Iran Strikes Diego Garcia With Long-Range Missiles
U.S. officials revealed that Iran launched two ballistic missiles targeting a remote U.S.-U.K. military base in the Indian Ocean, signaling an apparent attempt to project power far beyond the Middle East. Neither missile reached the base, with one failing during flight and the second being engaged by a U.S. warship’s interceptor. This incident underscores the growing reach of Iran’s missile program, extending to a location approximately 4,000 kilometers from its borders, a capability not previously acknowledged by Tehran.
