Official confirmation of damage to US assets in the middle east/ NY Times
Iran has responded to the U.S.-Israeli assault on the country by launching drones and missiles at American targets across the Middle East, hitting embassies, killing U.S. soldiers, and damaging military bases and air defense infrastructure.
The New York Times has identified at least 17 damaged U.S. sites and other installations, several of which have been struck more than once since the war began. Our analysis is based on high-resolution, commercial satellite imagery, verified social media videos and statements by U.S. officials and Iranian state media.
The intensity of the retaliatory strikes has signaled that Iran was more prepared for the war than many in the Trump administration had anticipated, U.S. military officials say.
For this article, we are presenting satellite images to show the scale of the damage from Iran’s attacks on U.S. sites and installations. Many of these images have been circulating publicly on news sites and social media. But in cases where they have not been, we present the imagery we obtained from satellite image companies and show only a zoomed-out view of each location to limit the amount of detail viewable in those images.
Military sites
Iran has fired thousands of missiles and drones at both U.S. and allied country military sites across the region. The United States and its allies have intercepted most of them, U.S. officials say, but at least 11 American military bases or installations have been damaged — nearly half of all such sites in the region.
On Feb. 28, the first day of conflict, Iran targeted several U.S. military facilities, including Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia; Ali Al Salem Air Base and Camp Buehring Base in Kuwait; and Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, the largest U.S. base in the Middle East.
Satellite images show extensive damage to buildings and communication infrastructure at several locations.
Most countries in the Middle East have been begging for the U.S. to get the hell out of their countries for my entire life. In fact, the biggest CIA bogey man (Osama Bin Laden) is on record numerous time saying to get out of their holy lands. Maybe, just maybe, America will finally be forced into getting the hell out of these places they have never had any business being in in the first place. Again... if any country was setting up bases on American soil, how would we like it? It's time to wise up about this stuff and start looking at things from a different standpoint. Treat others the way we would like to be treated... it's a simple principle that Americans and American government forgot long ago...
"That's just propaganda!" the war-trolls will say and then go back to quoting Trump and his minions about how the war is going.
The NYT is a neocon deep-state mouthpiece; if they are publishing this, you can bet the actual damage is much worse.
