What the 4,000 km missile launch reveals about Iran's intentions

The missile strike by Iran on the Diego Garcia base, about 4,000 km away, is seen by experts as a strategic message, not simply a military attack.

Iran is demonstrating that it still has capabilities and options in the conflict, even after weeks of attacks by the US and its allies.

The attack is considered a "show of force" to intimidate or deter opponents.

By targeting a far-flung base, Iran is demonstrating that it can strike strategic targets outside the Middle East. This increases the deterrent effect on adversaries.

The distance of around 4,000 km indicates a significant increase in the range of Iranian missiles. This means that even much more distant targets, e.g. in Europe, could theoretically be at risk.

The attack on Diego Garcia shows that Iran is willing to expand the conflict beyond its traditional region. The target was a key base from which the US conducts military operations.

The attack came amid a broader escalation of fighting in Iran. The Diego Garcia base is one of the most important points for US military operations in the region./CNA
