March 21 (Reuters) - ⁠Iran fired ⁠two ballistic missiles at ‌the U.S.-U.K. military base Diego Garcia in the ​Indian Ocean, the ⁠semi-official Mehr ⁠news agency reported on ⁠Saturday. The ‌Wall Street Journal ⁠reported earlier that Iran had ​launched ‌two intermediate-range ballistic missiles ⁠toward ​the base but that they did ⁠not hit it. Mehr ​said targeting the base was a "significant step ... ⁠that shows that the range of Iran's missiles is beyond ​what ⁠the enemy previously imagined".
