Middle East experts stated on Thursday that at least a dozen US military sites across the Gulf are severely damaged following Iranian strikes, rendering them more vulnerable than beneficial. These experts' assessment, initially reported by The New York Times, contradicts the Trump administration's silence on the extent of damage to these bases in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, and Oman.
