Satellite Imagery Depict Iranian Navy and Atomic Locations Damaged by US-Israeli Strikes.

A series of American and Israeli airstrikes has reportedly sunk or crippled a minimum of eleven Iranian naval vessels since the weekend, new orbital imagery show, with launch facilities and enrichment plants also sustaining hits.

Photographs of the southern Konarak naval military port and the Bandar Abbas installation, which is located on the strategic Hormuz Strait and houses the headquarters of the Iranian navy, reveal plumes of smoke rising from several ships on the start of the week.

Naval Assets Incurred Substantial Damage

Included in the targets eliminated was the IRINS Makran, Iran's most sizable ship which had been used as a unmanned aerial vehicle platform. Satellite images showed dark plumes emanating from the vessel which had been moored at the Bandar Abbas naval base.

Intelligence reports indicate that at least five ships at the port were "damaged or eliminated". Photos of the south end of the port show plumes ascending from the IRINS Makran, while two other vessels seem to be damaged, with a single one seen burning.

At Konarak, images reveal numerous damaged vessels, with analysis pointing to strikes against a half-dozen warships. Photos taken on the start of the week also demonstrate that several structures at the base have been leveled.

"For a long time the Iran's leadership has threatened global maritime traffic," a senior US military official declared. "At present, there is not one Iranian vessel operational in the Persian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz or Sea of Oman, and we will persist."

Some ships allegedly destroyed may have been hidden in satellite images by weather conditions or battle damage, or hit in open waters, and have yet to be fully confirmed. Other accounts indicated that one Iranian ship was foundering near Sri Lankan waters, prompting a search and rescue mission.

Missile Bases and Nuclear Facilities Attacked

Neutralizing Iran's rocket sites and the stopping enrichment activities were declared as other objectives of the air campaign. Satellite images also revealed impacts against the southerly Khorgu base and northwestern Tabriz facilities, and at the Konarak base, where weapons bunkers and fortifications were hit.

Over at the Choqa Balk-e drone base west of Kermanshah, extensive damage was seen to warehouses, bunkers and drone launch equipment.

Damage was also noted at a radar installation at the Zahedan airbase airbase in eastern parts of the country, close to the frontier with Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Significantly, the new round of strikes have apparently targeted facilities at the Natanz complex – considered at the heart of the country's enrichment efforts. A global monitoring agency said that the damaged buildings were used for entry to the facility's underground nuclear plant and that "no nuclear fallout" was likely.

Broader Fallout and Analysis

Defense experts stated that the attacks appeared to have "significantly degraded" the Iranian navy's capacity to sustain conventional attacks using its largest vessels. But, it was noted that Iran maintains the option to launch irregular strikes at sea through the use of unmanned aerial vehicles, midget subs and its so-called "shadow fleet" of tankers.

The full extent of the damage caused to Iranian military infrastructure remains unclear, with strikes said to be persisting. Photos also indicates considerable damage to the command center of the Iran's Revolutionary Guards in the city of Tehran.

Numerous of public facilities also are reported to have been struck in the capital city and throughout the country since the conflict began. Reports of deaths from inside Iran suggest that a high number of non-combatants may have been fatally injured in the bombardment.

Amid continuing hostilities, analysis of satellite imagery will continue to document the changing scope of damage.
