Iran war: Tehran fails in missile strike on the US-UK base at Diego Garcia

Tehran has fired two long range missiles at the remote US UK base on Diego Garcia — one intercepted, the other failing mid flight. The attempted strike, condemned by the UK as "reckless," shows Iran is willing to hit far beyond the Gulf as the conflict widens. The missiles traveled farther than previously believed possible, raising new questions about the true range of Tehran's weapons. With Diego Garcia lying nearly twice as far as Iran's assumed maximum missile range, DW spoke with experts Farzan Sabet and Hans‑Jakob Schindler to assess the real capabilities of Iran's missile program — and to examine how seriously governments and the public should take Tehran's warning that Israelis and Americans are now "unsafe worldwide." #dwnews #unitedstates #unitedkingdom #europe For more news go to: http://www.dw.com/en/ Follow DW on social media: ►Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dwnews ►TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dwnews ►Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deutschewellenews/ ►Twitter: https://twitter.com/dwnews Für Videos in deutscher Sprache besuchen Sie: https://www.youtube.com/dwdeutsch Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/user/deutschewelleenglish?sub_confirmation=1
