Iran’s Long-Range Missile Launch Puts Europe and Diego Garcia Within Reach

Iran shocked observers by firing two intermediate-range ballistic missiles toward the U.S.–U.K. base on Diego Garcia. At about 2,500 miles from Iran, the strike shows Tehran’s arsenal now exceeds previously acknowledged limits. Just days before the operation, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi insisted Iran kept its missile range under 2,000 kilometers to avoid threatening U.S. or European populations. The latest launch clearly surpasses that ceiling. Israel’s military leadership warns that Tehran’s new capabilities can directly reach capitals such as Berlin, Paris and Rome. Critics accuse the regime of deception and call for a united international response.
