A new report details the extensive damage to U.S. military bases across seven Middle Eastern countries from recent Iranian attacks, with repair costs estimated in the billions of dollars. The attacks targeted warehouses, command centers, aircraft hangars, satellite communications, runways, and radar systems, damaging dozens of aircraft. Significantly, an Iranian F-5 fighter jet—a 1960s-era aircraft—successfully bombed Camp Buehring in Kuwait, marking the first time in years an enemy fixed-wing aircraft has struck a US base and contradicting earlier US claims that Iran's air force failed to deploy jets. Iran employed a mix of missiles, drones, and fighter jets in the coordinated strikes.
