According to The New York Times, Iran carried out strikes on at least seven U.S. military facilities across the Middle East, targeting sites equipped with satellite communications systems and radar installations. The damage to the affected infrastructure is estimated at roughly $1 billion. The newspaper reports that Tehran’s primary objective was to disrupt communication channels and undermine the coordination of American forces operating in the region.

The attacks spanned several countries.

In Bahrain, a radar dome at the headquarters of the U. S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet in Manama was damaged. The site serves as a central hub for Washington’s naval operations in the Middle East.

In Qatar, satellite antennas at Al-Udeid Air Base — widely regarded as the largest American military base in the region — were hit.

Kuwait sustained some of the most significant damage. At Camp Arifjan, three radar domes were damaged or destroyed. At Ali Al-Salem Air Base, at least eight buildings and structures located near satellite communications infrastructure were affected.

In Saudi Arabia, a strike hit a building near a radar dome at Prince Sultan Air Base. In the United Arab Emirates, several facilities at a military base near Al-Ruwais were damaged. The base is located close to the AN/TPY-2 radar system designed to detect and track ballistic missiles. Destruction was recorded in an area of densely clustered buildings and tents about 160 kilometers east of Al-Dafra Air Base.

The newspaper also reports that other U.S. facilities in Dubai, Iraq, Kuwait, and Jordan were struck. However, those targets were situated away from critical communication hubs and major radar systems.

Tehran further claimed that it had destroyed the AN/FPS-132 Block 5 early warning radar in Qatar — a strategic installation valued at more than $1 billion. Qatar’s Ministry of Defense confirmed that the radar was among the targets of the Iranian strike but did not disclose the outcome of the attack. Satellite images that later surfaced online appear to show visible traces of damage at the site.
