The Telegraph called Iran's strike on the Diego Garcia base a warning to London.

The Iranian missile attack attempt on the British-American Diego Garcia base in the Indian Ocean is a warning to the United Kingdom. This was reported on March 22 by The Telegraph newspaper, citing sources.

"Tehran has already developed intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of hitting London. This followed an attempted strike on the joint British-American Diego Garcia military base on the Chagos Islands, 2,400 miles from Iran," the publication said.

It is noted that despite Iran's unsuccessful attempt, they may happen again. Meanwhile, the UK is not ready to repel these attacks. According to the newspaper, Britain still has Bloodhound missiles from the Cold War, which are not capable of stopping such strikes today, and destroyers. In addition, the British, according to The Telegraph, do not have air defense systems.

"The UK does not have a ground-based air defense system capable of intercepting ballistic or hypersonic missiles. Seven batteries of the army's Sky Sabre missile systems were created primarily to intercept fast jet aircraft, attack helicopters and laser-guided missiles," the publication emphasized.

The newspaper added that the UK's security would depend on its NATO allies in Europe.
