Iran has damaged 20 US military sites since the start of the war, satellite images and videos analysed by BBC Verify show, suggesting the attacks are more extensive than publicly acknowledged.
Iran has targeted key facilities across eight countries in the Middle East since the end of February, causing millions of dollars of damage to state-of the-art air defence systems, refuelling aircraft and radars.
Tehran has targeted both US bases and shared military facilities in retaliation to the US-Israeli strikes across Iran and Lebanon over the past three months. The Pentagon says it has hit more than 13,000 targets in Iran since the start of Operation Epic Fury.
Mojtaba Khamenei, Iran's supreme leader, has sought to highlight his military's success in striking US facilities. In a statement on Tuesday he claimed the Middle East was no longer a "safe place" for American bases.

A US defence official declined to comment on BBC Verify's findings, citing "operational security reasons".
The US has sought to limit satellite analysis of the conflict by requesting Planet, a major provider, to impose an "indefinite" restriction on new images of Iran and most of the Middle East. The company justified the move, saying that it wanted to ensure its images were not used "by adversarial actors to target allied and Nato-partner personnel and civilians".
BBC Verify has used satellite imagery from other international providers combined with older images from Planet to track the damage caused by Iranian attacks. The facilities are in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar, Kuwait, Iraq, Jordan, Bahrain and Oman. The actual figure could be higher, with some analysts placing the number of bases hit as high as 28.

It’s not legitimate.
Oh, I don’t mean that bases haven’t been hit by Iranian rockets. Yes, it’s a war zone. However, you can see that this is clearly posted as propaganda.
Here how you can identify it:
1. No mention of the destruction in Iran based upon the same ‘multiple satellite imaging’
2. No mention of the civilian targets hit in non-combatant nations by ‘Iranian’ attacks.
3. No satellite discussions of the ‘Iranian navy’.
BBC is just as bad as most of the other world news services as a ‘Islamic Propaganda tool’. The reality is that the Iranians are already on their knees both militarily and economically. The question is going to be how long Trump keeps them there, and if he is willing to kill the ‘culture’ entirely.
I would prefer if they make peace.
BBC is enemy media. Their source in the article is some “think tank analyst”.
what a breathless pile of crap you’ve posted, dingleberry
The BBC?
That’s the UK’s CNN...same collective believability, but with much better accents.
Excellent response. The BBC is anti-USA and anti-Israel.
BBC legitimate? Excuse me? Did I hear correctly? Last time I heard it there was hardly an internet. Wake up!
The BBC is just another globalist propaganda organization.
A compassionate yet very naive sentiment.
FWIW, much of the pics shown happened early in the war and have been used in the media ever since. It is not obvious that Iran has the capabilities to mount the types of attacks any more
We better get our white flags ready- how long after our surrender can we expect occupation forces?
They should change the name from “Operation Epic Fury” to “Operation Pandora’s Box”
But dont speak too soon because the wheel is still in spin.
While it doesnt look like it, it is just more winning.
Trump is actually using a three dimensional chess strategy with sometimes 4th dimensional chess, and even the rare Twilight Zone Chess Strategy.
Farther along, we will know all about it. Farther along we will understand why.Cheer up, my brother, live in the sunshine,We’ll understand it all by and by.
“ I think this is legitimate, coming from BBC.”

Dude, you forgot to include a SARCASM TAG in that post.
Starmer has sent in the CLOWNS !
Run for your lives mates, the world wide caliphate is coming to a town near you !
BUahahahahahahahahaha!
A bunker buster on the House of Commons ?
These crazy commie Brits need a wake up from Farage.
I assume you left out the sarc tag. The TDS children at the BBC children cheerleading for Iran again.
YOU: I don’t like what’s being posted, so it must be a lie and so I’ll insult the OP.
BBC is trolling USA...
We’ve reduced Iran to rubble, and Iran’s thousands of missiles and drones did minimal damage to the region.
Get bent BBC!!!!
