When the Iranian missiles and drones came for the nerve center of America’s naval operations in the Middle East, some of them hit their mark.

The U.S. Navy base in Bahrain was repeatedly targeted between late February and June. Strikes that got through caused extensive damage, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of satellite imagery, social-media footage and interviews with current and former servicemembers—damage that the Pentagon hasn’t publicly acknowledged. Hit hard were the command headquarters and at least a dozen other buildings, along with two satellite communications terminals.

The military said no one was killed at the base, known as Naval Support Activity Bahrain, and that the strikes didn’t significantly impact operations. The U.S. evacuated most personnel but has kept a small staff on the ground.

The extensive damage done to America’s sole naval base in the Middle East—along with hits to at least 20 U.S. sites across the region, including military installations and diplomatic facilities—has the U.S. re-evaluating its entire footprint in the region, according to U.S. officials familiar with the deliberations.

The military is now considering revamping the base in Bahrain, reducing the U.S. presence in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia and moving some bases or base functions west, farther from the reach of Iranian missiles and drones, according to the officials familiar with the deliberations.

Structures that were attacked may not be rebuilt. Command and control nodes could be moved underground. And military capabilities could become more spread out across the region, the officials said, though they cautioned that no decisions had been made.

Israel is one of the locations being considered for basing, according to two of the officials. The country hosted dozens of U.S. aircraft, including jet fighters and refueling planes, during the war.

The U.S. government pressed commercial satellite imagery providers in April to restrict access to images showing destruction at American bases as well as the broader conflict zone, making it difficult to see the full scope of the damage. Officials said the move would help protect U.S. forces

😂🤣

Just look at all that damage above. No wonder trump demanded that Iran destroy its missile production capabilities during the outbreak of the war.

Fear and terror griped trump hard as he began to realise that very soon Iran will produce long-range ballistic missiles capable of reaching the U.S. homeland and hitting their main target. Chai!

You thought that was all? Nahhhhhhhhh!

Here are more images. Enjoy.

Propaganda Iran can't be allowed to develop nuclear weapons as long as we are here.

America has been exposed and taught a lesson to the fullest by Iran, they will never try to invade another country again


Just imagine what Donald trump would have done to countries like Colombia, Cuba, Greenland etc if he had succeeded in Iran


The capture of Nicholas Maduro of Venezuela gave him the hope that he can attack, invade and kill leaders of sovereign countries and nothing will happen

FTC.

I don't support any of them.

So whatever goes.

I lost FTC again

War should always be the last option and not a means to threaten and intimidate others.
Though to be fair, some circumstances may allow that intimidation.

Nairaland professors and geopolitical analyst will still argue this.

Iran gave the USA a bloody nose. America’s century-long image of unrivalled military superiority was, in my view, shattered within just three weeks. That helps explain why it was so eager for NATO to become directly involved in the war. Its NATO allies, meanwhile, appeared intent on demonstrating to Trump that America’s military power is far less formidable without NATO’s backing.

Hmmm war is never an option

Israel is more stronger and experience than America.

Israel lost no warplane and was never shot down upon all terrorising they did to Iranian leaders, military personnel and scientists.

COMRADES, these Nairaland pro Iranians, do you think if the US uses its might on Iranian militarily, would Iran survive? Anyway you guys should continue pushing Iran to her early grave

Israel has more experience in warfare than any nation. Followed by Ukraine and Russia. The rest a theoretical warriors

Propaganda! Iran has been decimated, Regime has been changed, Ballistic Program and Nuckear Program destroyed.

Tell us the Weapons or Aircraft America did not use on Iran, we will wait. The only thing left is Nuclear Weapon.

America will not back out if chances of Iran capitulating was high.
They underestimated Iran. The whole World did

Here's one for the culture 👇🏼

Nobody was able to stop them from acquiring Hypersonic Missiles, nobody stopped them from enriching to %60 Uranium purification.
Nobody can stop them from getting a Nuclear weapon. You don't even know if they already have.
The joke is on you.
Their Nuclear programme is intact and progressive

Oh! So you're quick to forget the human chain on your power plants and other critical infrastructure in Iran when middle fire power was about to be released then...abi?

Only an absolutely ignorant person will say this nonsense. How many of those attacks do you think Israel carried out themselves? Israel only knows how to blow up defenseless women and children.

Why do you think the first places Iran bombed was US bases in the region before they started sending missiles directly to Israel? Because those bases housed the anti aircraft missile launchers that would have intercepted most of Iranian missiles on their way to Israel. The moment those were destroyed, even almighty iron dome became iron condemn with the intensity and range of attacks.

Israel is nothing without the traitorous Arab nations and USA. Now everyone is trying to cut a deal with Iran while pushing Israel to the side because they all see now that the greatest threat to peace in the middle east is Israel.

Lol censorship na yourmate.

Save that.

You used your B2 bombers to attack they missile cities yet they were still firing missiles from there after few minutes.

No might again or is it continuous strike.
Or boot on ground which will be deadly.

So Iran suddenly does more propaganda than US and Israel.

I tell you. Maduro was just unfortunate that he was captured before the US-Iran war, had Iran been attacked first, US will be too exhausted to look the way of Venezuela.

How are they exposed?

I don’t think America has ever called itself invincible.

In war, no matter how big your army is, you’ll definitely take some damage, that doesn’t make you weaker than your adversary.

Your Israel had Samson option.
You obviously don't know about that or what it means

IRAN IS A NATURAL CURE TO AMERICAS MADNESS.


AMERICANS ARE "THIEVES" AND THEIR BROTHER IRAN IS "SARS"

Bro got all the time he needed to build a strong military but was slow.

We already knew that the damage was massive and costly across the gulf nations. Trump has seen what made the US presidents before him avoided needless war with Iran, he has learnt his lesson

Obedients are here again.....I can already smell them.

Regional government is now a MUST for Nigeria.
