Sejjil
Iran's first solid-fuel medium-range ballistic missile — a two-stage, road-mobile MRBM fielded by the IRGC, with a ~2,000 km range and a short-notice launch capability that marks a step beyond liquid-propellant Shahab derivatives.
Iran's first solid-propellant medium-range ballistic missile — a road-mobile, two-stage MRBM with a ~2,000 km range and a short-notice launch capability that gives the IRGC a survivable strategic strike option.
Overview
The Sejjil (also romanised Sejil, Sajjil, Sajil; Persian: سجیل, “brimstone”) is Iran's first indigenously developed two-stage, solid-fuel medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM). Road-mobile on a tractor-trailer transporter-erector-launcher (TEL), it is designed to strike high-value targets at distances of roughly 2,000 km — placing Israel and US regional bases within reach. Operated exclusively by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Force, the Sejjil entered service around 2012 and was combat-fired for the first time during the 2025 Twelve-Day War, and again in the 2026 US–Israel–Iran war. Its solid-propellant architecture allows it to be stored fully fuelled and launched on short notice, a key survivability advantage over Iran's liquid-fuel Shahab-series missiles.
