Iran’s 4,000km Missile Strike on Diego Garcia Rewrites Military Strategy

This unprecedented strike marks a pivotal shift in the ongoing conflict, revealing Iranian military capabilities far beyond previous intelligence estimates. According to Al Jazeera’s analysis, the strike proves that Tehran possesses ballistic missiles with a range exceeding 4,000 kilometers—double the previously assumed 2,000km limit.

Expert Mohanad Seloom from the Doha Institute warns that if these missiles were pointed toward Europe, they could easily reach London. This development forces a complete recalculation of the war logic for Washington, London, and the European Union. Furthermore, concerns are rising that Iran may have developed Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs) capable of reaching the US mainland under the guise of its space program. The successful targeting of such a remote and strategic base signals a new and dangerous phase in global geopolitics.
