Iran fired missiles at joint U.S.-U.K. base in Indian Ocean
Iran recently fired two ballistic missiles toward the joint U.S.-U.K. military base at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing U.S. officials.
Neither missile hit the target, which is around 4,000 km from Iranian territory, but the launch suggests that Tehran has missiles with longer ranges than previously thought, the report said.
One of the missiles failed in flight, and the other was targeted by an interceptor fired from a US warship, though it was not clear if the missile was hit, The Journal reported.
