Middle East crisis live: Iran hits Israeli town housing nuclear facility in retaliation for Natanz strike

Iran’s atomic energy organisation accuses the US and Israel of hitting Natanz enrichment complex but says ‘no leakage of radioactive materials’

Circling back now to Diego Garcia, Iran fired two intermediate-range ballistic missiles at the joint US-UK military base in the Indian Ocean – but neither of them hit, according to news reports citing US officials.

The Wall Street Journal said one of the missiles failed in flight, and that a US warship fired an SM-3 interceptor at the other, citing two US officials. It could not be determined if an interception was made, one said.
