According to satellite imagery analysis conducted on May 6, Iranian forces have damaged or destroyed at least 228 American military installations and equipment in the Middle East since the beginning of hostilities with the United States and Israel.
The assessment indicates that this number substantially exceeds the official figures acknowledged by U.S. authorities.
The analysis reveals that targeted sites include American hangars, barracks, fuel storage facilities, aircraft, as well as critical radar stations, communication networks, and air defense systems.
A report states: “The scale of destruction is much greater than it was officially recognized by the U.S. government.”
The suspension of the U.S. military operation in the Strait of Hormuz temporarily eased tensions but did not resolve underlying contradictions.
On May 6, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that further military strikes against Iran would be intensified if Tehran refused to accept U.S. demands. The White House stated that a diplomatic agreement could lead to the implementation of a blockade ensuring the Strait of Hormuz remains accessible to all nations, including Iran.
Concurrently, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared that the “Epic Fury” operation against Iran had concluded and that Washington and Tehran would now pursue potential pathways to resolution.
