BBC: Iran's strikes on American bases caused $800 million in damage to the US

This report emphasizes that the majority of the damage occurred in the first week of the conflict. Among the affected facilities were the American THAAD system at the base in Jordan and the AN/TPY-2 radar system, which is valued at approximately $485 million. Additionally, the Iranian strikes caused damage to infrastructure and buildings at American bases in the region, estimated at around $310 million, according to the BBC.

Analysis of satellite images indicates that Iran has repeatedly attacked at least three US air bases: Ali Al-Salem in Kuwait, Al-Udeid in Qatar, and Prince Sultan in Saudi Arabia. The BBC also notes that the repeated strikes suggest Iran's intention to target key military facilities.

In a closed briefing with senators, Pentagon representatives reported that during the first six days of the war, the US spent at least $11.3 billion, as reported by ABC News. The Washington Post added that in the first 48 hours of the conflict, the Pentagon used munitions worth $5.6 billion.
