Abu Saleh, an analyst known as the Arabic Desk, writes that satellite imagery has proven damage to US military facilities in Gulf states and Jordan, and that the current escalation is only a 'preliminary game.' The claims are single-sourced and unverified.
Abu Saleh, an analyst tracking the Persian Gulf theater via the 'Arabic Desk' channel, stated on Saturday evening that recent satellite imagery has confirmed significant damage to US military installations across Gulf states and Jordan. He added that the visible damage represents only the 'preliminary game' of a broader escalation that has yet to unfold.
The assessment comes amid a series of satellite imagery reports and analyses published over the past weeks documenting damage to US bases in Jordan (King Faisal Air Base), Kuwait (Halliburton logistics warehouse), Qatar (Al Udeid Air Base), Bahrain (US Navy base), the UAE (Sheikh Zayed Military City), and Iraq (Erbil Airport), as previously covered by The Zioneer. These reports, originating from various sources including Iranian media and independent analysts, have not been independently verified, and US Central Command has maintained that all threats were defeated.
The claims by Abu Saleh remain single-sourced and unverified. No official confirmation from US or allied military sources has been released regarding the extent of damage to installations in the region.
