Leaked photos show extensive damage at US military bases from Iranian strikes

Photos obtained by CBS News from anonymous US service members show significant damage to American military facilities in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait from Iranian missile and drone attacks. A Pentagon inspector general report found Iranian strikes damaged or destroyed hundreds of buildings across US bases in multiple Middle Eastern countries. The US and Israel launched a war against Iran on February 28, 2026, and conflict between the US and Iran has continued while Israel-Iran fighting largely paused in April.

The split, in one line

Both outlets relay the same CBS-sourced photos and quotes, but Times of Israel adds extensive context on costs reaching $38 billion, Russian satellite involvement, and Strait of Hormuz blockade that BBC omits entirely.
