Coming soon.... Boots on the ground.

The missile that hit Diego Garcia did not have much of a blast, so a theory I have heard is they got extra range by removing the warhead.
That would, indeed, improve the range. Like Hitler's V-1 and V-2, Iran is using it as a terror weapon, not necessarily to do maximum damage.

My understanding is that both missiles failed to reach their target.

  • U.K. minister Steve Reed says Iran’s missiles failed to reach the Diego Garcia base in the Indian Ocean.
  • Iran targeted Diego Garcia with a two-stage intercontinental ballistic missile, Israel’s military said Saturday.

Iran is urging them to “come closer”

They claim they have been planning this for 47 years!
