A series of American and Israeli attacks has allegedly eliminated or harmed no fewer than 11 Iran's navy ships since Saturday, new aerial photos show, with rocket sites and nuclear sites also sustaining hits.

Pictures of the southern Konarak naval base and the Bandar Abbas facility, which sits on the strategic Hormuz Strait and is home to the headquarters of the Iranian navy, show black smoke pouring from multiple vessels on Monday and Tuesday.

Naval Assets Sustained Substantial Damage

Among the targets eliminated was the IRINS Makran, the country's biggest warship which had been used as a drone carrier. Orbital photos indicated thick smoke pouring from the ship which had been stationed at the Bandar Abbas naval base.

Intelligence assessments state that at least five vessels at the port were "hit or sunk". Imagery of the southern end of the port reveal smoke rising from the Makran, while additional ships seem to be damaged, with one seen burning.

Over at the Konarak base, images reveal several damaged ships, with analysis pointing to impacts on six vessels. Photos taken on the start of the week also demonstrate that a number of facilities at the installation have been destroyed.

"For many years the Iranian regime has harassed international shipping," a senior US military official said. "Now, there is no Iranian ship underway in the Persian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz or Sea of Oman, and we will not stop."

A number of vessels reportedly sunk may have been concealed in aerial photos by haze or plumes, or targeted offshore, and have not been conclusively proven. Additional information stated that a ship from Iran was going down near Sri Lankan waters, prompting a rescue operation.

Rocket Installations and Atomic Locations Attacked

Neutralizing Iranian missile bases and the stopping nuclear weapons development were declared as additional goals of the offensive. Aerial imagery also showed strikes on the southern Khorgu and north-western Tabriz missile bases, and at the Konarak air base, where missile storage facilities and fortifications were struck.

Over at the Choqa Balk-e drone unmanned aircraft site to the west of Kermanshah, extensive damage was observed to warehouses, underground facilities and drone launch equipment.

Damage was also observed at a radar installation at the Zahedan military airport in eastern parts of the country, near the frontier with Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Perhaps most notably, the latest wave of strikes have reportedly hit sites at the Natanz complex – long said to be at the center of the country's nuclear programme. A global monitoring agency commented that the damaged buildings were used for access to the site's below-ground nuclear plant and that "no nuclear fallout" was anticipated.

Broader Fallout and Assessment

Military analysts stated that the attacks appeared to have "largely neutralized" the Iranian navy's capability to carry out standard operations using its largest vessels. Nevertheless, it was emphasised that Iran maintains the capacity to launch asymmetric warfare at sea through the use of drones, mini-submarines and its so-called "clandestine network" of tankers.

The total extent of the damage caused to Iranian military facilities remains unclear, with strikes reportedly ongoing. Imagery also indicates widespread damage to the headquarters of the Iran's Revolutionary Guards in the capital Tehran.

Numerous of civilian buildings also are reported to have been damaged in the capital and across the country after the hostilities escalated. Toll estimates from local officials suggest that a high number of non-combatants may have been lost their lives in the bombardment.

With the conflict ongoing, review of space-based data will continue to track the changing scope of damage.
