Iran fired two ballistic missiles at Diego Garcia, a joint US UK base sitting in the middle of the Indian Ocean, 4,000km from Iranian soil.

A US destroyer fired an SM3 interceptor at the second, but the message landed regardless.

Iran's own Foreign Minister publicly claimed last month that Tehran had deliberately capped its missile range at 2000 km.

Iran just showed that number was a lie or has been quietly surpassed.

Firstly, and most obvious is the airfield.

The Runway you see runs nearly 3.6 kilometers long enough to operate the B52 Stratofortress and B2 Spirit stealth bombers.

The two aircraft the US uses for sustained long range bombardment.

Diego Garcia has served as a staging post for bomber missions across Asia and was used to launch two invasions of Iraq.

You don't need a carrier group if you have this Runway.

It puts every target from the South China Sea to the Gulf within the range.

The aircraft shelters visible alongside the apron are hardened structures designed to survive and keep aircraft operational through a strike.

The next likely target could be the naval harbor and the fuel farm.

The enclosed harbor holds surface combatants and pre positioned logistics ships.

Diego Garcia hosts nuclear submarines and guided missile destroyers.

What matters more are those large white circular tanks.

A bulk fuel storage farm that supplies every aircraft and vessel operating out of the base.

Destroy the fuel, ground the bombers, it's that simple.

However, the most important thing Iran will try to dismantle is the radomes.

One with two large domes, one with a field of nearly 10 smaller ones spread across a clear strip.

The large dome configuration matches a GEODSS ground based Electro optical Deep Space Surveillance installations confirmed by US Air Force documents.

The scattered array in image 4 is consistent with a Sagent SATCOM intercept field capable of pulling signals in intelligence and tracking objects across the Indian Ocean theater.

Iran has already proven that it knows how to go after such installations and infrastructure.

Iran's IRJC claimed it destroyed A high value ANFPS132 block 5 early warning radar in Qatar.

A system capable of tracking ballistic missiles up to 5,000 km away.

The radar was reportedly completely destroyed and in a precision missile strike, a claim corroborated by Qatari officials.

In Bahrain, a verified video showed an Iranian drone striking a radome at the US Navy's 5th Fleet headquarters in the UAE.

An ANTPY2 radar system estimated at $500 million appear to have been destroyed alongside its third battery.

It is trying to blind the US military, destroying the eyes that detect incoming missiles that coordinate intercepts that feed data to Thaad and Patriot batteries.

Diego Garcia's radome field is part of that same network, just positioned further out, watching a different arc of the sky.

It just proved it can reach there at its time of choosing.
