Israel Expands Lebanon Operations as Dispute Grows Over Alleged Long-Range Iranian Missile

The dispute over a claimed 4,000 km Iranian missile shot is driving allied reassessments toward wider action in Lebanon.

Overview

  • Israel’s army chief said Sunday the military will advance targeted ground operations in Lebanon, describing the campaign against Hezbollah as a prolonged effort.
  • Israeli and U.S. media reports over the weekend said Iran fired long-range missiles toward the Diego Garcia base, with one intercepted and another failing in flight.
  • Iran on Monday denied targeting Diego Garcia, calling the allegation an Israeli false flag, after NATO’s chief said he could not confirm that an intercontinental missile was used.
  • Israeli forces launched renewed strikes on Tehran and other cities, with residents reporting power outages in parts of the capital as explosions shook several districts.
  • UK ministers told broadcasters Britain is not being targeted and questioned whether Iran could reach Europe, even as recent missile strikes and debris have injured civilians in Israeli towns like Arad and Dimona.
