The show at the beginning of the country's Week of Holy Defense marks Iranian sacrifices during the eight years of Iraqi war on Iran in the 1980s.

The second generation of advanced surface-to-surface Sejil missile was announced by Iran to be successfully launched in May.

Reportedly, the Sejil 2 missiles use solid fuel and perform in two stages, which is different from the country's already tested Shehab missiles that utilize liquid fuel and perform in one stage.
