Additionally, Iran is working on an advanced version of the Sajjil-2 (also called Sejil), a missile described as having “high accuracy and destructive capability.”

The rogue state’s wasting no time developing and improving its ballistic missile capabilities, along with its nuclear program. The U.S. and others recently discovered a second nuclear facility in Iran, which Iran denies was secret. The country also test-fired the long-range Shahab-3 and the Sajjil-2, a surface-to-surface, solid-fuel missile.

Will Israel make a pre-emptive move against Iran?
