The Pentagon Has Been Hiding Iran's Damage To US Bases
The Pentagon told commercial satellite companies to hide the damage that Iran's done to American military bases, and we just got our first real look at what they were hiding.
A new Washington Post investigation analyzed over 100 high -resolution satellite images released by Iranian state media, and they verified them using a European satellite system that the U .S.can't censor.What they found was at least 220 buildings, vehicles, aircraft, and pieces of equipment that were destroyed or damaged at 15 U .S.military bases across the Middle East.
So we're talking about living quarters for troops, fuel storage, hangars, Patriot air defense systems, radar arrays, and a satellite communications hub at the largest U .S.base in the Middle East.even destroyed an E3 surveillance plane that the Air Force kept parking in the same exposed spot on the runway until Iran finally hit it.And seven U .S.
service members have been killed at these bases since the war started, and over 400 have been wounded.The HQ of the entire Fifth Fleet has been so badly damaged that the headquarters relocated to Florida and may never return.And you had experts tell in the Post that the Iranian strikes were precise, saying no random craters indicating misses, and that's because Russia's been giving Iran intelligence on U .S.targets.And as far as the Pentagon's response to all this, they pushed back, calling the assessment misleading, but they declined to give specifics.
