Photo: Destruction at US bases after Iranian attacks

CBS News has published photos showing the aftermath of Iran's missile and drone attacks on US bases in the Middle East. The images of the destruction were sent to the publication by active-duty military personnel on condition of anonymity.

One of the photos shows a Boeing E-3 Sentry aircraft hit at the Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia — the tail section of the plane is severed. Other destruction at the base is also visible.

Meanwhile, photos from the US troops' Camp Buehring in Kuwait depict a blown-up vehicle, destroyed barracks, and trailers.

At Camp Arifjan in Kuwait, the upper floors of one of the buildings were burned down as a result of an Iranian strike.

Iran's attack on US bases in Kuwait was reported by the Persian TV channel Press TV on September 3.

On September 9, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced that it had launched a missile strike on the US-operated Al-Azraq Air Base in Jordan. The IRGC claimed that these attacks targeted hangars housing F-35, F-16, and F-15 fighter jets, causing serious damage to the enemy.

The following day, US President Donald Trump said in an interview with News Nation that no US military aircraft were damaged in the attack on the Jordanian base.

This week, the Pentagon released a new report on the war with Iran, noting $3.7 billion in damages during the hostilities, including about 60 aircraft put out of service. In the report, the US Central Command reported Iranian strikes on US bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Oman, and Jordan.
