Sejil, or Sejjil, (Persian: سجیل, lit. 'brimstone') is a family of Iranian solid-fueled medium range ballistic missiles. The Sejil are replacements for the Shahab liquid-fueled ballistic missiles. According to US Pentagon sources, the missile profile of the Sejil closely matches those of the Ashura, Ghadr-110 and the Samen.
Development of the Sejjil missile likely began in the late 1990s, building upon Iran’s accumulated experience from previous missile programs, particularly the Zelzal short-range ballistic missile (SRBM) series.
