Images showing widespread damage to multiple US sites in the Middle East from Iranian strikes have been obtained by the BBC’s US partner CBS.
The photos, provided by active military personnel, show a severed radar jet, flattened trailers and severely damaged buildings.
The undated photos were taken at US bases and sites in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
One member of the military, who was not named by CBS, said: “This is major damage to our bases that hasn’t been communicated to the American public.
“We’re standing there with our eyes closed getting punched in the face.”
The White House and US Central Command have been approached for comment.
The photos, which have not been independently verified by the BBC, were published the day after a report from the Pentagon’s watchdog confirmed hundreds of buildings and structures at US bases in the Middle East have been damaged and destroyed by Iran.
One of the photos showed a destroyed Boeing E-3 Sentry at Prince Sultan Air Force Base in Saudi Arabia that has been ripped in half, its tail section crumpled into a tangled mess of metal.
