Iran inflicted 'extensive' damage to US bases

ISTANBUL:

Iran has inflicted more "extensive" damage to United States bases and equipment in the Middle East since the start of US and Israeli strikes against Iran on February 28, NBC News reported on Saturday, citing sources.

Iran has hit dozens of targets, including warehouses, command headquarters, aircraft hangars, satellite communications infrastructure, runways, high-end radar systems and dozens of aircraft, the report said.

It added that Iran used missiles, drones and even F-5 fighter jets to target US bases in the region, despite previous claims by US authorities that the Iranian air force had failed to use fighter jets against American targets.
