Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) confirmed today that it has launched Sejil medium‑range ballistic missiles—with a range up to 2,000 km—directly at Israel for the first time in recorded history.
This marks a serious escalation in the ongoing tit-for-tat conflict between the two nations.
The solid-fuel, two-stage Sejil—first tested in 2008—is highly maneuverable and difficult to intercept, strengthening Iran’s strategic posture.
Spokesmen from the IRGC proudly confirmed that three Sejils—each boasting a range between 2,000 and 2,500 km, Mach‑13 speeds, and a warhead capacity up to 700 kg—were launched deep into Israeli territory under the cover of Operation True Promise 3.

Na , Israel would never shoot back ,D’oh
The panic is that Israel is near to running out of defensive missiles.
The “supreme” leader is most likely in China now.
Act of desperation on Iran’s part.
Well, did they hit anything besides sand?
(Mach‑13 speeds)
9974.499 miles per hour
10,000 mph missiles?
The “supreme” leader is most likely in China now.
They can keep him
Missiles exist that can fly these speeds.
So, they ran out of their cheap short range stuff.
Interesting.👍
Low Earth Orbit speed is 17,000 mph.
Isn’t that the velocity the International Space Station is traveling at?
Yes but that’s getting in the range of MIRVs coming down from suborbital altitudes
Good thing they don’t have miniaturized nuclear warheads
Obviously, because they’d likely already have used them
Now if Pakistan supplies....
If I read it correctly (with sleepy eyes) it’s a two-stage solid-fuelef missile
Give or take a few mph ... “Low Earth Orbit” is a range, not one specific altitude. Since ISS is in a LEO orbit, it’s moving at approximately 17,000 mph.
Yeah or 17,500 mph IIRC
>>Well, did they hit anything besides sand?<<
They hit a hospital in Beersheba and killed some civilians.

What I would be concerned about right now is, Iran could be in its last days of existence, what capabilities could they have we don’t know about.
We know they have enriched uranium to near weapons grade, could they put enough of that enriched uranium into one of these missiles and launch it at Israel as a type of dirty bomb.
If Iran is on its knees, they might be desperate enough to launch a dirty bomb at Israel and not be concerned with a real nuclear bomb coming back at them.
“For the first time in recorded history”. Sheez, sensationalism at its finest.
In some circles, this is referred to as "regime change".
