Multiple US and Israeli strikes has allegedly destroyed or damaged at least 11 Iranian naval vessels since the weekend, recently obtained aerial photos demonstrate, with rocket sites and nuclear sites also coming under fire.

Images of the southern Konarak naval military port and the Bandar Abbas facility, which sits on the Strait of Hormuz and contains the main command of the Iran's naval force, depict plumes of smoke rising from several vessels on recent days.

Maritime Assets Incurred Substantial Losses

Among the targets eliminated was the IRINS Makran, Iran's biggest warship which had been used as a unmanned aerial vehicle platform. Orbital photos showed thick smoke pouring from the vessel which had been moored at the Bandar Abbas naval base.

Intelligence reports suggest that no fewer than five vessels at Bandar Abbas were "struck or destroyed". Pictures of the south end of the port show smoke rising from the Makran, while another pair of vessels are visibly impacted, with one of them visibly ablaze.

At the Konarak base, images show numerous damaged ships, with expert review pointing to strikes against six vessels. Images from the start of the week also indicate that several buildings at the installation have been demolished.

"For a long time the Iran's leadership has disrupted commercial vessels," an American commander declared. "Today, there is not one Iranian ship at sea in the Arabian Gulf, Hormuz Strait or Sea of Oman, and we will not stop."

Some vessels allegedly sunk may have been concealed in satellite images by haze or plumes, or targeted offshore, and have yet to be fully confirmed. Separate reports indicated that one Iranian ship was sinking off the coast of Sri Lankan waters, leading to a search and rescue mission.

Missile Sites and Nuclear Locations Attacked

Eliminating Iran's rocket sites and the stopping nuclear weapons development were listed as additional goals of the military strikes. Satellite images also depicted impacts against the southerly Khorgu base and north-western Tabriz missile facilities, and at the Konarak air base, where rocket warehouses and fortifications were struck.

Over at the Choqa Balk-e drone base west of the city of Kermanshah, significant damage was identified to sheds, underground facilities and UAV launching apparatus.

Impact was also observed at a radar installation at the Zahedan military airport in eastern Iran, near the border with neighboring nations.

Significantly, the latest wave of attacks have reportedly focused on installations at Natanz – considered at the center of the country's atomic program. The UN's atomic energy body said that the affected buildings were used for access to the site's underground enrichment facility and that "no radiological consequence" was expected.

Broader Consequences and Assessment

Observers indicated that the offensive appeared to have "significantly degraded" the Iran's naval capacity to carry out traditional warfare using its most significant vessels. But, it was emphasised that Tehran maintains the capacity to launch unconventional attacks at sea through the use of drones, mini-submarines and its so-called "shadow fleet" of oil ships.

The total extent of the damage caused to Iran's defense infrastructure is still uncertain, with hostilities reportedly persisting. Photos also indicates extensive destruction to the main offices of the Iran's Revolutionary Guards in the capital Tehran.

Numerous of non-military structures also seem to have been struck in the capital city and across the country after the conflict started. Reports of deaths from local officials suggest that many hundreds of non-combatants may have been lost their lives in the bombardment.

With the conflict ongoing, monitoring of satellite imagery will continue to track the changing scope of damage.
