The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have claimed that Iran possesses weapons capable of traveling approximately 4,000 kilometers, posing a direct threat to European capitals including London. The warning follows revelations that Iran targeted the joint UK-US military base on Diego Garcia in the Chagos Islands.
Experts have expressed concern that Iran’s missile capabilities could reach major UK cities, raising questions about the nation’s preparedness for a potential attack. The IDF statement underscores the growing global threat posed by Iran’s long-range missile program.
The UK government has not yet issued an official response to the IDF’s claims. However, the revelation that Iran targeted Diego Garcia—a key strategic base—has heightened security concerns among Western allies.
Military analysts note that while Iran’s missile technology has advanced significantly, the likelihood of a direct strike on the UK remains uncertain. Nonetheless, the warning serves as a stark reminder of the evolving nature of global threats.
