Multiple American and Israeli attacks has according to analysis eliminated or harmed no fewer than 11 Iran's navy ships since the weekend, new orbital imagery show, with rocket sites and atomic facilities also coming under fire.

Pictures of the southern Konarak naval naval base and the Bandar Abbas facility, which is located on the strategic Hormuz Strait and contains the main command of the Iranian navy, reveal smoke billowing from multiple ships on recent days.

Maritime Fleet Sustained Significant Losses

Among the ships sunk was the IRINS Makran, Iran's biggest warship which had functioned as a drone carrier. Aerial imagery showed black smoke rising from the vessel which had been docked at the Bandar Abbas base.

Analytical assessments suggest that at least five vessels at Bandar Abbas were "damaged or eliminated". Pictures of the southern part of the harbor show plumes ascending from the IRINS Makran, while additional vessels appear to be damaged, with one clearly on fire.

At Konarak, images reveal several damaged ships, with expert review identifying damage to a half-dozen warships. Pictures from the start of the week also demonstrate that several facilities at the installation have been demolished.

"For many years the Iranian regime has harassed commercial vessels," an American commander declared. "Now, there is not a single Iranian ship at sea in the Persian Gulf, Hormuz Strait or Sea of Oman, and we will not stop."

A number of vessels reportedly destroyed may have been hidden in aerial photos by haze or plumes, or struck at sea, and have not been independently verified. Additional information indicated that an Iranian vessel was sinking near Sri Lankan territorial waters, prompting a search and rescue mission.

Rocket Installations and Atomic Facilities Hit

The destruction of Iran's rocket sites and the prevention of nuclear weapons development were declared as further goals of the military strikes. Satellite images also showed impacts against the southern Khorgu base and north-western Tabriz missile missile bases, and at the Konarak base, where weapons bunkers and fortifications were struck.

Over at the Choqa Balk-e UAV facility to the west of the city of Kermanshah, extensive destruction was identified to warehouses, underground facilities and drone launch equipment.

Destruction was also seen at a surveillance station at the Zahedan airbase in eastern Iran, near the frontier with Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Of particular note, the new round of attacks have reportedly hit installations at the Natanz complex – considered at the heart of the country's nuclear programme. A global monitoring agency stated that the damaged structures were used for access to the site's underground nuclear plant and that "no release of radioactive material" was likely.

Broader Impact and Assessment

Observers stated that the attacks appeared to have "greatly reduced" the Iran's naval capacity to carry out standard operations using its most significant vessels. However, it was emphasised that Iran still has the option to launch unconventional attacks at sea through the use of drones, mini-submarines and its so-called "ghost fleet" of tankers.

The full extent of the damage caused to Iranian military infrastructure has yet to be fully assessed, with strikes said to be persisting. Pictures also shows extensive destruction to the headquarters of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in the city of Tehran.

Numerous of non-military structures also appear to have been hit in the capital and throughout Iran since the fighting started. Reports of deaths from local officials indicate that a high number of non-combatants may have been fatally injured in the bombardment.

Amid continuing hostilities, review of aerial photographs will continue to document the evolving military landscape.
