Iran Deploys Sejjil Ballistic Missile in Ongoing Conflict with Israel and US

Iran has deployed its advanced Sejjil ballistic missile, also known as the 'dancing missile,' for the first time in the ongoing conflict with Israel and the United States since February 28. The two-stage, solid-fuel medium-range missile has an estimated range of about 2,000 kilometres and a payload capacity of roughly 700 kilograms. Its solid-fuel design allows faster launch and high-altitude manoeuvring, enhancing its ability to evade missile defense systems like Israel's Iron Dome. The missile was developed domestically, with initial tests dating back to 2008, and represents a significant advancement over older liquid-fueled systems.
