Iran just proved its missiles can reach far beyond the Middle East

Iran fired two intermediate-range ballistic missiles at Diego Garcia, a joint U.S.-UK military base sitting 4,000 kilometers away in the middle of the Indian Ocean.

Neither hit the base, but the message landed harder than any warhead could.

Tehran has always publicly claimed its missile range tops out at 2,000 km.

This strike attempt doubles that number overnight.

The Khorramshahr-4 that likely carried out the attack can also deliver cluster warheads, the same munitions that have been devastating Israeli cities for three weeks.

Look at the map.

A 4,000 km range from Tehran draws a circle that reaches Paris, London, and most of Europe.

Every NATO capital that thought this war was a distant Middle Eastern problem just realized Iranian missiles could theoretically reach their doorstep.
