War Secretary Hegseth Warns Iran Has Missiles That Can Strike London

Without explicitly naming Diego Garcia, Hegseth said: “Two days ago they [Iran] shot two failed missiles on a target 4,000km away. For years, they told the world that their missiles could only range [2,000] kilometres. Surprise. Yet again, Iran lie.”

He continued, “And to the world. I say London is 4,000km from Iran. Washington DC is 3,300km from Venezuela, another country President Trump did something about, which partnered for a long time with Iran. So you’re telling us that Iran is not a threat to the world or to the US? President Trump knows better.”

This week, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei ordered that the stockpile of enriched uranium “should not leave the country,” rejecting the key demand of President Donald Trump in ongoing peace talks.
