Damage to US bases in the Gulf region is massive- billions of dollars in damage.

Apparently, that damage also includes a number of KC-135 air refueling tankers destroyed while parked on the ground, with the rest of the KC-135 fleet withdrawn from the area.

WSJ says entire bases may have to be abandoned.

But….. Pentagon says no fatalities since opening salvos of the war.

I guess media isn't allowed anywhere near the actual fighting anymore.

Easier to bullshit the American citizens.

US media is content to reprint regime press releases.

Others use the peeky eye in the sky, in spite of the US regime's attempts to obstruct access.

Iran attacks damage 20 US military sites since start of war, satellite images show

While the White House has repeatedly claimed that Iran's military has been almost wiped out, analysts said that the damage seen at US facilities suggests that Tehran's counter-attacks have been more precise and extensive than American officials have previously acknowledged.

The US has sought to limit satellite analysis of the conflict by requesting Planet, a major provider, to impose an "indefinite" restriction on new images of Iran and most of the Middle East. The company justified the move, saying that it wanted to ensure its images were not used "by adversarial actors to target allied and Nato-partner personnel and civilians".

BBC Verify has used satellite imagery from other international providers combined with older images from Planet to track the damage caused by Iranian attacks. The facilities are in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar, Kuwait, Iraq, Jordan, Bahrain and Oman. The actual figure could be higher, with some analysts placing the number of bases hit as high as 28.
