Iran's attempted strike on Diego Garcia falters as missiles are intercepted

Iran reportedly fired two ballistic missiles at Diego Garcia, a joint US–UK base in the Indian Ocean; one missile failed in flight and the other was intercepted by a US warship, with no damage reported. The UK Ministry of Defence called the attack reckless, and analysts remain uncertain whether Iran has missiles long enough to reach the 2,350-mile target, though some note longer-range options. The incident occurs amid broader regional tensions and ongoing debates over UK–US use of bases to defend shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
