Iran launched unsuccessful attack on UK's Diego Garcia

Iran fired two ballistic missiles at the joint US-UK military base on Diego Garcia in the Chagos Islands, but both failed to reach their target—one malfunctioned in flight and the other was intercepted by a US warship. The UK MoD condemned Iran's 'reckless attacks,' while questions remain about whether Iran possesses missiles with sufficient range to reach Diego Garcia, approximately 2,350 miles away. The incident occurred before the UK expanded permission for US use of British bases to strike Iranian sites threatening shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
