Iran fires missiles at joint US-UK base 4,000km away in Indian Ocean


WASHINGTON, United States (AFP): Iran has fired two ballistic missiles toward the joint US-UK military base at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday (March 20), citing US officials.

Neither missile hit the target, which is around 4,000km from Iranian territory, but the launch suggests that Tehran has missiles with longer ranges than previously thought, the report said.
