UK Defence Secretary John Healey claimed on Monday that Iran fired two missiles at the joint UK-US Diego Garcia military base in the Indian Ocean on Friday.
Speaking to British parliamentarians, Healey said: "In the early hours of Friday morning, two Iranian missiles were launched in the direction of Diego Garcia.
"One fell short of its target, the other was brought down short of its target.
"Neither got close to Diego Garcia. The UK was not required to take action and normal operations continue."
Tehran denied that it fired the missiles.
