Tensions escalated in the Middle East on Saturday as Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz warned of a significant increase in attacks against Iran, while Britain condemned Iran’s targeting of a joint UK-US base in the Indian Ocean.
The Iranian attack on the Diego Garcia air base, approximately 4,000 kilometers from Iran, has raised concerns about Tehran’s missile capabilities, suggesting they may be more advanced than previously thought.
The attack on Diego Garcia, a strategic US-UK military base, marks a significant expansion of the conflict. Iran’s missiles, reportedly intermediate-range ballistic missiles, were intercepted by a US warship using an SM-3 interceptor, but it’s unclear if the interception was successful.
Meanwhile, Iran’s Natanz nuclear enrichment facility was hit by an airstrike, with no reported radiation leakage.
The Israeli military has not commented on the attack, but Iran’s official news agency reported the incident.
Katz’s warning comes after fragments from an Iranian missile landed near Tel Aviv, causing no casualties. The Israeli army has posted videos of the incident, showing the kindergarten building was empty at the time.
The situation remains volatile, with heavy airstrikes reported in Iran’s capital overnight. The international community is on high alert as the conflict shows no signs of abating.
