The scope of the ongoing war in the Middle East is continuously increasing. Iran on Saturday fired two medium-range ballistic missiles at the US and Britain’s strategic military base ‘Diego Garcia’ located in the Indian Ocean. Immediately after this attack, the sound of air defense system being activated and loud explosions were heard in Dubai also. This expansion of the war in the Indian Ocean comes after a US submarine sank the Iranian warship ‘IRIS Dena’ on March 4, in which more than 85 people were killed.
According to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) report, Iran on Saturday fired two ballistic missiles at the joint US-UK military base Diego Garcia located in the Indian Ocean.
This is the biggest and rarest attack so far on this base located about 4,000 kilometers away from Iranian territory. However, US officials have confirmed that both the missiles fired by Iran were shot down in the air.
Officials said one missile failed mid-flight, while the other was destroyed in mid-air by an interceptor (SM-3) launched from a US warship.
Diego Garcia is located in the Chagos Islands and is an important US-UK military base which has been used as a staging hub for US bombing operations in Afghanistan and Iraq.
iran The targeting of Diego Garcia has become a matter of concern for military experts. Till now it was believed that Iran’s missile range was limited, but the attempt to attack 4,000 km away indicates that Tehran now has the ability to target targets located in Europe as well. The Pentagon has not yet issued any official statement on this, but strategists believe that this has completely changed the geography of war.
Former Union Minister expressed concern
Former Union Minister Manish Tiwari has expressed concern over this incident on the social media platform ‘X’. He said that if Iran has really tried to attack Diego Garcia, then it has greatly increased the scope of the war. According to Tiwari, Iran has given a clear message to the West that it can go out of the borders of the Middle East and attack towards the south also.
Araghchi warned UK
On the other hand, Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi Britain Has strongly criticized Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Araghchi said that Starmer is going against the wishes of his own people and allowing British bases to be used for aggression against Iran.
He warned that this was putting the lives of British citizens in danger and Iran would use its right to self-defense. Iran believes that Britain’s move is directly dragging it into war.
At the same time, amid the attack on Diego Garcia, tension has also spread in the city of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. The sounds of explosions were heard in many parts of the city, after which the administration clarified that the air defense system had successfully foiled an aerial threat.
Officials have appealed to the public not to pay attention to any kind of rumors and rely only on official information. This wave of war is now becoming a big threat to the tourism and security of the Gulf countries.
