Iran Caused More Damage To US Bases Than Trump Officials Admitted, Repairs May Cost Billions: Report
US military bases in the Gulf region suffered more extensive damage from Iranian strikes than publicly disclosed, with repairs expected to cost billions of dollars. The US Defence Department has not shared full details about the damage caused by the Iranian strikes.
US military bases in the Gulf region were more extensively damaged by Iranian strikes than initially reported. The strikes, which began on February 28, hit multiple facilities in at least seven countries, including warehouses, command centres, and aircraft hangars. The damage also included runways, radar systems, and some aircraft, critical for military movement and surveillance. Despite advanced US air defence systems, vulnerabilities were exposed, including an instance where an Iranian F-5 fighter jet penetrated defences. The cost of repairs is expected to be in the billions, potentially reigniting debate over US military presence near adversaries like Iran. The Pentagon has not detailed the extent of the damage publicly, with the US Central Command declining to comment.
