Iran Reported to Have Damaged US Military Facilities in the Middle East
According to a CNN investigation, Iran and its proxy groups are reported to have damaged at least 16 US military bases in eight Middle Eastern countries, including Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Oman. These attacks are a retaliation for US-Israel joint strikes that took place from February 28 to April 7. The investigation used satellite images and statements from US military sources, showing severe damage to facilities such as radar installations, communication infrastructure, and aircraft.
An unnamed US official confirmed significant damage, saying the targeted facilities had high strategic value. Another source stated the scale of destruction was unprecedented. Pentagon budget official Jules Hurst III reported conflict costs reaching 25 billion US dollars, while another source estimated the figure could swell to 40–50 billion US dollars.
US allied countries in the Gulf region are reported to be heavily affected and expressed concern over the handling of the conflict. A Saudi official stated this war shows that alliances with the US "are not exclusive and not unshakeable." This investigation underscores the widespread impact of the conflict on regional security and stability.
