Iran Targets British-US Base and Its Main Nuclear Enrichment Site Is Struck Again
Iran launched missiles at the Diego Garcia UK-US base and struck its Natanz nuclear site, showing extended missile range, while no damage or radiation leaks were reported, officials said.
- Britain's Ministry of Defence said Saturday that Iran attempted to hit the joint U.K.-U.S. air base, condemning the act as a threat to British interests.
- Iran's official news agency Mizan reported no leakage after the Natanz nuclear enrichment facility was struck, and the International Atomic Energy Agency said it was informed and expects no radiological consequences.
- Reported range assessments indicate the attacks exceeded Iran's past missile-range claim below 2,000 kilometres, with analysts suggesting Iran may have improvised using a space launch vehicle.
- The U.S. Department of Defense announced deployment of three amphibious assault ships and roughly 2,500 Marines, while U.S. Central Command said Iran's ability to attack vessels had been 'degraded' and regional partners offered assistance.
- Humanitarian tallies show widespread deaths and displacement, with more than 1,000 killed and over 1 million displaced in Lebanon, and more than 1,200 killed in Iran, as heavy airstrikes hit Tehran and surrounding areas.
