Recently released satellite images provide a bird’s-eye view of severe damage to the strategic Konarak base in southern Iran, as well as severe damage to Tehran’s naval headquarters in Bandar Bandar Bandar in the Persian Gulf.The images, released by Planet Labs and US space intelligence company Vantor, show precision strikes carried out by the US and Israel. Satellite images captured burning ships and damaged facilities, reflecting the scale of the attack on Iran’s military infrastructure.
In addition to Navy assets, satellite photos show a bunker at Bushehr Air Force Base was hit, leaving a large crater and destroying several small nearby buildings, Fox News reported. Other targets were the Choqabarq drone facility in western Iran. Radar systems at Zahedan Air Base in eastern Iran, near the country’s borders with Pakistan and Afghanistan, were also hit. The two facilities are approximately 800 to 900 miles apart.Satellite images further showed damage to aircraft parked on the tarmac of the Shiraz air base, with visible scorch marks and debris around several parking areas.
Images from Planet Labs also showed thick smoke rising over Tehran, indicating explosions and fires inside the Iranian capital. The smoke suggests the conflict has moved beyond isolated military installations and into the heart of Iran’s political center.Satellite images also showed damage to the United Arab Emirates’ port city of Sharjah, the country’s third most populous city after Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Jebel Ali Port, the region’s largest shipping hub, was also targeted, signaling that retaliation has expanded beyond military installations to critical infrastructure.The newly released satellite images come after U.S. and Israeli strikes killed Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and several senior members of the regime.US President Donald Trump warned on Sunday that Iran’s new leader, Mojataba Khamenei, “won’t last much longer” without US approval as Operation Epic Fury enters its third week.
