Multiple joint strikes has according to analysis eliminated or harmed no fewer than 11 Iran's navy ships starting Saturday, recently obtained aerial photos show, with launch facilities and atomic facilities also coming under fire.

Images of the southerly Konarak military port and the Bandar Abbas facility, which overlooks the strategic Hormuz Strait and houses the main command of the Iranian navy, depict smoke billowing from several ships on Monday and Tuesday.

Maritime Fleet Sustained Substantial Losses

Among the targets eliminated was the IRINS Makran, the country's biggest warship which had been used as a drone carrier. Satellite images indicated thick smoke rising from the vessel which had been stationed at the Bandar Abbas base.

Intelligence evaluations indicate that at least a quintet of warships at the port were "struck or destroyed". Imagery of the south end of the port reveal smoke emanating from the Makran, while two other vessels appear to be harmed, with one of them clearly on fire.

At Konarak, images reveal several stricken ships, with intelligence reports identifying strikes against six ships. Photos taken on Monday also demonstrate that multiple buildings at the base have been destroyed.

"For many years the Iran's leadership has disrupted international shipping," the head of US Central Command declared. "Today, there is not a single vessel from Iran at sea in the Persian Gulf, Hormuz Strait or Gulf of Oman, and we will continue."

A number of vessels reportedly sunk may have been hidden in aerial photos by cloud or smoke, or targeted offshore, and have not been independently verified. Additional information indicated that a ship from Iran was foundering off the coast of Sri Lanka's waters, prompting a search and rescue mission.

Rocket Installations and Nuclear Facilities Targeted

Eliminating Iran's rocket sites and the hindering of enrichment activities were declared as additional objectives of the military strikes. Satellite images also depicted impacts against the southern Khorgu and northwestern Tabriz missile facilities, and at the Konarak air base, where rocket warehouses and bunkers were targeted.

Over at the Choqa Balk-e UAV facility to the west of Kermanshah, significant destruction was seen to sheds, underground facilities and unmanned aircraft systems.

Destruction was also observed at a surveillance station at the Zahedan military airport in eastern parts of the country, close to the border with neighboring nations.

Of particular note, the new round of attacks have reportedly focused on facilities at Natanz – widely believed to be at the core of the country's atomic program. An international watchdog said that the affected buildings were used for access to the site's underground nuclear plant and that "no release of radioactive material" was likely.

Wider Impact and Analysis

Defense experts stated that the offensive appeared to have "greatly reduced" the Iranian navy's capacity to conduct standard operations using its most significant vessels. But, it was noted that Tehran retains the ability to launch asymmetric warfare at sea through the use of drones, small submarines and its so-called "ghost fleet" of tankers.

The overall scope of the damage caused to Iran's defense infrastructure is still uncertain, with attacks said to be continuing. Photos also shows widespread damage to the command center of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in the city of Tehran.

A large number of non-military structures also appear to have been hit in the capital and throughout Iran since the conflict began. Toll estimates from local officials indicate that hundreds of civilians may have been lost their lives in the attacks.

As the situation develops, analysis of space-based data will carry on to assess the evolving scope of damage.
