Iranian official warns Britain over Diego Garcia
An senior Iranian official Threatened that Britain will lose control of the strategic Diego Garcia Island in the Indian Ocean, affirming that the era of the Sykes-Picot Agreement has ended. The island hosts a joint military base between Britain and the United States, considered one of the most important military facilities in the region, providing an advanced logistical site for Western operations. Iran's threats came amid escalating tensions in the area, especially after Britain and Mauritius signed a treaty transferring sovereignty over the archipelago to Mauritius, while the American and British bases there continue to operate for 99 years. The region is experiencing military tensions, as Iran launched missiles at the base last March, though they did not hit their targets, as part of Iran's repeated escalation against Western military presence in the region.
