Iran has caused a lot of damage to America, that too when it lacked air and naval resources. This is not us, this has been told to them through satellite images recently released by Iran. Iran has released more than 100 satellite images, in which at least 15 US military bases have been damaged. These also include 228 buildings and many equipments. In such a situation, America has suffered more loss than expected. Earlier, the Trump administration of America had declared its loss to be quite less.
The American resources that Iran has damaged include hangars, barracks, fuel depots, aircraft, radar, communication and air defense systems. The impact of the attacks was so much that all the military bases became useless. In such a situation, the cost of the war so far is estimated to be around 50 billion dollars.
According to the Washington Post, the satellite images that have been released show that the US has suffered losses. This is the most detailed account so far of the damage caused in the month-long war with Iran. No irregularities have been found in these photographs.

Iran caused major damage to these American military bases
The most damaged military bases are the headquarters of the US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain and three bases in Kuwait including Ali al-Salem, Camp Arifjan and Camp Buehring. Apart from these, there are expensive Patriot missile defense systems, power plants and five fuel storages. A satellite communications center at Qatar’s Al-Udeid airport and THAAD radar systems in Jordan and the UAE were also destroyed. An E-3 Sentry command and control aircraft has been destroyed at Prince Sultan Airport in Saudi Arabia. Apart from these, a refueling tanker has also been destroyed.
Apart from these, the US has lost 40 drones and fighter jets during search operations, friendly fire and war. These include 24MQ-9 Reaper drones. The cost of each of these is 30 million dollars. Also included are the valuable MQ-4C Triton. Its price is 200 to 240 million dollars. Four F-15E Strike Eagle aircraft have also been destroyed in the war so far. These pictures have shown that Iran’s attacks on more than 200 buildings were very precise. At least seven US soldiers have been killed since the conflict began on February 28. Six in Kuwait and one in Saudi Arabia, as well as 400 soldiers were injured.
The loss is double what the Trump administration estimated
It is believed that rebuilding America’s military bases and replacing equipment will cost approximately 40 to 50 billion dollars. The fifth generation fleet alone is likely to cost Rs 200 million. In such a situation, it is believed that America’s estimate of war losses is far from the reality. This time the Pentagon has asked for a budget of 1.5 trillion dollars for 2027. This is more than 42 percent compared to last year. This time the US economy is expected to suffer a loss of between $630 billion and $1 trillion.
