Iran used the two-stage heavy ballistic missiles 'Sajjil' with a range of 2000 kilometers for the first time, Iranian agencies reported citing a statement from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)

Two years ago, Iran conducted a test launch of this missile and stated that it could carry over one and a half tons of explosives. It is likely the first combat use of the 'Sajjil' missile, all previous launches were test and training. This Iranian two-stage solid-fuel medium-range ballistic missile is also considered by experts as a means of delivering nuclear weapons.

The missile was shot down, however, Iran is trying to show that it has a few more 'surprises' of this kind in store. In Israel, it is believed that Iran has few missiles of this type, and the stories about powerful weapons are a response to US threats.

According to Times of Israel, the latest Iranian attack on Israel consisted of only one ballistic missile, which was intercepted by air defense forces, no casualties.
