The reported incident had drawn attention because Diego Garcia lies 4,000 kilometers (2.485 miles) from Iran, double the 2,000-kilometer limit Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi claimed Tehran had deliberately imposed on its missiles.
That self imposed limit was so US wouldn’t have an excuse to strike, now that they have, it’s unlikely for Iran to continue to abide by it.
But it’s also completely unrealistic for them to get one so fast or to risk having it prior to the recent war.
The fact that it’s just Israel making this claim and NATO/UK not backing up does make it likely to be a ruse Israel is using to try and drag more countries in.
