Iran has denied reports that it targeted the US-UK military base on Diego Garcia as Israel claimed its missiles could reach London

A senior Iranian official on Sunday denied to Al-Jazeera that Iran attempted to launch a missile strike against the US-UK military base on the island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean.

This came after the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday that Iranian missiles had attempted, but failed, to strike the base on Diego Garcia.

The alleged attack sparked widespread speculation about the range of Iran’s ballistic missiles. Diego Garcia is located approximately 3,800 kilometres to the southeast of Iran, while Iran previously said that its missiles had a maximum range of 2,000 kilometres.
