Images show heavy damage from Iran strikes targeting US bases: report

Images show significant damage from Iranian strikes targeting U.S. military assets in the Middle East, according to CBS News. The undated images were taken at a base in Saudi Arabia and two facilities in Kuwait. A Pentagon inspector general report said CENTCOM reported widespread damage to U.S. facilities and equipment, and the Defense Department estimated war costs at $33.4 billion as of June 29.

CBS said the undated images were provided by American personnel on condition of anonymity because of U.S. military restrictions.

CENTCOM said Iranian strikes damaged and destroyed hundreds of buildings and structures at U.S. bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Oman and Jordan.

The report said dozens of U.S. aircraft were destroyed or damaged during the war.

The Defense Department estimated the cost of the war at $33.4 billion as of June 29, excluding infrastructure repair costs.

WASHINGTON — A destroyed aircraft, shredded tents, trailers that have been ripped apart: images taken by U.S. troops show significant damage from Iranian strikes targeting American military assets in the Middle East, CBS News reported.

The undated images — taken at a base in Saudi Arabia and two facilities in Kuwait — were provided to CBS by American personnel on condition of anonymity due to U.S. military restrictions, the outlet said late Tuesday.

"This is major damage to our bases that hasn't been communicated to the American public," CBS quoted one U.S. service member as saying.

"We're standing there with our eyes closed getting punched in the face," the service member added.

The Pentagon's inspector general released a report earlier this week that said the military's Central Command (CENTCOM) — which is responsible for U.S. forces in the Middle East — had reported widespread damage to American facilities and equipment.

CENTCOM said Iranian strikes "damaged and destroyed hundreds of buildings and structures at U.S. bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Oman, and Jordan," the report said.

"In addition, dozens of U.S. aircraft were destroyed or damaged" during the war, the report said.

The Defense Department estimated the cost of the war at $33.4 billion as of June 29, but that figure "does not include costs for infrastructure repairs," according to the report.

The U.S. and Israel launched the war against Iran on February 28, with President Donald Trump saying the goal was to prevent the Islamic republic from obtaining nuclear weapons — which Tehran denies it is seeking.

Iran retaliated with attacks across the region and blockaded the Strait of Hormuz, through which one-fifth of world oil supplies previously flowed — a move that has sent oil prices soaring and caused global economic fallout.

美国中央司令部称，伊朗的袭击破坏并摧毁了位于科威特、巴林、卡塔尔、阿联酋、沙特阿拉伯、伊拉克、阿曼和约旦的美国基地的数百栋建筑物和构筑物。

报告称，战争期间数十架美国飞机被摧毁或损坏。

截至6月29日，美国国防部估计战争成本为334亿美元，还不包括基础设施修复费用。

华盛顿——据哥伦比亚广播公司新闻报道，美军拍摄的画面显示，伊朗对美国在中东的军事资产发动袭击，造成严重破坏，包括被摧毁的飞机、被撕碎的帐篷和被撕裂的拖车。

据哥伦比亚广播公司（CBS）周二晚间报道，这些未注明日期的照片——拍摄于沙特阿拉伯的一个基地和科威特的两个设施——是由美国人员在匿名的情况下提供给CBS的，因为美国军方有此限制。

“这是我们基地遭受的重大破坏，但美国公众却对此一无所知，”哥伦比亚广播公司援引一位美国军人的话说。

“我们站在那里，闭着眼睛，任由别人朝我们脸上打拳，”这名军人补充道。

五角大楼监察长本周早些时候发布了一份报告，称负责驻中东美军的中央司令部（CENTCOM）报告称，美国设施和设备遭到大范围破坏。

报告称，美国中央司令部表示，伊朗的袭击“破坏并摧毁了美国在科威特、巴林、卡塔尔、阿联酋、沙特阿拉伯、伊拉克、阿曼和约旦的基地内的数百栋建筑物和构筑物”。

报告称，“此外，战争期间数十架美国飞机被摧毁或损坏”。

报告称，截至 6 月 29 日，国防部估计战争成本为 334 亿美元，但该数字“不包括基础设施修复的成本”。

美国和以色列于2月28日对伊朗发动战争，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普表示，战争的目标是阻止伊朗伊斯兰共和国获得核武器——德黑兰否认其正在寻求核武器。

伊朗随即发动袭击进行报复，并封锁了霍尔木兹海峡。此前，全球五分之一的石油供应都要经过霍尔木兹海峡——此举导致油价飙升，并引发了全球经济衰退。
