Abstract

Iran's active approach to rocket development was illustrated by the November 2008 test firing of a new missile, the Sajjil. A solid-fuel rocket with a range of 1,800 kilometres, the Sajjil suggests an advance in Iran's missile capabilities. However, significant progress would take years to come to fruition and would need to be demonstrated in many further tests.
