Recently released satellite images show aerial views of heavy damage at the strategic Konark base in southern Iran, as well as significant destruction at Tehran’s naval headquarters in Bandar Abbas on the Persian Gulf.The images, released by Planet Labs and American spatial intelligence firm Vantor, show precise strikes carried out by the United States and Israel. Satellite imagery captured burning ships and damaged facilities, showing the scale of the attacks on Iran’s military infrastructure.According to Fox News, in addition to the naval assets, satellite images also show a bunker at Bushehr air base that was attacked, leaving a large crater and destroying several smaller buildings nearby. Additional strikes targeted the Chokha Balkh drone facility in western Iran. Radar systems at Zahedan Airport in eastern Iran, located near the country’s borders with Pakistan and Afghanistan, were also affected. The two facilities are approximately 800 to 900 miles apart.Satellite images show damage to aircraft parked on the tarmac at Shiraz Airport, with scorch marks and debris visible around several parking areas.
Pictures from Planet Labs show a thick plume of smoke rising over Tehran, indicating an explosion and fire inside the Iranian capital. The smoke indicated that the conflict had spread beyond isolated military installations to the heart of Iran’s political center.Satellite images also showed damage in the UAE port city of Sharjah, the country’s third most populous city after Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The region’s largest maritime hub, Jebel Ali Port, was also targeted, suggesting the response extended beyond military facilities to key infrastructure.The newly released satellite imagery comes after US-Israeli strikes that killed Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and several top members of the regime.US President Donald Trump warned on Sunday that Iran’s new leader Mojtaba Khamenei is not “going to last long” without US approval as Operation Epic Fury entered its third week.
