Orbital Pictures Reveal Iran's Navy and Atomic Locations Struck by American and Israeli Airstrikes.

Multiple joint airstrikes has according to analysis sunk or crippled at least 11 Iran's navy ships since Saturday, new satellite images show, with launch facilities and enrichment plants also coming under fire.

Photographs of the southerly Konarak military port and the Bandar Abbas installation, which sits on the Strait of Hormuz and houses the headquarters of the Iran's naval force, reveal black smoke pouring from several vessels on the start of the week.

Naval Fleet Sustained Substantial Losses

Among the targets eliminated was the IRINS Makran, Iran's biggest warship which had functioned as a drone carrier. Satellite images indicated thick smoke emanating from the ship which had been docked at the Bandar Abbas naval base.

Intelligence 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 another pair of vessels are visibly harmed, with one seen burning.

Over at the Konarak base, images reveal multiple damaged ships, with analysis pointing to impacts on six ships. Pictures from the start of the week also show that multiple structures at the base have been destroyed.

"For decades the Tehran government has harassed international shipping," an American commander stated. "Today, there is no vessel from Iran operational in the Arabian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz or Gulf of Oman, and we will persist."

Some ships allegedly sunk may have been concealed in satellite images by haze or plumes, or hit in open waters, and have not been conclusively proven. Additional information stated that an Iranian vessel was going down off the coast of Sri Lanka's waters, leading to a search and rescue mission.

Missile Bases and Atomic Facilities Targeted

Eliminating Iran's rocket sites and the prevention of enrichment activities were declared as further goals of the air campaign. Satellite images also depicted damage at the southerly Khorgu and northwestern Tabriz facilities, and at the Konarak air base, where missile storage facilities and fortifications were hit.

At the Choqa Balk-e drone base west of Kermanshah, extensive damage was identified to warehouses, bunkers and UAV launching apparatus.

Destruction was also observed at a radar installation at the Zahedan airbase in eastern parts of the country, close to the border with Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Perhaps most notably, the new round of attacks have reportedly hit facilities at Natanz – considered at the center of Iran's atomic program. An international watchdog stated that the damaged buildings were used for entry to the site's below-ground enrichment facility and that "no nuclear fallout" was likely.

Broader Fallout and Analysis

Military analysts indicated that the strikes appeared to have "significantly degraded" the Iran's naval capacity to sustain standard operations using its largest warships. However, it was emphasised that Iran still has the capacity to launch irregular strikes at sea through the use of drones, midget subs and its so-called "shadow fleet" of tankers.

The total extent of the damage caused to Iranian military infrastructure has yet to be fully assessed, with hostilities reportedly continuing. Photos also indicates extensive damage to the headquarters of the the IRGC in the capital Tehran.

Numerous of public facilities also are reported to have been damaged in the capital and across the country since the conflict escalated. Toll estimates from inside Iran indicate that a high number of non-combatants may have been fatally injured in the bombardment.

With the conflict ongoing, analysis of aerial photographs will continue to document the unfolding military landscape.
