- Iranian strikes have caused extensive damage to 20 US bases across West Asia, many completely destroyed or rendered inoperable.
- The CIA and other US spy agencies have confirmed that their sites were struck, amounting to billions of dollars in damage to American intelligence facilities and equipment.
- A US defence official and a NATO official divulged that there is a beyond critical shortage in Patriot air defence munitions.
- The shortage in the MIM-104 Patriot missiles is attributed to the war on Iran, which has weakened the security of the US and its allies.
- With some 80% of US THAAD air defence munitions already used, this represents a disaster that limits US military power.
The damage inflicted to US military and intelligence sites by Iranian strikes has been far more extensive than previously believed.
Satellite imagery and independent investigations reveal that 20 US bases across West Asia have suffered extensive damage, with many completely destroyed or rendered inoperable.1
The CIA and other US spy agencies confirmed that their sites were struck, resulting in billions of dollars in damage to American intelligence facilities and equipment.2
In light of these developments, a US defense official and a NATO official disclosed that there is a "beyond critical" shortage of Patriot air defense munitions.3
This shortage is attributed to the ongoing war with Iran, which has significantly weakened the security of the US and its allies.
Moreover, approximately 80% of US THAAD air defense munitions have already been utilized, alongside a substantial portion of the military's long-range standoff munitions, creating a dire situation that limits US military power.5
“The shortage stems from the war on Iran, with 80% of US THAAD munitions already used, limiting US military power. Damage to US bases and intelligence facilities amounts to billions of dollars, confirmed by CIA and other spy agencies.”
