The Iranian military commanders are taking into consideration a preventive strike on a joint US-UK base on the island of Chagos located in the Indian Ocean in an attempt to discourage the president Donald Trump From the launch of a military attack against Iran, he said a telegraph report.
“Like any Iranian military threat, art is to determine what is bluster and what is real,” he told Fox News Digital of Fox News Digital of Behnam Ben Taleblu, an Iranian and senior expert of the Foundation for the defense of democracies.
“Deception is a propaganda tool used to strengthen deterrence and prevent a conventionally weak regime from having to fight,” he added. “Threatening everywhere, the regime He hopes that he does not have to fight anywhere, which means that his revolutionary foreign policy becomes unloped.

Fox News Digital was unable to independently confirm the threat of attack at the base of Diego Garcia, positioned about 2,400 miles south of Iran, but the Iranian security experts played the alarm that Tehran probably has, if not direct missile abilityOptions to position his arms that will allow him to hit more strategic interests.
Iran has a “auto-acting” range of about 1,200 miles on its ballistic skills, although it is suspected that the IRGC has a ballistic attack capacity to hit up to 1,800 miles away using its medium-range ballistic missile of Khorramshahr-2, Ben Taliblu explained in A Placed on x.
Tehran also has the updated version of the missile known as Khorramshahr-4, also defined as Kheibar missileThat it is suspected of being able to overcome the other options of Iran Strike Range, although the extent of its skills has not been completely tested.
But even if it is not able to hit an American target at about 2,400 miles from its southernmost border, Iran has proven to be smart when it comes to expanding its range of strikes, also through the use of merchant ships e oil tanker converted into warships To expand his long -range strike skills.

“There is always the possibility of using a foreign pressure container launched by a cruise missile also by an unconvented cistern ship or a commercial ship at sea”, explained Ben Taleblu in his place, referring to his use of Russian and Chinese cruise missiles following his war with Iraq in the 1980s.
In addition, Iran could again contact its close ties with terrorist networks to transfer missile skills to areas devastated by the war such as Yemen, which could allow him to hit south in the Indian Ocean about 800 miles.
“While all these options would make Iran’s launch platforms, especially at sea, easy objectives for a counter -member, mean that Tehran has options To hit further than expected, “said Ben Taliblu.
Trump in recent days has increased his threats against Iran and he has warned that there could be a direct conflict if he does not stop running the Houthi terrorist group, or stop its nuclear program.
But it is not clear at what level the United States would respond to a direct attack on its military, which could prove catastrophic for Tehran, given its defense skills revealed in front of strikes by Israel.
