Iran launches ballistic missiles at UK-US military base on Diego Garcia
Iran fired two intermediate-range ballistic missiles at the joint UK-US military base on Diego Garcia island in the Indian Ocean, approximately 2,500 miles from Iran. Both missiles failed to hit their target, with one failing in flight and another reportedly intercepted by a US warship. The attempted strike demonstrates Iran's longer-range missile capabilities than previously acknowledged.
