Shocking before and after images shows destruction of US bombing campaign in Iran

Satellite images shared by the US military appear to show strike damage across Iran as the US-Israeli bombing campaign continues.

Before-and-after pictures shared by CENTCOM on Monday (16 March) allegedly depict the damage at several weapons manufacturing factories and military sites.

In a video update on Operation Epic Fury, Commander Admiral Brad Cooper said that the strikes were carried out to “dismantle Iran’s defense industrial base which will prevent threats into the region into the future”.

Speaking on Monday, Donald Trump said that the US has struck more than 7,000 targets across Iran, which he says “have been mostly commercial and military targets”

“We’ve achieved a 90 per cent reduction in their ballistic missile launches and a 95 per cent reduction in drone attacks.”
