According to multiple media and government accounts, Iran attempted to bomb the joint U.S-UK base at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean with two intermediate-range ballistic missiles. (IRBM). This is significant because previously, many were under the impression that Iran’s limit was around 2,000 km. Diego Garcia is over 4,000 km from the launch point.
The Telegraph reported:
“Neither of the missiles hit their target, with one believed to have been intercepted by a US warship’s SM-3 interceptor and the other failing in flight, according to The Wall Street Journal.
This attack would seem to indicate that most of Europe is within range of Iranian IRBM’s. Once again Israel and PDJT are proven right about the threat that Iran poses.
TRUMP, FEBRUARY 24, 2026: “[Iran has] already developed missiles that can threaten Europe and our bases overseas, and they’re working to build missiles that will soon reach the United States of America.”
🚨 WOW. President Trump has just been proven right AGAIN on the world stage — Iran just proved they can fire missiles WAY BEYOND the Middle East
“2,500 miles away — previously, Iran said their missiles go only 1,300 miles!”

It would seem that this map needs updating.
The free world can no longer afford the luxury of pretending and wishful thinking.
Iran, under this regime has, for 47 years, chanted “Death to Israel. Death to America.” With a nuke, Israel becomes a one bomb country. Detonating a nuke in Israel would render much of the country uninhabitable. Iran has told negotiators that they have enough uranium for 10-11 bombs. Where would they send such bombs?
Iran’s current leadership as decimated as it may be, must be removed from power. They have waged war against Israel and the West for a long time while building war machinery that could eventually destroy much of the world. This attempt to reach Diego Garcia puts a lie to the claim by Joe Kent that Iran is not an imminent threat.
Just what constitutes an imminent threat? If one is in an alley with no exit behind you and an individual is advancing toward you with a crow bar in his hand threatening to kill you, does that constitute an imminent threat? Only the cognitively impaired would say no. Does one have to wait until he hits you to stop that threat? Absolutely not. Does one have the right to neutralize this threat using a gun? Absolutely.
This is where Israel is. This is where Europe is. And this is where America is. One does not have to wait until one gets hit to stop the imminent threat. And BTW America has been hit many times by Iran and its proxies.
Is Iran’s move a last ditch “Hail Mary” to try to scare the West into backing down from the war that is underway? Is this a prelim to a suicidal attempt to end the world that the Twelver Cult of Islam is looking for? Is this a serious capability that must be destroyed?
