'Iran has denied targeting a joint US-UK military base in the Indian Ocean, Al Jazeera reported, citing a senior Iranian official...
Neither of the alleged missiles hit the base, which hosts about 2,500 personnel, most of them American.' RT
I remember during the run-up to Obama and Trump escalating tensions in Iraq they used to launch mortars at U.S. bases but miss them and hit the civilian service areas instead so they could say we were attacked by ISIS or some such shit without actually killing American service men and women.
Israel and the United States are claiming Iran launched 2 or 3 long range ICBMs at Diego Garcia base in the Indian Ocean, just barely hitting the edge of the island and not the base itself. A near miss... again.
Iran has said they will not produce anything that can strike more than 2,000 km away but Garcia is just over 4,000 km.
Everyone, as if on cue, is now talking about the 'new calculus' bringing the whole of Europe into range of the Iranian war machine.
Israel loves this because it makes this war EVERYONE'S war and presents them as the defenders of Europe rather than it's scurge.
But what if these weapons, which again MISSED the TARGET, weren't fired by Iran but rather by Israel from one of it's submarines?
'Israel operates a fleet of German-built Dolphin-class submarines widely believed to be capable of firing nuclear-armed cruise missiles'
Is it possible that Israel launched several missiles at Diego Garcia in order to convince the rest of the world they need to be onboard with their Greater Israel ambitions?
