Two ballistic missiles were fired at the island of Diego Garcia, the Wall Street Journal and CNN reported overnight, citing unnamed US officials, but neither weapon reached its target.
One missile reportedly failed in flight, while the other was intercepted by a US warship. It is unclear when the missiles were supposedly fired.
The BBC understands the reports are accurate
The attack happened before the UK announced American forces could use British bases to launch strikes on Iranian sites targeting the Strait of Hormuz.
Meanwhile, Iran has said that its Natanz nuclear facility was targeted again.
