According to the Wall Street Journal, citing multiple U.S. officials, Iran has targeted the joint US-UK military base at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean with two intermediate-range ballistic missiles (IRBM). According to the report, one missile failed in flight whilst the other was engaged by a U.S. guided-missile destroyer utilizing an SM-3, but a successful interception was not confirmed. None of the missiles hit the base. This is notable as Iranian long-range precision fires have not previously been publicly assessed as having the range to hit such a target as Diego Garcia, as the base is some 4,000 kilometers from Iran.

The Khorramshahr-4 is likely the intermediate-range ballistic missile that Iran used in the attempted attack on Diego Garcia, which analysts had previously assessed may have a range of +4,000km, though it had only been proven at between 2,000-3,000km. Such an attack would suggest that the Khorramshahr-4, which can carry a cluster and other unconventional warheads, could be used by Iran to strike almost the entirety of Europe, possibly as far as France and the United Kingdom.

After three weeks of war, the Trump Administration has begun initial discussions on the next phase and what peace talks with Iran might look like, with talks involving Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Trumpโs son-in-law Jared Kushner, according to a U.S. official and a source with knowledge told Axios.
There has been no direct contact between the U.S. and Iran in recent days, though Egypt, Qatar and the U.K. have all passed messages between two countries, with Egypt and Qatar informing the U.S. and Israel that there is interest to negotiate from Iran.
โOur view is we've stunted Iran's growth,โ said one U.S. official who believes the Iranians will come to the table. The official said the U.S. wants Iran to make six commitments:
1. No missile program for five years.
2. Zero uranium enrichment.
3. Decommissioning of the reactors at the Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow nuclear facilities that the U.S. and Israel bombed last year.
4. Strict outside observation protocols around the creation and use of centrifuges and related machinery that could advance a nuclear weapons program.
5. Arms control treaties with regional countries that include a missile cap no higher than 1,000.
6. No financing for proxies such as Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen or Hamas in Gaza.
