Satellite images show Iranian sites before and after US-Israeli airstrike damage

New satellite images offer a raw look at the devastation in Iran following US-Israeli strikes, while also revealing the damage left by Tehran’s retaliatory attacks in the region.

According to U.S. Central Command, which oversees U.S. military operations in the Middle East, U.S. forces struck more than 1,250 targets in the first two days of Operation Epic Fury.

Satellite images from Planet Labs captured burning ships and damaged facilities at the Konarak base in southern Iran, as well as extensive destruction at Iran’s naval headquarters in Bandar Abbas in the Persian Gulf, reflecting the scale of the strikes against military infrastructure.

Vantor footage shows Choqa Balk drone facility in the west Iran was hit, as well as damage to other key military and strategic sites targeted by the US-Israeli strike campaign.

Radar systems at Zahedan Air Base in eastern Iran – near the country’s borders with Pakistan and Afghanistan – were also hit.

The two facilities are approximately 800 to 900 miles apart, underscoring the vast reach of the coordinated strikes.

Additionally, satellite images from Planet Labs show thick plumes of smoke rising above Tehran, signaling explosions and fires in the Iranian capital.

The smoke underscores the extent to which the conflict has spread beyond isolated military sites and into the heart of Iran’s political center.

Iran responded with its own missile and drone strikes, widening the conflict across the region. Satellite images reveal damage in the port city of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. The city of Sharjah is the third most populous city after Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

The port of Jebel Ali, the region’s largest maritime hub, was also targeted, underscoring how retaliation has extended beyond military sites to key infrastructure.

The United States has warned that further retaliation could follow, with both sides signaling they are prepared for new rounds of strikes. Pentagon officials said U.S. forces in the region remained on alert and publicly warned that any further attacks on U.S. citizens would draw a forceful response.

With damage now visible from western Iran to the Persian Gulf, the coming days could determine whether the confrontation stabilizes – or escalates into a wider regional war.
