Multiple American and Israeli attacks has reportedly destroyed or damaged a minimum of eleven warships belonging to Iran starting the weekend, freshly analyzed orbital imagery show, with launch facilities and atomic facilities also being targeted.

Images of the southerly Konarak naval base and the Bandar Abbas port installation, which is located on the strategic Hormuz Strait and is home to the main command of the Iranian navy, show plumes of smoke rising from multiple warships on recent days.

Maritime Assets Incurred Major Losses

Included in the targets eliminated was the Makran, Iran's most sizable ship which had been used as a unmanned aerial vehicle platform. Orbital photos indicated dark plumes rising from the ship which had been stationed at the Bandar Abbas naval base.

Intelligence evaluations suggest that at least five vessels at Bandar Abbas were "damaged or eliminated". Photos of the southern end of the harbor show smoke rising from the Makran, while another pair of ships seem to be harmed, with one visibly ablaze.

Over at Konarak, images reveal multiple damaged ships, with analysis identifying strikes against six vessels. Photos from the start of the week also demonstrate that a number of facilities at the base have been destroyed.

"For decades the Iranian regime has threatened global maritime traffic," the head of US Central Command said. "Now, there is no vessel from Iran underway in the Persian Gulf, Hormuz Strait or Sea of Oman, and we will persist."

Some vessels reportedly sunk may have been obscured in aerial photos by weather conditions or battle damage, or struck at sea, and have yet to be fully confirmed. Other accounts stated that a ship from Iran was foundering off the coast of Sri Lanka's waters, prompting a search and rescue mission.

Missile Bases and Atomic Locations Attacked

Neutralizing Tehran's launch facilities and the stopping atomic bomb programs were stated as other objectives of the air campaign. Aerial imagery also showed impacts against the southern Khorgu base and northwestern Tabriz missile missile bases, and at the Konarak air air base, where missile storage facilities and bunkers were targeted.

At the Choqa Balk-e drone unmanned aircraft site west of Kermanshah, widespread damage was identified to warehouses, underground facilities and unmanned aircraft systems.

Damage was also noted at a surveillance station at the Zahedan airbase military airport in eastern Iran, near the frontier with Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Perhaps most notably, the latest wave of strikes have apparently targeted installations at Natanz – long said to be at the center of the country's atomic program. The UN's atomic energy body stated that the damaged structures were used for access to the facility's underground nuclear plant and that "no nuclear fallout" was expected.

Wider Fallout and Assessment

Defense experts suggested that the offensive appeared to have "largely neutralized" the Iranian navy's capability to sustain traditional warfare using its largest vessels. But, it was stressed that Tehran still has the option to launch irregular strikes at sea through the use of drones, midget subs and its so-called "clandestine network" of tankers.

The total scale of the damage caused to Iran's defense facilities is still uncertain, with attacks said to be ongoing. Pictures also indicates widespread destruction to the headquarters of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in the capital Tehran.

Numerous of civilian buildings also are reported to have been hit in the capital and throughout the country since the hostilities started. Casualty figures from local officials indicate that a high number of non-combatants may have been killed in the strikes.

Amid continuing hostilities, analysis of space-based data will continue to assess the changing military landscape.
