BIG: Iranian missile and drone attacks caused major damage to the U.S. Navy's base in Bahrain, including the Fifth Fleet headquarters, communications facilities, warehouses, and support buildings, according to satellite imagery analyzed by The Wall Street Journal. The extent of the destruction had not been publicly acknowledged by the Pentagon. Although the Pentagon maintained that operations continued and casualties were minimal, the strikes exposed significant vulnerabilities in America's Gulf bases and have prompted a broad review of the U.S. military's regional posture. Officials are considering redesigning or relocating key facilities farther from Iran's missile range, with options including dispersing forces, hardening infrastructure, and expanding basing in locations such as Israel. The damage at Bahrain alone is estimated to cost roughly $400 million to rebuild, while total damage to U.S. bases across the region may exceed $2 billion. Source: WSJ
