Iran fired two ballistic missiles at Diego Garcia this week.

Multiple recent reports from various media outlets claim that Iran fired two intermediate-range ballistic missiles toward Diego Garcia, a joint U.S.-U.K. military base in the Indian Ocean. However, these reports consistently state that the missiles did not hit the base itself. There is also skepticism regarding the missile range, as Diego Garcia lies approximately 4,000 kilometers from Iran, which exceeds the 2,000-kilometer range limit Iran has publicly stated for its ballistic missiles. The sources are all non-trusted and lack independent verification from highly reliable or official military sources. While the claim that missiles were fired in the direction of Diego Garcia is widely reported, the assertion that the base was directly targeted or hit is not supported by conclusive evidence. Thus, the core of the claim—that Iran fired missiles toward Diego Garcia—is likely true, but the implication that the base was specifically targeted or struck is unproven and possibly exaggerated.
