An investigation by the Washington Post reveals Iranian air strikes have damaged or destroyed at least 228 structures or pieces of equipment at US military sites across the Middle East since the war began in late February. The buildings hit include hangars, barracks, fuel depots, aircraft, and key radar, communications and air defence equipment.
