Iran Strikes Joint U.K.-U.S. Base Exposing Long-Range Missile Capabilities

Iran has attempted a ballistic missile strike on the joint U.S.-U.K. military base at Diego Garcia, raising the stakes of the ongoing conflict. The Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. reacted to the attack, signaling that the region is now directly engaged in a high-intensity exchange of fire. This escalation demonstrates Iran's ability to project power across the Indian Ocean and threaten critical U.S. strategic assets.
