"The United Kingdom has slammed reckless Iranian threats after missiles targeted a joint United States-UK military base located on the Indian Ocean island of Diego Garcia. Iran, however, has denied the allegations that it was behind the launch of what US media outlets said were two ballistic missiles."
"The incident was reported after the US and Israel launched a war on Iran on February 28, one of whose goals, they said, was to degrade Iran's nuclear and missile programmes. Tehran has maintained its nuclear programme is for civilian purposes."
"An attempted targeting of the Diego Garcia joint military base by ballistic missiles reportedly happened between Thursday night and Friday morning, according to US media. The Wall Street Journal and CNN reported that one of the missiles failed mid-flight while the other was hit by a US interceptor fired from a warship."
The UK condemned an alleged Iranian missile attack on the Diego Garcia military base, asserting that two ballistic missiles targeted the location. Iran denied any involvement in the launches. The incident occurred following the US and Israel's military actions against Iran, aimed at degrading its nuclear capabilities. Reports indicated that one missile failed mid-flight, while another was intercepted by US forces. The UK has agreed to support US military operations against Iranian missile sites, although specific details about the attempted strikes were not disclosed.
