Iran shows expanded missile reach with Diego Garcia base strikeIran launched two intermediate‑range ballistic missiles toward the joint US–UK military base on Diego Garcia, a tiny atoll in the central Indian Ocean that sits roughly 3,800–4,000 km from the Iranian coast.
Neither projectile struck its target: one broke up in flight, and the second was engaged by an SM‑3 interceptor fired from a US Navy destroyer — though it’s not yet clear whether that interceptor made the kill.
