AP analysis says Iran’s strikes on more than two dozen U.S. bases in the Middle East targeted early-warning systems first, before hitting aircraft and buildings, leading to billions of dollars in equipment damage. The outlet independently verified impacts using satellite imagery and interviewed four regional officials with knowledge of what was hit. Through August, AP reports that more than 115 drone or missile strikes claimed by Iran or Iranian-backed militias damaged or destroyed structures on 26 military bases and other sites with U.S. equipment. Iran focused on systems that detect incoming attacks and aircraft hangars, setting up further strikes on warehouses and troop housing. Separately, Iran’s supreme leader threatened a response with no “geographic limits,” while mediators were working to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz in two days.
