Multiple news outlets have reported on an incident involving Iran and a US-UK military base in the Indian Ocean. According to reports, two missiles were launched at the base by Iran.

The BBC has stated that no assessment has been made regarding Iran’s capability to strike London. CNN has also reported on the incident, stating that it highlights Iran’s long-range missile capabilities.

Fox News has cited experts who believe that Trump was correct in asserting Iran’s ability to launch such missiles. The US-UK military base in question is located at Diego Garcia, which is within range of Iranian missiles.

The UK has confirmed that two missiles were fired at the base, but both failed to reach their target. This incident brings Europe into range with Iran’s missile capabilities.

These reports are based on publicly available information and should be used as a factual summary only.
