Iran fires missiles toward remote U.S. and U.K. base in the Indian Ocean

Iran launched missiles toward Diego Garcia, a remote island in the Indian Ocean that hosts a joint U.S. and U.K. military base. The U.K. government stated the attack failed, and the U.S. said its forces on the island remained out of range.

Iran later denied responsibility for the missile strikes. The incident demonstrated that Iran's missile technology can reach distant targets like Diego Garcia, which is thousands of miles from Iran.
