Iran has developed intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of striking London, Israel has warned Sir Keir Starmer.
Iran attempted to attack the joint British-US Diego Garcia military base on the Chagos Islands with two missiles. One was intercepted by a US warship and the second failed in flight, UK government sources confirmed on Saturday morning.
The attempted strike – launched from some 2,400 miles away – marked the first confirmed use of long-range ballistic missiles by Tehran.
The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) and Western military experts said it showed the regime now had weapons capable of hitting European capitals, as well as Britain.
On Saturday night, the IDF said the strike showed for the first time that Iran had weapons that could reach a distance of 4,000km, posing an immediate threat “to dozens of countries in Europe, Asia and Africa”.
