Iran's longest‑range missile launch to date targeted the joint UK-US military base on Diego Garcia, in the Indian Ocean. One missile was intercepted, another failed midflight.
The strike shows that Central Europe may now be within Iranian range, raising concerns in Germany as the government faces questions about US operations at Ramstein.
