Iran's attacks changed America's presence in the region The Associated Press announced in an analytical report that Iran's attacks on more than 20 American bases in West Asia first focused on early warning systems and then targeted aircraft and buildings, causing billions of dollars in damage. The Associated Press independently verified the damage to US targets using satellite imagery from several different sources and spoke to four regional officials who had first-hand information or details about the targets. According to this analysis, by the end of August Iran had damaged or destroyed 26 military bases and other sites with American equipment. The Associated Press also confirmed that Iran initially focused its attacks on aircraft hangars and incoming attack detection systems, paving the way for subsequent attacks on warehouses, military quarters and more. - Link.
