Multiple US and Israeli airstrikes has allegedly eliminated or harmed at least 11 Iranian naval vessels since Saturday, new satellite images demonstrate, with rocket sites and atomic facilities also being targeted.

Photographs of the southern Konarak naval base and the Bandar Abbas facility, which is located on the strategic Hormuz Strait and houses the headquarters of the Iranian navy, reveal plumes of smoke rising from multiple ships on the start of the week.

Naval Fleet Sustained Major Damage

Included in the targets eliminated was the IRINS Makran, the country's largest naval vessel which had served as a drone carrier. Aerial imagery showed dark plumes emanating from the vessel which had been docked at the Bandar Abbas naval base.

Intelligence evaluations suggest that at least a quintet of warships at the port were "hit or sunk". Pictures of the south end of the port depict smoke rising from the Makran, while another pair of vessels appear to be harmed, with one of them visibly ablaze.

Over at Konarak, photos display several harmed ships, with analysis pointing to damage to a half-dozen warships. Photos taken on the start of the week also show that multiple buildings at the installation have been leveled.

"For many years the Iranian regime has disrupted global maritime traffic," an American commander stated. "Now, there is not a single Iranian ship at sea in the Arabian Gulf, Hormuz Strait or Gulf of Oman, and we will not stop."

A number of ships allegedly sunk may have been concealed in aerial photos by weather conditions or battle damage, or targeted offshore, and have not been independently verified. Separate reports suggested that a ship from Iran was foundering off the coast of Sri Lankan territorial waters, prompting a rescue operation.

Missile Installations and Nuclear Locations Hit

Eliminating Iranian missile bases and the prevention of enrichment activities were listed as additional aims of the military strikes. Aerial imagery also revealed damage at the southerly Khorgu base and northwestern Tabriz missile facilities, and at the Konarak air air base, where rocket warehouses and bunkers were hit.

At the Choqa Balk-e drone drone base west of Kermanshah, extensive damage was observed to storage buildings, underground facilities and drone launch equipment.

Destruction was also noted at a radar site at the Zahedan airbase airbase in eastern Iran, near the frontier with neighboring nations.

Perhaps most notably, the most recent series of attacks have reportedly focused on facilities at Natanz – considered at the core of Iran's enrichment efforts. An international watchdog commented that the affected structures were used for access to the facility's underground enrichment facility and that "no nuclear fallout" was expected.

Wider Consequences and Assessment

Military analysts stated that the attacks appeared to have "largely neutralized" the Iranian navy's capability to carry out conventional attacks using its most significant vessels. But, it was noted that Iran still has the capacity to launch unconventional attacks at sea through the use of drones, mini-submarines and its so-called "ghost fleet" of tankers.

The overall scale of the destruction caused to Iranian military facilities remains unclear, with hostilities said to be ongoing. Imagery also reveals considerable damage to the main offices of the the IRGC in the capital Tehran.

A large number of civilian buildings also appear to have been hit in the capital city and across Iran since the fighting started. Casualty figures from inside Iran indicate that hundreds of non-combatants may have been killed in the bombardment.

With the conflict ongoing, monitoring of aerial photographs will persist to track the unfolding battlefield picture.
