Overview
- Iran launched two long‑range missiles toward the U.S.–UK base at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean in an attack the UK called unsuccessful, signaling greater reach than Tehran previously declared.
- Separate Iranian ballistic missiles struck Dimona and Arad in southern Israel, injuring roughly 100–120 people and damaging multiple buildings, according to hospital and emergency officials.
- U.S. Central Command said airstrikes destroyed an underground Iranian site used to store and support anti‑ship cruise missiles, claiming Iran’s ability to threaten traffic near the Strait of Hormuz has been reduced.
- President Donald Trump warned Iran to fully reopen the strait within 48 hours or face U.S. strikes on its power plants, prompting Iranian vows to target U.S. and Israeli energy, desalination and IT infrastructure in the region if attacked.
- Israel said its forces were striking targets in Tehran after the Iranian barrages, and the IAEA reported no abnormal radiation following attacks near nuclear‑related facilities in both countries, as more than 20 nations signaled readiness to help secure maritime passage.
