Satellite images suggest Iran's strikes more extensive than US acknowledged

18 hours ago

Iran has damaged at least 20 U.S. military sites across eight Middle Eastern countries since the end of February, as revealed by satellite imagery analysis.
Key damaged assets include THAAD anti-ballistic missile batteries, refueling and surveillance aircraft (like an E-3 Sentry), fuel bunkers, hangars, and communication hardware, with repair costs potentially reaching billions.
Iran's tactics have evolved from mass missile barrages to more precise, targeted attacks using cheaper, replaceable drones, aiming at high-value U.S. equipment.
The U.S. has imposed restrictions on satellite imagery of the region to prevent adversarial use, while analysts note early-war complacency in protecting assets.
Despite U.S. claims of decimating Iran's military, the damage suggests effective and extensive Iranian counter-attacks, with the conflict straining a fragile ceasefire.
