Iran’s strikes on US bases more destructive than publicly admitted: NBC News
Multiple officials say repairs from the Iranian strikes will cost billions, after attacks hit warehouses, command posts, hangars and radar systems.
- NBC News reported Saturday that damage to U.S. military bases in the Persian Gulf is far more extensive than publicly disclosed, with repairs expected to cost billions of dollars.
- U.S. officials and congressional aides revealed that Iranian missile and drone strikes targeted dozens of sites across seven countries—including Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait—causing "extensive" damage to command headquarters, runways, and high-end radar systems that was far worse than the government’s initial public acknowledgments.
- Massive Financial Impact: The cost to repair the damaged infrastructure and replace destroyed military hardware—including high-value early warning radars, MQ-9 Reaper drones, and fighter jets—is currently estimated to exceed $5 billion, though some analysts suggest the final bill for restoring full regional readiness could reach significantly higher.
