Several verified videos and satellite images confirms the claims made by Iran that it conducted successful strikes over the weekend and on Monday that damaged structures part of a near communication and radar systems on at least seven US military sites across the Middle East.
Visual shows damage on or close to mechanisms used to track incoming ballistic missiles, satellite dishes and radomes, which are weatherproof covers that protect sensitive equipment used by forces to communicate over long distances.
Iran has attacked the U.S. military’s communication capacity when it struck a Qatari base it hit again over the weekend. Strikes potentially affecting these systems also occurred on military facilities in Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates.
Video verified by the Times showed that an Iranian one-way attack drone struck a radome on Saturday in the U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain. The base is the United States’ primary hub for coordinating naval operations in the Middle East.
The satellite images obtained of Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar on Sunday afternoon showed that a tent surrounded by satellite dishes had been destroyed and some of the dishes most likely damaged. Al Udeid Air Base is the U.S. military’s largest air base in the Middle East, accommodating thousands of troops across an area of nearly six miles wide, and serves as the regional headquarters for the United States Central Command.
Similar images received from Kuwait also shows that at least three radomes have been destroyed and damaged in Kuwait. The Ali Al Salim Air Base in Kuwait has at least six buildings or structures adjacent to satellite communication infrastructures that are damaged and destroyed, according to the imagery captured on Saturday, on Sunday.
On Sunday night, the Islamic the IRGC announced that the Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia had been targeted with missiles and drones. The satellite imagery on the following morning captured a mile-long smoke plume rising from a building connected to the site. Satellite images confirms that the structure has been largely destroyed.
In lower resolution satellite imagery obtained from United Arab Emirates of a military installation just outside Al Ruwais in the United Arab Emirates on Sunday showed several structures were damaged.
The US has lost nearly $2 billion worth of military equipment amid its military operations against Iran since Saturday, according to estimates and data compiled by Anadolu.
The chief driver of the cost is a US AN/FPS-132 early warning radar system at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, valued at $1.1 billion. Qatar confirmed that the radar was hit and damaged.
On Sunday, 3 F-15E Strike Eagles were lost in a friendly fire incident by Kuwaiti air defenses. While all six aircrew survived, the planes did not; the cost of replacing them is estimated at $282 million.
Using open-source intelligence reports, the targeted SATCOM terminals were identified as AN/GSC-52Bs, which approximately cost $20 million, factoring in deployment and installation costs.
Iran also claimed to have destroyed the AN/TPY-2 radar component of the THAAD Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) System deployed at Al-Ruwais Industrial City in the United Arab Emirates. The destroyed radar component is estimated to be worth $500 million.
Combining these costs, Iran has damaged $1.902 billion worth of US military assets in the region.
Iran has so far targeted at least seven US military sites across the Middle East since the United States and Israel began striking Iran on Saturday: the US Fifth Fleet’s headquarters in Bahrain, Camp Arifjan, Ali Al Salem Air Base and Camp Buehring in Kuwait, Erbil Base in Iraq, the UAE’s Jebel Ali Port, the US Navy’s largest port of call in the Middle East, and Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar.
Camp Arifjan was the primary site where six US service members were killed. A widely circulated video recorded Sunday inside Camp Buehring in Kuwait showed a drone flying over the installation before exploding within its perimeter.

Footage and photographs confirmed by the New York Times suggested that Iran repeatedly targeted the military installation at Erbil International Airport in Iraq, where US forces are stationed, throughout Saturday and Sunday. Smoke and flames were visible rising from the area. By Sunday morning, satellite images showed that four structures in one section of the base had been damaged or destroyed, with fires still burning into early Monday.
In addition to the military bases, US diplomatic missions in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the UAE have also been a target of strikes.
BIG: Satellite imagery suggests Iranian strikes hit several U.S. missile-defense radar sites across the Middle East, including a $1.1 billion AN/FPS-132 early-warning radar in Qatar and AN/TPY-2 radars linked to THAAD systems in the UAE, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia.
