U.S. military facilities in 16 locations across 8 Middle Eastern countries damaged in Iran attack

CNN reported on the 1st that, since the U.S. launched military operations against Iran, at least 16 military facilities in the Middle East across 8 countries where the United States is deployed have been damaged in attacks by the Iranian side, with some facilities actually rendered unusable. The investigation report is based on dozens of satellite images and interviews with multiple informed sources from the United States and Gulf Arab countries. According to a U.S. congressional aide familiar with the damage assessment, most of the U.S. military deployment sites in the Middle East have been affected. “There are differing assessments among all parties regarding the battle damage. The more pessimistic view is that some facilities have been completely destroyed and need to be shut down. Some people at the leadership level believe these facilities still have strategic value and are worth repairing.” (Xinhua)
