The biggest loss came from the AN/FPS-132 early warning radar system at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. The system, valued at about $1.1billion, was hit by an Iranian missile strike. Qatar confirmed that the radar was damaged.
On Sunday, three F-15E Strike Eagles were lost in a “friendly fire” incident involving Kuwaiti air defenses. Although all six crew members survived, the aircraft was destroyed. Replacing them could cost around $282 million.
Iran also struck the US Navy’s Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain. Two satellite communication terminals and several large buildings were reportedly destroyed. The targeted terminals, identified as AN/GSC-52Bs, are estimated to cost around $20 million, including installation.

Another major claim involves the AN/TPY-2 radar component of the THAAD missile defence system in the United Arab Emirates. Reports suggest it was hit, with the damaged radar estimated to be worth about $500 million.
In total, these losses amount to around $1.902 billion in damaged US military assets across the region.
Iran has targeted at least seven US military sites since the conflict began. These include bases in Bahrain, Kuwait, Iraq, the UAE, and Qatar. Satellite images show structural damage, smoke, and fires at several locations.
In Kuwait, collapsed rooftops were seen at Ali Al Salem Air Base. Camp Arifjan, where six US service members were killed, also came under attack. At Camp Buehring, video footage showed a drone flying over the base before exploding.
In Iraq, the Erbil base was repeatedly targeted. Satellite images showed four damaged structures and ongoing fires.

In Dubai, smoke was seen rising from Jebel Ali Port, a key US Navy port of call. Though not an official base, it is widely used by American forces.
US diplomatic missions were also hit. The US Embassy in Riyadh was struck by two drones, causing “limited fire and minor material damage.” The US Embassy in Kuwait City faced drone and missile attacks and has closed “until further notice.” The US Consulate General in Dubai was also hit by a suspected drone, causing a small fire that was quickly controlled.
The situation continues to develop as tensions between the US, Israel, and Iran remain high.
