Iran strikes damaged US bases in the Middle East
According to BBC analysis, the strikes by Iran on US military bases in the Middle East caused approximately eight hundred million dollars in damage during the first fourteen days of the conflict. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
The majority of the losses occurred in the first week of the conflict as a result of Iran's retaliatory attacks. The report states that the greatest damage was recorded at the US airbase in Jordan.
The targets of the strikes included the THAAD missile defense system and the AN/TPY-2 radar. According to BBC data, the radar alone is estimated to be worth approximately four hundred eighty-five million dollars.
In addition, buildings and other infrastructure at US bases in the region suffered another three hundred ten million dollars in damage. Analysis of satellite images revealed that Iran struck at least three US airbases multiple times.
These bases are Ali Al Salem in Kuwait, Al Udeid in Qatar, and Prince Sultan in Saudi Arabia. According to BBC information, the repeated attacks indicate that Iran deliberately targeted important military facilities.
At the same time, US military expenditures have increased significantly. According to ABC News, Pentagon officials informed senators in a closed briefing that at least eleven billion three hundred million dollars were spent during the first six days of the war.
The Washington Post also reported that the Pentagon spent five billion sixty million dollars on ammunition during the first two days of military operations. These figures clearly show the economic damage of the conflict in the Middle East and the increase in military spending.
The continuation of military actions may further complicate the situation in the region. Additionally, this situation indicates the deepening tensions between the US and Iran.
