Diego Garcia Missile Attack a Israeli False Flag

In a plot to draw Europe into the war against Iran.

Two ballistic missiles were fired on March 20 against the American and British military base on Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. Iran denies any involvement and points to Israel as the originator of what Tehran calls a fabricated accusation.

The attack was confirmed by British Defense Secretary John Healey. One missile crashed before reaching its target; the other was shot down by an American naval vessel. Neither struck the base on the Chagos Islands, a British Overseas Territory that hosts one of the United States’ most important strategic outposts in the Indian Ocean.

Israel immediately pointed to Iran as responsible. But NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte refused to endorse the claim – a silence Tehran quickly noted.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei commented on X:

— The fact that even NATO’s Secretary General refrains from confirming Israel’s latest disinformation speaks for itself: the world has become utterly exhausted by these tired and debunked false flag stories.

British Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper condemned what she called Iran’s “reckless threats” – but also stressed that Britain had “taken a different position from the US and Israel” on the matter.

Netanyahu seeks to draw Europe into the war

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu used the attack to pressure European leaders. In a statement, he claimed the missiles were intercontinental and covered 4,000 kilometers.

— They fired an intercontinental ballistic missile at Diego Garcia. That is 4,000 kilometers. I have been warning about this all along. They now have the capacity to reach deep into Europe.

— It is time for the leaders of other countries to join.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi disputed Netanyahu’s characterization. According to him, Iran has deliberately limited its missile range so as not to be perceived as a regional threat:

— We have deliberately limited ourselves to a range of under 2,000 kilometers because we do not want to be perceived as a threat to anyone else in the world.
