War Secretary Hegseth Warns Iran Has Missiles That Can Strike London

The UK government confirmed that both missiles missed their targets, but this incident has made people even more worried about the threat Iran could pose to Britain itself.

The Israeli military has previously claimed that Iranian missiles could achieve a range of around 4,000km, placing numerous countries across Europe, Asia, and Africa at risk.

Without explicitly naming Diego Garcia, Hegseth said: “Two days ago they [Iran] shot two failed missiles on a target 4,000km away. For years, they told the world that their missiles could only range [2,000] kilometres. Surprise. Yet again, Iran lie.”
