Iran’s targeting of the Diego Garcia base tonight, located about 4,000 km from its territory, reveals that the range of its missiles far exceeds what it has officially acknowledged.

Iran fired a pair of intermediate-range ballistic missiles at Diego Garcia, a joint U.S.-UK base in the Indian Ocean.
One missile failed in flight, and another was engaged by a US Navy destroyer using an SM-3 missile.

Bigger story here: implied range of an Iranian IRBM from a launch box in central Iran, with a range of ~4500 km (distance to Diego Garcia).
Theoretically could also target sites into Central Europe.
There’s a reason why the U.S.com/NATO parked what is effectively an Arleigh Burke class DDG in a Romanian field.

The Islamic Regime fired two ballistic missiles at Diego Garcia today. Neither missile hit the island.
Diego Garcia is 4,000 km from Iran. It was not believed prior to today that Iran had missiles that could reach targets that far away.
Every major city in Europe is less than 4,000 km from Iran.

Let me explain the four major differences between leftwing political violence and rightwing political violence:
1. Rightwing violence comes from the fringes of the conservative movement. Leftwing violence comes from the mainstream of the progressive movement.
2. Conservatives rarely encourage or glorify rightwing violence. Progressives routinely encourage and glorify leftwing violence.
3. Leftwing violence is such a common event that we hardly take notice of it unless it involves assassinating a major political figure--think of how routine Antifa/BLM style destruction of our cities has become. Rightwing violence is notable in its rarity.
4. Leftwing violence is often falsely attributed in the mass media to conservative beliefs. The opposite never happens.
.@FLOTUS @MELANIATRUMP announced the expansion of the @WhiteHouse honey program with the addition of a newly installed and fully functioning beehive on the South Lawn.
Hand-crafted by a local artisan in the image of the White House, the beautiful, new hive will add two new bee colonies to the existing two colonies that already produce the signature White House honey. 🍯 🐝
