A study has found that the US military infrastructure in the Middle East has been severely damaged in the ongoing war between the US and Iran.
Since February 28, Iran and its allies have attacked and damaged 16 US military sites in at least eight countries.
According to news reports, most of the military sites have been severely damaged, rendering some bases almost unusable.
The extent of the damage varies. Some sites have been completely destroyed and have to be closed, while others are considered strategically important and can be repaired and reused.
Based on satellite images, Iran has specifically targeted advanced US radar systems, communications systems and air assets.
This equipment is not only expensive but also cannot be easily replaced, which is said to have a direct impact on US military capabilities. According to experts, Iran appears to have chosen a cost-effective target, which has caused significant strategic damage to the United States with minimal resources.
According to senior US defense officials, the conflict with Iran has cost US taxpayers about $25 billion so far.
The incident has raised serious questions about the US military presence and strategy in the West Asia region. It has also complicated the regional security situation and signaled that the conflict could escalate further in the coming days.
