The majority of all US bases in the Middle East have been damaged by Iranian attacks. This is evident from research by the American news channel ‘CNN’, which speaks of “unprecedented devastation”.

This would involve at least sixteen American bases in eight different countries in the Middle East, including Jordan, Qatar, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates. “Some are virtually unusable,” according to ‘CNN’.
Camp Buehring in Kuwait, among others, has suffered heavily from weeks of Iranian drone and missile attacks. Where until recently cheerful karaoke evenings took place for the thousands of American soldiers stationed there, now only smoking ruins can be seen.
Radar systems
Iran’s targets appear to be aircraft (such as a Boeing E-3 Sentry at Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, worth: 500 million dollars), communications equipment and radar systems. The latter are “highly advanced, very expensive, difficult to replace and essential for air defense.”
According to one of ‘CNN’s sources, the scale of Iranian attacks is “huge” compared to what the US had to endure in Iraq and Afghanistan.
According to the Pentagon, the United States has now evacuated more than ninety percent of all troops in the region.
