The problem with this is that all other US Airbases in Europe and the Middle East are extremely closer to Iran than Deigo Garcia.
This has to be something else, not just Iran.
Yes, closer to Iran ... and any other missile systems in the area. Being out in Deigo Garcia gives them a serious buffer from attack.
The distance is irrelevant when we have tankers to meet them along the way.
Fly over issues perhaps?
nuke warhead flyover issues 💀
Not every airbase everywhere is capable of supporting all types of aircraft though.
