Multiple joint strikes has according to analysis eliminated or harmed a minimum of 11 Iran's navy ships starting Saturday, freshly analyzed satellite images show, with rocket sites and nuclear sites also sustaining hits.

Pictures of the southerly Konarak naval military port and the Bandar Abbas installation, which is located on the strategic Hormuz Strait and contains the headquarters of the Iranian navy, reveal smoke billowing from several warships on recent days.

Maritime Assets Incurred Significant Damage

Included in the vessels destroyed was the IRINS Makran, Iran's most sizable ship which had functioned as a drone carrier. Satellite images indicated thick smoke emanating from the vessel which had been moored at the Bandar Abbas base.

Intelligence reports suggest that at least five vessels at Bandar Abbas were "struck or destroyed". Photos of the south end of the port depict smoke rising from the Makran, while additional vessels are visibly impacted, with one of them seen burning.

At the Konarak base, photos reveal several stricken vessels, with intelligence reports pointing to impacts on six vessels. Images taken on Monday also demonstrate that a number of facilities at the installation have been demolished.

"For a long time the Tehran government has threatened global maritime traffic," a senior US military official stated. "Today, there is not one Iranian vessel operational in the Persian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz or Sea of Oman, and we will continue."

Some ships allegedly destroyed may have been hidden in satellite images by weather conditions or battle damage, or targeted offshore, and have not been independently verified. Other accounts suggested that a ship from Iran was foundering near Sri Lanka's waters, prompting a rescue operation.

Rocket Installations and Atomic Facilities Hit

Neutralizing Iranian missile bases and the hindering of atomic bomb programs were stated as additional aims of the military strikes. Aerial imagery also revealed impacts against the southern Khorgu and north-western Tabriz missile facilities, and at the Konarak air base, where missile storage facilities and bunkers were targeted.

At the Choqa Balk-e drone drone base to the west of the city of Kermanshah, extensive damage was identified to sheds, bunkers and UAV launching apparatus.

Damage was also seen at a radar site at the Zahedan airbase in eastern parts of the country, close to the frontier with Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Significantly, the new round of attacks have apparently focused on sites at Natanz – considered at the center of Iran's atomic program. The UN's atomic energy body said that the damaged buildings were used for access to the site's underground enrichment facility and that "no nuclear fallout" was expected.

Wider Impact and Analysis

Military analysts indicated that the strikes appeared to have "largely neutralized" the Iran's naval ability to conduct standard operations using its biggest warships. But, it was noted that Iran maintains the option to launch asymmetric warfare at sea through the use of unmanned aerial vehicles, small submarines and its so-called "clandestine network" of tankers.

The full scale of the damage caused to Iranian military facilities is still uncertain, with strikes reportedly continuing. Imagery also reveals widespread destruction to the headquarters of the Iran's Revolutionary Guards in the city of Tehran.

A significant number of non-military structures also are reported to have been hit in the capital city and across the country since the hostilities began. Casualty figures from inside Iran suggest that hundreds of non-combatants may have been lost their lives in the attacks.

With the conflict ongoing, review of satellite imagery will continue to assess the unfolding military landscape.
