Several papers are leading on a claim from Israel that Iran has developed ballistic missiles that could be capable of striking London. The Sunday edition of the Telegraph quoted the Israel Defence Forces (IDF), which said that the “Iranian terrorist regime poses a global threat” and pointed to Iran’s attempted attack on a US-UK military base in Diego Garcia earlier this week as evidence that it could now hit London, Paris and Berlin. The paper notes that the British public were not immediately informed of the attempted strike “despite the significance”, and says the government has still not confirmed the timing of the foiled attack.
