Iran’s Boosted Weapons Capabilities have Caused up to $15B in US Base Damage: Report
Iran upgraded missile and drone capabilities enough to cause as much as $15 billion in damages on US bases in the Middle East since the war began, according to a new report.
An analysis into the July 17 strike that killed three American service members at the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan revealed how well Iran has improved its tactics — to exceptionally devastating and costly degrees, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Unlike previous attacks, July’s nighttime assault directly targeted and hit 19 buildings specifically housing American troops as they slept, according to Journal sources and satellite analysis.
The data indicated that Iran’s aim was growing more precise, with Tehran hitting buildings that were smaller thany those it was able to strike at the start of the war.
The complexity of the attack signaled Iran’s capabilities had been improving, not diminishing, as the Trump administration claimed.
Iran’s heaviest assaults came at the start of the war, when it damaged at least 119 buildings across 13 installations within the first two weeks of the conflict. (Read more from “Iran’s Boosted Weapons Capabilities have Caused up to $15B in US Base Damage: Report” HERE)
