US restricts satellite imagery of bases amid damage reports

The US Department of Defense has requested commercial satellite imagery companies restrict public access to images of American military bases. This move comes as a group of members of Congress has pressed the Pentagon in recent weeks for more detailed information on the damage inflicted on US bases during the war with Iran, a request that has reportedly not been fully satisfied. NBC News reported today that the damage caused by Iranian attacks was far more extensive than what had been publicly disclosed, suggesting a significant gap between official statements and the actual scale of destruction.
