Iranian military commanders are considering a preventive strike on a common US UK base on Chagos Island, which is in the Indian Ocean in an apparent attempt to distract the President Donald Trump Since the launch of a military attack on Iran, the telegraph report was first said.

Fox News Digital failed to independently confirm the threat of the Diego Garcia attack base, about 2,400 miles south of Iran positioned, but experts in Iranian security sounded an alarm that Tehran probably had, if not directly Rocket abilitiesOptions for positioning his weapons that will allow him to hit our strategic interests.

Iran has a “Samimunal” range of approximately 1,200 miles on its ballistic capabilities, though it is suspected that IRGC has a ballistic ability to hit up to 1800 miles, using the Balistic Middle Domet Rocket Khorramshahr-2, Ben Taleblu explained UA Post on x.

“There is always a chance to use cruising rockets with external products from even an unspoiled tanker or a commercial vessel at sea,” Ben Talebla explained in his post, referring to his use of Russian and Chinese purchased cruise missiles after his war with Iraq in the 1980s.

“Although all these options would make Iranian launch platforms, especially at sea, simple goals for Cotchstrike, they mean that Tehran There are options To move on to myself than expected, “Ben Talebla said.

Trump has increased his threats to Iran in recent days and warned that he could be a direct conflict if he did not stop arming the Houthhi terrorist group, or stop your nuclear program.

But it remains unclear at which level he will now respond to a direct attack on his army, which could be catastrophic for Tehran given the revealed defense capabilities when confronted with the attacks of Israel.
