Multiple US and Israeli attacks has according to analysis sunk or crippled no fewer than eleven warships belonging to Iran starting Saturday, freshly analyzed orbital imagery reveal, with launch facilities and enrichment plants also sustaining hits.

Pictures of the southern Konarak military port and the Bandar Abbas port installation, which overlooks the Strait of Hormuz and houses the main command of the Iran's naval force, reveal smoke billowing from a number of warships on recent days.

Maritime Fleet Incurred Substantial Losses

Included in the targets eliminated was the IRINS Makran, the country's biggest warship which had been used as a drone carrier. Aerial imagery indicated black smoke pouring from the vessel which had been moored at the Bandar Abbas base.

Intelligence reports state that at least five ships at Bandar Abbas were "struck or destroyed". Photos of the southern part of the harbor show smoke rising from the IRINS Makran, while two other vessels are visibly impacted, with a single one seen burning.

At Konarak, images reveal multiple harmed ships, with analysis identifying damage to six ships. Images from the start of the week also show that several structures at the installation have been leveled.

"For decades the Iranian regime has disrupted global maritime traffic," an American commander stated. "Now, there is not one Iranian ship at sea in the Persian Gulf, Hormuz Strait or Sea of Oman, and we will persist."

Some ships allegedly sunk may have been concealed in satellite images by haze or plumes, or targeted offshore, and have not been conclusively proven. Additional information stated that one Iranian ship was foundering near Sri Lanka's territorial waters, resulting in a rescue operation.

Rocket Bases and Nuclear Facilities Targeted

Eliminating Iran's rocket sites and the hindering of nuclear weapons development were listed as additional goals of the air campaign. Aerial imagery also depicted strikes on the southerly Khorgu and northwestern Tabriz missile facilities, and at the Konarak air air base, where rocket warehouses and bunkers were targeted.

Over at the Choqa Balk-e drone base to the west of Kermanshah, extensive damage was seen to storage buildings, underground facilities and UAV launching apparatus.

Damage was also observed at a surveillance station at the Zahedan airbase airbase in eastern Iran, close to the border with neighboring nations.

Perhaps most notably, the latest wave of attacks have apparently focused on sites at Natanz – considered at the center of Iran's enrichment efforts. A global monitoring agency commented that the affected buildings were used for access to the site's below-ground enrichment facility and that "no radiological consequence" was expected.

Wider Fallout and Analysis

Observers suggested that the offensive appeared to have "significantly degraded" the Iran's naval capacity to carry out standard operations using its biggest warships. However, it was stressed that Tehran maintains the option to launch asymmetric warfare at sea through the use of unmanned aerial vehicles, small submarines and its so-called "clandestine network" of oil ships.

The full scope of the destruction caused to Iran's defense infrastructure has yet to be fully assessed, with attacks said to be persisting. Imagery also indicates widespread damage to the main offices of the Iran's Revolutionary Guards in the capital Tehran.

A large number of public facilities also appear to have been struck in the capital and throughout the country since the conflict began. Casualty figures from local officials indicate that many hundreds of civilians may have been killed in the bombardment.

Amid continuing hostilities, review of satellite imagery will continue to assess the changing military landscape.
