For the first time in its current response to US-Israeli attacks, Iran launched the Sejjil missile. This missile is solid-fuel, making it more difficult to detect and intercept.

This is not a minor footnote. Pay attention to what it means. The Sejjil is a domestically developed two-stage solid-fuel missile with a reported range of 2,400km. Unlike liquid-fueled missiles which require preparation time before launch, solid-fuel systems can be fired with far less notice - making them significantly harder to target on the ground before they leave the launcher. That last part is the critical detail. The entire logic of preemptive air defense - hitting launchers before they fire - breaks down against solid-fuel systems. You lose the warning window. Al Jazeera noted that the Sejjil's solid-fuel design allows faster launch readiness - a decisive advantage when Iran expects incoming strikes and needs survivable, responsive options. In other words, even under sustained US-Israeli bombardment, these missiles can still be prepared and fired quickly from mobile launchers before they're located and destroyed. This was wave 54 of Operation True Promise 4. The same wave also included super-heavy Khorramshahr missiles with two-ton warheads, Kheibar Shekan, Qadr and Emad missiles. The Sejjil didn't replace the other systems - it was added on top of them. Sirens activated across Tel Aviv, Herzliya and at least 141 other locations. A missile struck near a US consular residence in Tel Aviv, injuring three people. Day 16. Wave 54. And Iran just introduced a weapons system it had been holding back. That is not a country running out of options. That is a country managing its escalation ladder deliberately - and still has more rungs left.

Solid-fuel missiles mean faster launches and less warning time.

@africaupdates Weapons are getting more sophisticated, but the consequences remain the same; civilians living under fear while powerful states trade military messages.

Why does Al Jazeera sound so excited about missiles being fired at Israeli civilians? Reporting the news is one thing. Celebrating rockets aimed at cities full of families is something else entirely. That’s not journalism — that’s propaganda.

Imagine being down so bad that you have to celebrate the *launch* of the missile because you know it's not going to have any relevant impact

The Sejjil is one of Iran’s more advanced ballistic missiles, using solid fuel and able to travel about 2,000 km, which makes it quicker to launch and harder to intercept than older liquid-fuel missiles.

🛑Iran’s first official use of the Sejjil-3 has pushed the war into an extremely dangerous phase.

@AJEnglish I thought Iran had been defeated, as Trump proclaims every day?

@AJEnglish While US ammunitions are almost empty Iran just now begin to release their big buddies

Solid fuel changes everything this just got real fast

@grok how lethal is this missile?

@NazifMusah Iran had some serious toys to play with

This escalation in the conflict is deeply concerning, highlighting how quickly tensions can intensify. Let's pray for peace and de-escalation amid these waves of attacks. 🌍🙏 What are your thoughts on how global events like this affect our collective resilience?

Sejjil missile, launching this missile is one of two things, either Iran is losing a grip on the war and trying to make one last attempt to create fear or they want to escalate and take it to another level.

Nice propaganda for the illegitimate regime... however, if it had been used then it wouldn't need a propaganda reel put out by a fake news organization🤷🏻‍♂️ Instead you/they would be bragging about the actual destruction it had caused 🙄

These are so easy to shoot down. They won't get within 100 miles of a carrier strike group

So, was it intercepted? Because it doesn't seem to have hit anything.

Wow, I thought the 22 minute arrival was incredibly fast.

@AJENews doing the propaganda of the Mollah

More fake news. Below is the truth from an expert on Iran's missiles:

Sejjil or not launch it and watch it get erased. Technology doesn’t win wars, brains do.

Well let the war rages on. Either side is not ready to negotiate or back down, let the craziest of the party win the war.

Powerful statement from Iranians. Salute to them. Self dependence.

La saif ila ZULFIQAR. 📢🇮🇷✊🤞🍉

And off we are, one way stop Tel Aviv...On a Guardian Angel's back😎

@Danshayi_ From the Name and story behind the name you know it’ll be potent

“Launching the Sejjil missile sends a clear message. As a solid-fuel ballistic missile, it can be launched faster and is harder to detect or intercept compared to liquid-fuel systems. This marks a serious escalation and shows how the conflict is entering a more dangerous phase.”

@AJEnglish The Ayatollah and the IRCG barbaric animals will be totally obliterated. Victory to US. Victory to Israel. God bless America. God bless trump. God be with the men and women of the military

lol this Iranian Regime is over, they are a joke. They are like a 6 year old trying to fight a 17 year old kid in the school yard.
