Report Claims Wider Damage to US Military Bases from Iranian Strikes
(MENAFN) Iran has reportedly caused more extensive damage to US military installations across the Middle East than previously acknowledged, according to reporting cited by NBC News and based on unnamed sources.
The report states that retaliatory strikes linked to Iran targeted US facilities in several countries in the region following the escalation involving the United States and Israel on Feb. 28. The damage is described as significantly more severe than public assessments have indicated, with potential repair costs estimated in the billions of dollars.
According to the same reporting, affected sites include a range of military infrastructure such as storage facilities, command centers, aircraft hangars, communication systems, runways, radar installations, and aircraft assets.
US defense authorities have not publicly detailed the full scope of the destruction. The US Central Command has declined to provide official assessments regarding the extent of battlefield damage.
The report also notes internal frustration among some US lawmakers, who have reportedly pressed defense officials for clearer information on the impact and cost of repairs, without receiving detailed responses.
Some congressional aides were quoted as saying that repeated requests for specifics have gone unanswered despite broader budget discussions within the defense establishment.
The situation has reportedly sparked renewed discussion about the strategic risks of maintaining US military bases in close proximity to Iran and other regional adversaries, particularly in light of escalating tensions and ongoing military exchanges.
