CNN confirms Iran fired two intermediate-range ballistic missiles, likely Khorramshahr-4s, at the joint US-UK base at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, over 2,300 miles (4,000 km) from Iran.
Neither missile hit the base. One failed mid-flight. A US warship launched an SM-3 interceptor at the second, though it is unclear if the intercept was successful.
The strike came hours after the UK authorized US use of British bases to target Iranian missile sites.
