Iranian airstrikes have damaged or destroyed at least 228 structures across bases or sites used by the U.S. military since the war began, hitting hangars, barracks, fuel depots, aircraft, and key radar, communications and air defense equipment, according to a Post analysis of satellite imagery.
The amount of destruction is far larger than what has been acknowledged by the U.S. government or previously reported.
For this examination, The Post reviewed more than 100 high-resolution Iranian-released satellite images. The Post verified the authenticity of 109 of those images by comparing them with lower-resolution imagery from the European Union’s satellite system, Copernicus, as well as high-resolution images from Planet, a major U.S. commercial provider, when available.
A military spokesperson disputed the characterization of base damage by experts as extensive or evidence of failures, saying assessments of destruction are complex and can be misleading in some cases, but declined to provide specifics.

The United States are abandoning another ally: “We will not defend Taiwan, and we are halting weapons deliveries to the island because they themselves want to start a war against China,” Trump.
This exactly the same rhetoric Trump used against Ukraine: “You don’t start a war against somebody that’s 20 times your size, and then hope that people give you some missiles.”
Exclusive: A confidential CIA analysis concludes that Iran can survive the U.S. naval blockade for at least three to four months before facing more severe economic hardship, people familiar with the document said. https://t.co/qDn1t7Eiw2
Scientists have created one of the most detailed 3D reconstructions of a human cell (eukaryotic cell) ever produced.
This groundbreaking model, often termed a "Cellular Landscape Cross-Section Through a Eukaryotic Cell," combines data from X-ray tomography, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and cryo-electron microscopy to map molecular structures in extreme detail.
Japan’s Former PM Shigeru Ishiba criticized PM Sanae Takaichi’s policies, warning Japan relies too heavily on the US and risks conflict with neighbors.
He questioned, “Is relying only on the US-Japan alliance such a wonderful thing?” and stressed Japan must keep dialogue with China because they “can’t move away.”
He also warned current policies could “inevitably hit a wall” and, if unbalanced, risk escalating tensions toward “a real Third World War.”
