According to satellite imagery and video analysis, Iran has attacked at least 20 American military facilities across the Middle East, with some experts estimating as many as 28 bases targeted. The report by BBC Verify significantly exceeds public U.S. acknowledgment of the attacks. Strikes have hit key installations across eight countries: Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Iraq, Jordan, Bahrain, and Oman, causing hundreds of millions of dollars in damage. Notable losses include three THAAD anti-missile batteries, each costing approximately $1 billion, and forming a complex regional defense network that cannot be quickly replaced. At Prince Sultan Airbase in Saudi Arabia alone, 42 aircraft have been destroyed or damaged since February, including F-15s, F-35s, Reaper drones, and an A-10 attack plane worth up to $700 million. Iran's tactics evolved from mass missile barrages to precise strikes targeting high-value assets. The Pentagon declined to dispute the BBC's findings, while the U.S. requested satellite imagery restrictions on the region.Watch the video below. Your browser does not support the video tag.

A savage attack on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer has led to the arrest of a "violent agitator" as described by the Dept. of Homeland Security. Photos posted by DHS Sec. Markwayne Mullin showed the bleeding bite mark left on the forearm of the agent, who was allegedly attacked during rioting at an ICE facility in Newark, New Jersey. 'Anyone who assaults a law enforcement officer will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.' "Last night, a violent rioter savagely kicked and bit ICE law enforcement officers outside of Delaney Hall. Today, this violent agitator is being charged," wrote Mullin on social media Friday. Anti-ICE protesters claim that detainees at the ICE facility at Delaney Hall are being held under improper conditions and that some are responding with a hunger strike. Mullin has denied the allegations and claimed that the hunger strike is actually based on demands from detainees that they be fed food from their respective ethnic origins. "There was only a handful of individuals that was refusing to eat because they want their ethnic right food," he said from the White House. "Well, they can go back to their country and get whatever food they want. ... This isn't Holiday Inn."A statement from the DHS indicated that five of the six arrested on Friday in relation to the anti-ICE violence were alleged agitators from outside New Jersey. The agency cited this as evidence that the demonstrations were a "coordinated campaign of violence" against federal agents. "Our ICE law enforcement officers are facing an 8,000% increase in death threats and a 1,300% increase in assaults against them," the agency added. "This violence against law enforcement must end." In another incident from the Delaney Hall center, an agitator was recorded on video Wednesday screaming that he would kill the wife and children of an ICE agent. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said agents were actively seeking to identify and arrest the man for the alleged death threat against a federal agent.
