Iran's missile and drone attacks on U.S. military bases in the Middle East have led to widespread damage to these bases. New images that have recently emerged show serious damage to buildings, vehicles, and aircraft at these bases.
Damage at Various Bases
Images obtained anonymously from active-duty soldiers show that there is serious damage at several U.S. military bases in the region. One soldier stationed at these bases stated: "This damage is very serious and has not been reported to the American people. We are currently just watching the destruction of the bases."

At Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, one of the images shows a direct hit to the rear section of a Boeing E-3 Sentry, with its tail separated from the burned fuselage. Additionally, other images from this base show severely damaged buildings and barracks located next to concrete "T-wall" barriers. These barriers are primarily designed for protection against threats such as grenades and artillery fire.
Widespread Damage in Kuwait and Other Areas
Images obtained from the Bureiha Camp in Kuwait, one of the main deployment areas for U.S. Army personnel, also show extensive damage. This camp is recognized as a key point for U.S. armored equipment and vehicles.
These images are released as the Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Defense has published a report estimating the damage to equipment from the war with Iran at up to $3.7 billion, which includes nearly 60 aircraft. In this report, the Inspector General stated that U.S. Central Command has noted Iran's attacks on its bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Oman, and Jordan.
The Pentagon has not responded to requests for comments on this damage. One soldier stationed at these bases told reporters: "These are not just minor damages; we are watching our bases being destroyed." He also referred to the attack on March 1 at the Shuaiba Port in Kuwait, which resulted in the deaths of six American soldiers.
Currently, this issue raises serious questions about the security status of U.S. military bases in the Middle East and the country's defense plans.
