Iran fired two intermediate-range ballistic missiles at the UK-US military base on Diego Garcia in the Chagos Islands, with neither striking their target, after Prime Minister Keir Starmer authorized American forces to conduct further strikes from British bases. The Ministry of Defence condemned the Iranian attacks as "reckless," while critics and opposition parties called for parliamentary approval of the decision to expand US base usage beyond defensive operations.
