Iranian military forces launched two intermediate-range ballistic missiles on Saturday aimed at the Diego Garcia military installation in the Indian Ocean, which houses both American and British personnel, according to Iran’s semi-official Mehr news agency.
Earlier reporting from The Wall Street Journal confirmed that Iran had deployed the ballistic missiles in the direction of the strategic base, though the projectiles failed to make contact with the facility.
According to Mehr’s coverage, the missile strike represented a “significant step … that shows that the range of Iran’s missiles is beyond what the enemy previously imagined.”
