The BBC’s US partner CBS obtained photos showing widespread damage to multiple US military sites in the Middle East as a result of Iranian strikes. The photos came from an unnamed member of the military, who said: “This is major damage to our bases that hasn’t been communicated to the American public”.
They images show a severed radar jet, flattened trailers and severely damaged buildings.
The BBC’s State Department correspondent Tom Bateman talks through what the photos show.
