Report says Iranian drone and missile strikes damaged 26 US-linked sites in West Asia

The Associated Press has reported that, through August, more than 115 Iranian drone or missile strikes damaged or destroyed structures on 26 military bases and other sites with US equipment in the West Asia region. The finding was based on satellite imagery from multiple providers and interviews with four regional officials who were briefed on the incidents or had firsthand knowledge of what was hit, according to the report.

The AP said it independently verified damage to American targets using the satellite imagery. The report did not provide a detailed breakdown of the individual sites or the extent of damage at each location.

The Mehr News Agency carried the report under the headline that Iranian missile and drone attacks had destroyed 26 US bases in West Asia. The AP account describes the affected locations as military bases and other sites with US equipment, rather than stating that all 26 were US-operated bases.

No further details were given in the source material on the timing of individual strikes, casualties, or official responses from US or regional authorities.
