UK Condemns Tehran Targeting US-UK Air Base

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Israel’s defense minister has threatened a surge in attacks against Iran and Britain condemned Iran for targeting a joint U.K.-U.S. base in the Indian Ocean. The Iranian attack on the Diego Garcia air base suggested that Tehran has missiles that can go far further than it had previously acknowledged — the base is about 2,500 miles from Iran. Meanwhile, an official Iranian news agency said the country’s Natanz nuclear enrichment facility was hit in an airstrike on Saturday, stressing there was no radiation leakage. The developments indicate the war in the Middle East shows no sign of abating as the conflict enters its fourth week.
