In pics: Before-after satellite images reveal damage to Iranian military bases after Israeli strikes
Satellite images show the extent of damage to several Iranian military facilities following recent Israeli airstrikes, offering a glimpse of the impact across multiple sites in the country.
The strikes came as Israel said it had launched a "new wave" of attacks on targets in Iran, with explosions reported in the capital Tehran.
The Israeli military said the strikes targeted what it described as “Iranian terror regime infrastructure” on the 12th day of the war involving the United States, Israel and Iran.
One of the satellite images shows buildings at Kerman Air Base in Iran before and after an airstrike, with the top image taken on February 14, 2026, and the bottom image on March 9, 2026, revealing damage following the attack.
Another image shows buildings at an Iranian military facility in Darab before and after an airstrike, with the top image taken on August 20, 2025, and the bottom image on March 9, 2026, highlighting damage following the attack.
A satellite image captured buildings at an Iranian military facility in Khorgu before and after an airstrike, with the top image taken on February 20, 2026, and the bottom image on March 9, 2026.

Satellite images show Iranian fighter jets at the 8th Tactical Fighter Base in Isfahan before and after an airstrike, with the earlier image taken on February 22, 2026, and a later image from March 9, 2026 showing the aftermath of the attack.
The images were released amid continuing regional tensions following reported strikes by United States and Israel targeting military and strategic infrastructure in Iran.
Both countries launched coordinated strikes on Iran on February 28, killing its Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and triggering a rapidly escalating conflict across the Middle East.
Israeli defence minister Israel Katz said on Wednesday that the joint bombing campaign against Iran would continue “as long as necessary,” saying the strikes had inflicted heavy losses on Tehran’s forces.
“This operation will continue without any time limit, as long as necessary, until we achieve all the objectives and decide the outcome of the campaign,” he said, adding that the Iranian leadership was fleeing “like mice into tunnels”.
Katz said hospital morgues in Iran were full but insisted the casualties were not civilians. He added that strikes would continue in Tehran and across the country “day after day, target after target”.
In retaliation, Iran launched attacks on commercial ships across the Persian Gulf and targeted Dubai International Airport on Wednesday, escalating tensions in the oil-rich region and raising global energy concerns.
The war has caimed the lives of least 1,230 people in Iran, 550 in Lebanon and 12 in Israel, according to officials in those countries, as cited by AP.
The United States department of defence said on Tuesday that around 140 US service members were wounded, with 108 having returned to duty. Eight suffered serious injuries and seven have been killed.
An Israeli intelligence assessment also suggested that Iran’s new supreme leader was wounded at the start of the conflict.
