Multiple joint airstrikes has allegedly destroyed or damaged at least 11 Iranian naval vessels starting Saturday, new satellite images show, with launch facilities and nuclear sites also coming under fire.

Photographs of the southern Konarak naval military port and the Bandar Abbas port installation, which overlooks the strategic Hormuz Strait and contains the headquarters of the Iran's naval force, show plumes of smoke rising from multiple warships on recent days.

Maritime Assets Incurred Significant Damage

Among the targets eliminated was the Makran, the country's most sizable ship which had served as a drone carrier. Aerial imagery indicated black smoke rising from the vessel which had been docked at the Bandar Abbas base.

Analytical evaluations indicate that no fewer than a quintet of warships at Bandar Abbas were "struck or destroyed". Pictures of the south end of the port show plumes ascending from the Makran, while additional vessels seem to be harmed, with one of them seen burning.

At the Konarak base, images show numerous damaged ships, with analysis identifying impacts on a half-dozen warships. Images from Monday also demonstrate that a number of buildings at the installation have been demolished.

"For a long time the Iranian regime has disrupted global maritime traffic," the head of US Central Command stated. "At present, there is not a single Iranian vessel underway in the Arabian Gulf, Hormuz Strait or Gulf of Oman, and we will persist."

A number of ships reportedly sunk may have been hidden in satellite images by haze or plumes, or hit in open waters, and have not been conclusively proven. Separate reports stated that a ship from Iran was foundering near Sri Lanka's territorial waters, leading to a search and rescue mission.

Missile Installations and Atomic Facilities Targeted

The destruction of Iranian missile bases and the stopping nuclear weapons development were declared as additional objectives of the military strikes. Satellite images also showed damage at the southerly Khorgu base and north-western Tabriz missile facilities, and at the Konarak air air base, where weapons bunkers and bunkers were targeted.

At the Choqa Balk-e drone base west of Kermanshah, significant destruction was observed to sheds, bunkers and UAV launching apparatus.

Impact was also observed at a radar installation at the Zahedan airbase in eastern Iran, close to the border with Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Significantly, the most recent series of attacks have reportedly hit facilities at the Natanz complex – considered at the center of Iran's atomic program. A global monitoring agency said that the affected structures were used for access to the facility's underground enrichment facility and that "no nuclear fallout" was expected.

Wider Fallout and Analysis

Defense experts suggested that the offensive appeared to have "significantly degraded" the Iranian navy's capability to conduct standard operations using its largest warships. But, it was stressed that Tehran still has the ability to launch irregular strikes at sea through the use of unmanned aerial vehicles, midget subs and its so-called "ghost fleet" of tankers.

The total scale of the damage caused to Iranian military facilities remains unclear, with hostilities said to be persisting. Pictures also indicates considerable destruction to the command center of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in the capital Tehran.

A large number of non-military structures also appear to have been hit in the capital and across the country after the fighting began. Casualty figures from ground sources state that many hundreds of non-combatants may have been killed in the attacks.

With the conflict ongoing, monitoring of satellite imagery will persist to document the evolving battlefield picture.
