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.

Do you think they are holding back on their Wunderwaffen? Do you think they have secret stuff in some bunker just “waiting” for the right moment?
If they had it, that stuff would have been used already.
Maybe! Maybe not!
That, or the guy who the Israelis have been pushing to step down was actually the most moderate voice in the government, and the lunatics are running the asylum.
Ballistic re-entry speed
He was due to step down anyway...he’s what, 88 or 98?
Or they are running out of munitions and having to use whatever they have left.
What were the defensive missiles that President Trump just redirected to the Middle East instead of Ukraine, where Biden had promised to send them at the end of his term? Is that what Israel needs now?
That is a legitimate concern.
Do they have any quantity of plutonium from that heavy water reactor that Israel hit yesterday?
Good point.
We bshould prepare ourselves that a few nasty surprises may still come our way before this plays out.
That was with old cluster munitions, not with these newer, more expensive missiles.
They are running out of boom booms.
Thank you!
It seems logic and military thinking has gone to the wayside here in a lot of posts the past few years.
Logic used to be quite common, but nowadays everyone has some pet conspiracy theory based on emotions.
Israel just needs to nuke them and get it over with.
I understand it was the old patriot systems.
Anyway, the presser just now with the press secretary...she stated that no decision is to be made for another two weeks. At least thats the headlines.
Whats that tell us? Tells me that the old son of a bitch “supreme” leader has got out of dodge and there is a new group that has to be dealt with.
Will be interesting what happens in the realm of missile exchanges in the next few days.
That’ll tell us the attitude of the new controllers in Iran..if there has heen a change that is.
(Israel just needs to nuke them and get it over with.)
Which countries would the radiation fallout travel towards?
I think this signals that Iran is running out of more conventional missiles. Why use a missile with a 2000 km range when Israel is within 900 km of Iran? They can fire from the other side of the country, true.
The advantage of this missile is its ability to evade intercept. We will see how effective it is.
(Tells me that the old son of a bitch “supreme” leader has got out of dodge and there is a new group that has to be dealt with.)
And that would be the fanatical Iranian Republican Guard who he handed over power to.
Matthew 24:42-44
Evangelical Heritage Version
42 So be alert, because you do not know on what Day your Lord is coming.
43 But understand this: If the master of the house had known at what time of night the Thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into.
44 You also need to be ready for this reason: The Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not expect Him

Matthew 24:6-13
Perhaps, when whoever is in charge in Iran realizes they are at the end, they could get desperate, launch everything they have and not be concerned about the consequences.
If North Korea can develop a Nuke, so can Iran, IMO, if Iran really wanted a Nuke they would have built one by now, I’m sure North Korea for the right price would sell them whatever they needed, I think the threat of building a bomb is what Iran was using a deterrent.
We can’t discount what a desperate nation might do when they realize it’s over.
