Tehran, Iran. Iran fired two ballistic missiles at the US-UK military base Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, the semi-official Mehr news agency reported on Saturday.
Reports on missile launch
The Wall Street Journal reported earlier that Iran had launched two intermediate-range ballistic missiles toward the base but that they did not hit it.
Mehr statement
Mehr said targeting the base was a “significant step … that shows that the range of Iran’s missiles is beyond what the enemy previously imagined”.
