Iran’s 2,300-Mile Big Lie Just Exploded: Missiles Fired at Diego Garcia, Thousands of Miles From Tehran

“Iran is not a threat.”

Iran just proved it can strike over 2,300 miles—hitting Diego Garcia with missiles it insisted didn’t exist. This wasn’t a test. It was a revelation.

Iran just launched missiles at Diego Garcia—more than 2,300 miles from Tehran—demonstrating a strike range it was never supposed to possess. For years, its capabilities were downplayed or deliberately obscured. Now the reality is unmistakable. Put that distance in perspective: Tehran to Berlin is roughly 2,200 miles, to Paris 2,600, to London 2,750. What was once dismissed as theoretical is now proven in practice.

Diego Garcia is the largest island of the Chagos Archipelago. It has been used as a joint UK–U.S. military base since the 1970s,

WSJ: Iran fired two intermediate-range ballistic missiles at Diego Garcia, a joint U.S.-U.K. military base in the middle of the Indian Ocean, according to multiple U.S. officials. Neither of the missiles hit the base, but the move marked Iran’s first operational use of IRBMs and a significant attempt to reach far beyond the Middle East and threaten U.S. interests.

One of the missiles failed in flight, and a U.S. warship fired an SM-3 interceptor at the other, according to two of the people. It couldn’t be determined if an interception was made, according to one of the officials.

Iran just fired missiles at Diego Garcia – 2,361 miles from Tehran.

They were not supposed to have this range.
Surprise, surprise, Iran lied!

Tehran to London 2750 miles
Tehran to Paris 2610 miles
Tehran to Berlin 2200 miles

Daily Mail: Iran has fired intermediate-range ballistic missiles at the UK-US military base Diego Garcia, although neither missile made contact it marks a significant attempt by Iran to reach beyond the Middle East.

It comes after President Donald Trump blasted Keir Starmer saying that the UK ‘should have acted a lot faster’ in allowing America to use British bases to strike Iranian missile sites targeting the Strait of Hormuz.

Overnight further strikes hit areas of Iran and Lebanon, while Tehran also launched attacks against multiple Gulf nations.

On Saturday, Iranian state media claimed that strikes by the US and Israel had hit the nuclear enrichment facility at Natanz, but said no leakage of radiation had been detected.

Meanwhile Israel’s Defence Minister Israel Katz said strikes on Iran will ‘significantly escalate’ this week.

War in the Middle East

The US-UK joint military base was reportedly targeted by Iranian missile strikes on Friday evening, sources told the Wall Street Journal.

Multiple US officials confirmed to the outlet that neither missile hit the base. Two sources said one of the missiles failed in flight, and the other was intercepted by the US.

Diego Garcia is located on a remote island in British waters and houses US bombers, nuclear submarines and missile destroyers.

The base is around 4,000 kilometers from Iran. The strikes undermine Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi’s previous comments that Tehran limited ballistic missile range to only 2,0000 kilometers.

It comes after UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer yesterday gave the US permission to use the base for ‘collective self-defence’.
