Satellite Images Depict Iranian Naval Forces and Atomic Locations Damaged by Joint US and Israeli Strikes.

Multiple joint attacks has according to analysis destroyed or damaged at least 11 Iran's navy ships starting the weekend, freshly analyzed aerial photos demonstrate, with rocket sites and atomic facilities also coming under fire.

Pictures of the southerly Konarak naval naval base and the Bandar Abbas facility, which sits on the strategic Hormuz Strait and contains the headquarters of the Iranian navy, reveal smoke billowing from multiple vessels on Monday and Tuesday.

Naval Forces Sustained Significant Damage

Included in the ships sunk was the IRINS Makran, the country's biggest warship which had been used as a drone carrier. Satellite images displayed thick smoke pouring from the ship which had been moored at the Bandar Abbas naval base.

Intelligence evaluations indicate that no fewer than five ships at Bandar Abbas were "damaged or eliminated". Photos of the southern part of the harbor depict smoke rising from the Makran, while another pair of vessels are visibly harmed, with one clearly on fire.

Over at the Konarak base, images show numerous stricken ships, with intelligence reports identifying strikes against six vessels. Photos taken on Monday also demonstrate that a number of buildings at the base have been destroyed.

"For a long time the Tehran government has threatened commercial vessels," a senior US military official said. "Now, there is not one Iranian vessel underway in the Arabian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz or Sea of Oman, and we will not stop."

Some ships allegedly destroyed may have been hidden in satellite images by cloud or smoke, or targeted offshore, and have yet to be fully confirmed. Other accounts stated that one Iranian ship was foundering off the coast of Sri Lankan waters, resulting in a search and rescue mission.

Rocket Installations and Nuclear Locations Hit

The destruction of Iranian missile bases and the prevention of enrichment activities were listed as other objectives of the military strikes. Satellite images also revealed strikes on the southern Khorgu base and north-western Tabriz missile facilities, and at the Konarak base, where missile storage facilities and bunkers were hit.

At the Choqa Balk-e unmanned aircraft site west of Kermanshah, extensive destruction was observed to warehouses, underground facilities and drone launch equipment.

Damage was also observed at a radar installation at the Zahedan military airport in eastern parts of the country, close to the frontier with neighboring nations.

Significantly, the latest wave of strikes have reportedly targeted installations at Natanz – widely believed to be at the center of the country's nuclear programme. An international watchdog stated that the damaged structures were used for entry to the facility's below-ground enrichment facility and that "no nuclear fallout" was anticipated.

Wider Fallout and Analysis

Defense experts indicated that the offensive appeared to have "largely neutralized" the Iran's naval ability to carry out conventional attacks using its biggest vessels. Nevertheless, it was noted that Iran retains the option to launch asymmetric warfare at sea through the use of unmanned aerial vehicles, midget subs and its so-called "clandestine network" of oil ships.

The full scale of the destruction caused to Iranian military facilities has yet to be fully assessed, with attacks reportedly continuing. Pictures also reveals widespread damage to the command center of the the IRGC in the city of Tehran.

A large number of non-military structures also are reported to have been damaged in the capital city and throughout the country since the fighting escalated. Reports of deaths from inside Iran state that a high number of non-combatants may have been lost their lives in the bombardment.

As the situation develops, analysis of aerial photographs will persist to assess the unfolding scope of damage.
