Tehran, March 16: Iran has claimed that it used the Sejjil ballistic missile for the first time during the ongoing military conflict in the Middle East. According to Iranian officials, the missile was launched as part of a strategic response to recent attacks and escalating tensions in the region.

The Sejjil missile is a long-range, solid-fuel ballistic missile developed by Iran. It is believed to have a range of around 2,000 kilometers, making it capable of reaching targets across a large part of the Middle East.

Military analysts say the reported use of the Sejjil missile marks a significant escalation in the conflict, as it represents one of Iran’s more advanced missile systems. The missile is designed to be launched quickly due to its solid-fuel technology and has been tested multiple times in the past.

While Iranian media claimed the missile was used successfully, there has been no independent confirmation from international agencies or other governments regarding the exact details of the launch.

The development has raised concerns globally, with international leaders urging restraint and calling for diplomatic efforts to prevent the conflict from expanding further.
