Hegseth says Iran has missiles that could reach London

Pete Hegseth says Iran has missiles that could strike London as he stressed that Tehran is a “threat to the world”. His comments come after two missiles were fired at the joint UK-US military base on Diego Garcia, an island in the Indian Ocean located approximately 4,000km (2,500 miles) from Iran. Speaking during a cabinet meeting on Thursday (26 March), the Defense Secretary said: “For years, they told the world that their missiles could only range two (thousand) kilometres. Surprise. Yet again, Iran lied.” “And to the world. I say London is 4,000km from Iran…So you’re telling us that Iran is not a threat to the world or to the US?”
