military experts warn that the deployment of the Sejjil may signal a shift in Iran's military strategy—from deterrence to direct use of high-value strategic assets. The Sejjil’s ability to be launched with minimal preparation time makes it difficult to preemptively neutralize, increasing its threat profile.

Israeli defense officials have not yet publicly confirmed whether the missile was intercepted or what impact, if any, it caused on the ground.

Escalation Timeline

The launch comes amid a rapid escalation of hostilities between the two nations, with dozens of missile and drone attacks reported in the past 48 hours. It also follows Israeli strikes on Iranian military sites and proxy groups across the region.

The confirmed use of the Sejjil ballistic missile by Iran is a turning point in the conflict with Israel, showcasing Tehran’s willingness to use its most advanced long-range weapons in active combat. With tensions rising and both sides escalating, the risk of broader regional warfare continues to grow.
