Iran has fired ballistic missiles toward a joint U.S.-UK military base in the Indian Ocean, according to reports from Iranian state-linked media.
The semi-official Mehr news agency said two missiles were launched at the Diego Garcia, describing the strike as a significant escalation and a demonstration of Iran’s extended missile range.
However, a report by The Wall Street Journal indicated that the missiles did not hit the target.
Iranian media framed the launch as a show of strength, suggesting it underscored capabilities beyond what its adversaries had anticipated.
There has been no immediate confirmation from U.S. or UK authorities regarding the attack or its outcome.
The development comes amid heightened tensions in the region, as the ongoing conflict involving Iran continues to expand beyond its immediate borders, raising concerns over further escalation.
