Tehran, March 21 (Xinhua) — Iran fired two ballistic missiles at the US-British military base in Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, the semi-official Mehr news agency reported on Saturday.
The Wall Street Journal and CNN reported on Friday that Iran fired ballistic missiles at a base on Diego Garcia, an island in the Chagos Archipelago, but they missed their target.
Britain on Friday agreed to the US use of the Diego Garcia air base to strike Iranian missile launchers used to attack ships in the Strait of Hormuz, British media reported.
The decision came after US President Donald Trump expressed disappointment with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer for not allowing US troops to use a military base to launch strikes on Iran.
