Multiple joint attacks has allegedly destroyed or damaged at least 11 Iranian naval vessels since Saturday, new satellite images demonstrate, with missile bases and enrichment plants also sustaining hits.

Photographs of the southern Konarak naval military port and the Bandar Abbas installation, which is located on the strategic Hormuz Strait and contains the headquarters of the Iran's naval force, depict smoke billowing from a number of warships on Monday and Tuesday.

Maritime Fleet Incurred Major Losses

Included in the ships sunk was the Makran, Iran's biggest warship which had functioned as a drone carrier. Orbital photos showed dark plumes pouring from the ship which had been moored at the Bandar Abbas naval base.

Analytical assessments state that at least five vessels at Bandar Abbas were "hit or sunk". Photos of the southern part of the harbor show plumes ascending from the IRINS Makran, while two other vessels appear to be impacted, with one of them visibly ablaze.

At Konarak, photos reveal several harmed vessels, with expert review identifying impacts on six vessels. Photos from Monday also show that a number of buildings at the base have been leveled.

"For many years the Iranian regime has harassed commercial vessels," a senior US military official declared. "Now, there is no Iranian vessel underway in the Persian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz or Sea of Oman, and we will not stop."

Some ships allegedly sunk may have been hidden in satellite images by weather conditions or battle damage, or targeted offshore, and have not been conclusively proven. Additional information stated that one Iranian ship was foundering off the coast of Sri Lanka's territorial waters, leading to a rescue operation.

Rocket Installations and Atomic Locations Hit

Neutralizing Iranian missile bases and the stopping nuclear weapons development were declared as other aims of the military strikes. Aerial imagery also depicted impacts against the southerly Khorgu base and north-western Tabriz facilities, and at the Konarak base, where rocket warehouses and bunkers were targeted.

Over at the Choqa Balk-e UAV facility west of Kermanshah, significant damage was observed to warehouses, bunkers and UAV launching apparatus.

Destruction was also observed at a radar site at the Zahedan airbase military airport in eastern parts of the country, near the frontier with Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Perhaps most notably, the most recent series of attacks have reportedly hit installations at the Natanz complex – considered at the core of Iran's atomic program. An international watchdog said that the affected structures were used for access to the site's underground enrichment facility and that "no radiological consequence" was likely.

Wider Impact and Analysis

Defense experts suggested that the attacks appeared to have "largely neutralized" the Iranian navy's capacity to carry out traditional warfare using its largest vessels. However, it was stressed that Tehran retains the ability to launch irregular strikes at sea through the use of drones, midget subs and its so-called "ghost fleet" of tankers.

The total extent of the destruction caused to Iranian military infrastructure remains unclear, with hostilities reportedly ongoing. Photos also shows extensive damage to the command center of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in the capital Tehran.

A significant number of non-military structures also seem to have been hit in the capital and throughout Iran since the hostilities escalated. Casualty figures from inside Iran suggest that many hundreds of civilians may have been lost their lives in the bombardment.

With the conflict ongoing, review of aerial photographs will continue to document the evolving military landscape.
