Iran fires missiles toward US-UK base in Indian ocean, Iran's Mehr says

Iran fired two ballistic missiles at the U.S.-U.K. ‌military base Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, the semi-official Mehr news agency ⁠reported on Saturday.

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 said targeting the base was a "significant step ... ⁠that shows that the range of Iran's missiles ⁠is beyond what the enemy previously ⁠imagined."
