Iran Launches Missiles at UK-US Base on Diego Garcia
Iran fires two missiles at joint British-American military base on Chagos Islands, as tensions escalate after UK PM Starmer authorizes more US strikes from British bases.
In a dramatic escalation of regional tensions, Iran has reportedly launched a missile strike targeting a joint British-American military base on the remote Chagos Islands. The attack comes after UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer authorized the US to carry out further attacks from British bases, a move that prompted a warning from Tehran that British lives were now "in danger."
According to the Iranian news agency Mehr, Tehran fired two intermediate-range ballistic missiles at the Chagos Islands, where the strategic Diego Garcia military installation is located. While neither missile hit its intended target, the assault nonetheless represents a significant escalation in the ongoing tensions between Iran and the West.
