Iran Launches Sejjil-2 'Dancing Ballistic Missile' Amid War With US-Israel I Strait of Hormuz

After the United States and Israel launched Operation 'Epic Fury' against Iran and killed Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran has been attacking United States military assets in the Middle East. Iran has also targeted Israel along with its neighbours: the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Iraq, Jordan, and Oman.

According to reports, Iran has used the Sejjil-2 ballistic missile during the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

The Sejjil-2 ballistic missile’s solid-fuel design allows it to be prepared and launched more quickly than older liquid-fuel systems such as the Shahab series, reducing the time available for adversaries to detect and intercept it. Iran is also believed to have developed multiple variants of the system, including the Sejjil-2, while reports suggest that a possible Sejjil-3 variant could be under development.

Iran's ballistic missiles have proven their ability to evade US air defence systems like Patriot in the Middle East.
