A wave of American and Israeli airstrikes has reportedly sunk or crippled no fewer than eleven Iran's navy ships since Saturday, recently obtained satellite images reveal, with launch facilities and atomic facilities also being targeted.

Photographs of the southern Konarak naval military port and the Bandar Abbas port facility, which sits on the Strait of Hormuz and contains the headquarters of the Iran's naval force, reveal black smoke pouring from several vessels on recent days.

Maritime Assets Sustained Significant Damage

Included in the vessels destroyed was the IRINS Makran, the country's largest naval vessel which had served as a unmanned aerial vehicle platform. Satellite images indicated black smoke rising from the vessel which had been stationed at the Bandar Abbas naval base.

Intelligence evaluations state that no fewer than five vessels at the port were "hit or sunk". Imagery of the south end of the harbor depict smoke rising from the IRINS Makran, while additional ships are visibly impacted, with one clearly on fire.

At Konarak, photos show several stricken vessels, with analysis identifying damage to six vessels. Pictures from the start of the week also show that multiple facilities at the installation have been demolished.

"For many years the Iranian regime has threatened commercial vessels," the head of US Central Command declared. "Now, there is no Iranian ship operational in the Persian Gulf, Hormuz Strait or Sea of Oman, and we will not stop."

Some ships reportedly sunk may have been obscured in aerial photos by haze or plumes, or struck at sea, and have yet to be fully confirmed. Separate reports suggested that one Iranian ship was sinking off the coast of Sri Lanka's territorial waters, leading to a rescue operation.

Rocket Sites and Nuclear Locations Hit

The destruction of Iranian missile bases and the prevention of nuclear weapons development were listed as additional aims of the air campaign. Satellite images also revealed impacts against the southerly Khorgu and northwestern Tabriz missile facilities, and at the Konarak air base, where rocket warehouses and bunkers were struck.

Over at the Choqa Balk-e drone unmanned aircraft site to the west of Kermanshah, extensive destruction was seen to warehouses, bunkers and UAV launching apparatus.

Impact was also seen at a radar installation at the Zahedan airbase military airport in eastern Iran, near the frontier with neighboring nations.

Perhaps most notably, the most recent series of attacks have reportedly targeted installations at Natanz – long said to be at the center of the country's enrichment efforts. A global monitoring agency stated that the damaged structures were used for access to the facility's below-ground nuclear plant and that "no nuclear fallout" was anticipated.

Wider Impact and Assessment

Military analysts indicated that the offensive appeared to have "significantly degraded" the Iranian navy's capability to sustain conventional attacks using its most significant vessels. But, it was noted that Tehran still has the option to launch asymmetric warfare at sea through the use of drones, mini-submarines and its so-called "ghost fleet" of tankers.

The overall extent of the destruction caused to Iran's defense infrastructure has yet to be fully assessed, with hostilities reportedly ongoing. Pictures also indicates widespread destruction to the command center of the the IRGC in the city of Tehran.

A large number of public facilities also seem to have been struck in the capital and across the country after the fighting began. Toll estimates from ground sources state that hundreds of non-combatants may have been killed in the strikes.

Amid continuing hostilities, analysis of satellite imagery will carry on to document the changing military landscape.
