American military installations in the Middle East have been severely damaged by Iranian attacks.

According to photos and videos obtained by the American media, American military bases in the Middle East have been severely damaged by Iranian attacks, while the Pentagon is assessing the damage of the war started by the United States more than 6 months ago.

According to the report, the photos show destroyed buildings and 1 aircraft at 3 military bases in Kuwait and 1 base in Saudi Arabia where US military assets are located, some of these bases have also been evacuated.

A photo shows an E-3 Sentry surveillance aircraft damaged in late March at Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, worth an estimated $270 million, the report said.

According to ABC News, a senior US military official said on condition of anonymity that these bases are irreparably damaged and if we decide to rebuild them, it will be a decades-long task.

The military official accused the Pentagon of a lack of transparency, saying that drone strikes and ballistic missile attacks are directly targeting bases every day.

A report released by the Pentagon’s inspector general on Monday indicated that hundreds of buildings and facilities were damaged.

The watchdog estimated the cost of the war at $33 billion, while the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office put the cost at $38 billion.

According to the US Department of Defense, 18 US soldiers have been killed and 824 wounded since the war began on February 28. The deadliest attack occurred on the second day of the war, when six US soldiers were killed in Kuwait.

U.S. Defense Secretary Pat Hegseth has said that protecting troops and military installations is a top priority, but acknowledged that some Iranian weapons are able to penetrate U.S. defense systems.
