How Much Damage Did US-Israeli Strikes Inflict On Iran's Military Infrastructure? Published By, Last Updated: June 12, 2026, 17:09 IST US officials said they have struck more than 13,000 targets across Iran since the conflict began in February. Rapid Read Iran has sustained extensive damage due to US-Israeli strikes. The United States has struck thousands of targets in Iran since launching a devastating war on February 28 that sent shockwaves through the global economy. Recent satellite images have shown the damage caused to Iran’s military infrastructure from the coordinated strikes. Images analysed by the BBC show that more than 50 Iranian military bases, including the headquarters of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), have been heavily damaged in the US-Israeli strikes, with experts identifying damage to air force jets, warships and ballistic missile facilities. US officials said they have struck more than 13,000 targets across Iran since the conflict began in February. The initial salvo of strikes killed Iran’s former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other top Iranian officials.
Is Iran Rebuilding? Damage has been recorded at 51 military sites across Iran, including air bases, naval facilities and IRGC compounds. Runways and aircraft have been hit at over a dozen facilities to give the US an aerial advantage over Tehran, experts say. The US-Israeli strikes have also targeted Iran’s warships, with multiple vessels and buildings showing signs of damage during attacks on the Bandar Abbas Naval Base, the headquarters of the Iranian Navy. Images also showed extensive damage to the IRGC’s naval headquarters and its general headquarters in the eastern suburbs of Tehran.

However, some of the images appear to show that Tehran has been using the fragile April 8 ceasefire to conduct repairs to tunnel entrances at some key missile facilities. Photos appear to show that roads have been cleared of debris at Tabriz missile base.
Other tunnels damaged in the attacks appear to have been excavated with construction vehicles and heavy machinery nearby. How Has Tehran Hit Back? Meanwhile, Tehran has used small, cheap drones to strike infrastructure across the Middle East, including several US military sites in several Gulf countries. Experts say Iran’s fleet of small and fast vessels will allow it to continue to pose a threat to US forces. Several intelligence reports had indicated that Tehran still retains significant missile capacity and has been digging out entrances to its vital military facilities during the ceasefire. This prompted the US to seek limited satellite coverage of the region. However, Iran’s economic struggles could hamper efforts to fully rebuild military capability. “ran will be constrained by the amount of resources that they can deploy to rebuilding, because they will also have to address basic economic conditions," Kamran Bokhari, a senior fellow at the Middle East Policy Council, told the BBC. According to the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA), more than 1,700 civilians have been killed in Iran since the conflict began, although the figures have been contested by the US.
