Iran threatens to target Diego Garcia: We will strike it if America attacks us
3/30/2025
Iran threatened on Sunday to strike the joint British-American base, Diego Garcia, if it were subjected to a military attack by the United States.
A senior Iranian military official told the British newspaper The Telegraph that Tehran would target the base located in the Indian Ocean in response to any potential US attack.
The official, whose name was not mentioned by the newspaper, added: "There will be no discrimination in targeting British or American forces if Iran is attacked from any base in the region, or within the range of Iranian missiles."
"When the time comes, it won't matter if you're an American, British, or Turkish soldier. You'll be targeted if the Americans use your base," he added.
Iran warned that it "possesses sufficient weapons for such an attack from its territory, such as newer versions of the medium-range Khorramshahr missile and the Shahed 136B suicide drone, with a range of 4,000 kilometers."
The US military recently transferred long-range B-2 stealth bombers, capable of carrying nuclear warheads, to Diego Garcia, raising speculation they could be used to launch military strikes against Iran.
Satellite images analyzed by the Associated Press revealed that Washington has moved at least four bombers to the base, which is well out of range of Iran.
It should be noted that the Diego Garcia base is a facility of the British Ministry of Defence and leased to the US Navy. It is located on a coral island of the same name in the Indian Ocean.
