Iran's ability to threaten ships in the Strait of Hormuz has been "degraded" after the US bombing of an underground military facility this week, US Central Command says. Two missiles have been launched at the joint US-UK military base Diego Garcia by Iran - neither hit their target. Could an Iranian missile reach Diego Garcia, our defence correspondent asks. A storage site for components used in missile manufacturing and a complex belonging to the Ministry of Defence responsible for producing rocket fuel were also struck. The IDF adds that it also struck several Iranian defence systems across Tehran.
