Iran’s strikes on US military bases across the Middle East partially destroyed key equipment and infrastructure in several regional countries, with notably heavier damage reported in Kuwait.

Most of the attacks were intercepted by host-nation air defences, and the bases remain operational.  Here is a quick overview of the reported damage to US military bases in key regional countries:

Kuwait

Satellite imagery from Planet Labs confirms infrastructure damage at the US Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait following Iranian strikes since February 28, including to over a dozen structures, aircraft shelters, and areas near runways.

At least six satellite communication radomes at Camp Arifjan, a key US logistical hub in Kuwait, were destroyed, likely impacting US Central Command networks, according to reports. The site, along with Camp Buehring, sustained damage from missile strikes, featuring multiple craters and burnt areas near facilities.

An Iranian drone strike on a US makeshift command centre near Kuwait’s Shuaiba Port killed six US Army Reserve soldiers on March 1.

The Kuwaiti Ministry of Defence said on Friday that it had intercepted hundreds of drones and missiles since the start of Iranian attacks on the country.

While air defences destroyed the majority, some incidents caused casualties and damage to facilities.

Bahrain

Bahrain National Communication Centre confirmed a missile attack on the US Fifth Fleet’s service centre in capital Manama’s Juffair area around February 28. Imagery indicated significant damage to radomes, warehouses and communication terminals. The Bahrain Defence Force said on Tuesday that its air defences have intercepted and destroyed 105 missiles and 176 drones launched against it by Iran.

United Arab Emirates

Satellite imagery indicates Iran’s attacks on Al Dhafra Air Base, located south of Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), caused significant damage to infrastructure. A compound, satellite systems and radar equipment were damaged, but the base remains operational, according to reports. Iran also targeted the Jebel Ali Port in Dubai on March 1, a strategic hub for US navy. The extent of US military losses remains unclear.

UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan said on Saturday the country is effectively “in a state of war.” The UAE’s Defence Ministry said on Tuesday that its air defines systems have detected 262 ballistic missiles, 1,475 drones and eight cruise missiles since the start of what it described as Iranian attacks.

Qatar

Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, the largest US military command centre in the Middle East, has been hit by multiple missile and drone attacks since February 28, including from Iran. While Qatari defences intercepted many threats, at least one missile or drone impact was reported, causing explosions, though no official casualties have been confirmed. Some media reports speculated that the main facility damaged at Qatar’s Al Udeid Air Base may be the AN/FPS-132 long-range ballistic missile early-warning radar, valued at about $1.1 billion. This critical radar provides early detection of long-range threats for US missile defines.

Jordan

Iran’s Tasnim News Agency reported on Saturday that an Iranian strike destroyed a 300-million-dollars AN/TPY-2 radar system, a key component of the US Terminal High Altitude Area Defence (THAAD) system, at Jordan’s Muwaffaq Salti Air Base. CNN previously reported that satellite images from March 2 confirmed the radar was destroyed in the initial days of US-Israel joint airstrikes.

Munitions specialist N.R. Jenzen Jones from Jordan said the loss of even a single AN/TPY-2 radar would significantly impact combat operations, and a replacement unit would likely need to be redeployed.

Jordanian authorities have not publicly responded to the THAAD radar damage. However, the Jordanian army said on Saturday that 11 missiles and drones from Iran were not intercepted.

Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia has reported multiple successful interceptions of missiles and drones targeting the country’s Prince Sultan Air Base, where dozens of US warplanes are stationed. A satellite image on March 1 showed that at a radar site near the base, a tent previously used to shelter a radar system for a nearby THAAD battery was badly charred and debris was scattered around it, according to CNN reports.

Saudi Arabia on Sunday warned Iran that continued strikes on its territory or energy infrastructure could trigger retaliation and lead Riyadh to allow US forces to launch operations from Saudi bases.
