Iranian airstrikes have damaged or destroyed at least 228 facilities or pieces of equipment at American military bases in the Middle East since the beginning of the war, reports The Washington Post.

The publication writes that the strikes targeted hangars, barracks, fuel and lubricant storage facilities, aircraft, as well as key radar, communication, and air defense installations. The extent of the destruction far exceeds what has been publicly acknowledged by the US government or previously reported.

“Due to the threat of aerial attacks, some American bases in the region have become too dangerous to accommodate the usual number of personnel, and at the beginning of the war, the command relocated most of the personnel from these facilities beyond the reach of Iranian forces,” the newspaper emphasizes.

Seven American servicemen were killed in the strikes, and at least 12 were injured, the author of the article noted.
