Iran War Damage To US Bases More Extensive Than Pentagon Said

September 17, 2026 Sharon Zhang, Truthout. Educate! CentCom, Iran, US Foreign Bases, Wars and Militarism

The Pentagon has quietly admitted that Iran has struck hundreds of buildings and structures at U.S. bases across the Middle East in the six months since the U.S. and Israel launched war against the country — damage that is far more extensive than previously acknowledged by Trump administration officials. According to the Department of Defense Inspector General’s first report on the Iran war released on Tuesday, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) “reported that Iranian strikes damaged and destroyed hundreds of buildings and structures at U.S. bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Oman, and Jordan during the conflict.”

Hundreds of Jordanian political and legal figures, as well as activists, have recently signed an open letter calling for an end to the US military presence in the Hashemite kingdom, according to a 29 July New York Times (NYT) report. The media outlet referred to the letter as “a rare public challenge to the [Jordanian] government,” after speaking with some of the figures involved in drafting it. “We maintain that their presence exposes Jordan to security, political, and economic risks that serve no national interest and increases the likelihood of our country being dragged into a regional conflict to which it is not a party,” the letter reads.

July 19, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. Educate! Iran, US Foreign Bases, Wars and Militarism, Water

Around 10,000 people in Iran's Hormozgan province are without drinking water following US strikes on a desalination plant in the coastal village of Bunji, Tasnim News Agency reported on 18 July. The CEO of the Hormozgan Water and Wastewater Company stated that the attack “completely disrupted the supply of drinking water to 20 villages with a population of about 10,000 people." "These villages are facing a water shortage crisis," the official added. The desalination plant was one of multiple targets struck by the US military starting on Friday night, the seventh straight night of airstrikes on Iran since US President Donald Trump declared an end to the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).

Iran Caused Far More Damage To US Bases Than The Administration Has Acknowledged

April 27, 2026 Dave DeCamp, Antiwar.com. Educate! Iran, Trump Administration, US Foreign Bases, Wars and Militarism, West Asia

Iranian attacks on US bases across the Middle East have caused far more damage than the Trump administration has publicly acknowledged, and an Iranian fighter jet was able to bomb at least one US base, NBC News reported on Saturday, citing unnamed US officials. The administration has attempted to cover up the damage to US bases in the war, and has gone as far as requesting that Planet Labs and other satellite imagery companies black out war images, making it difficult to ascertain the damage. The NBC report said that the Pentagon has also kept the information on the damage from Congress.

Iran Is Winning The War With The United States

More than a month has passed since the United States and Israel launched a war of aggression against Iran on February 28. It is now clear that Iran is winning this war. The Donald Trump administration has failed to carry out regime change or state collapse. The Iranian government has proven to be resilient. Tehran has used asymmetric tactics to defend itself, targeting the weak points of the US empire and exacting a heavy price on its military, economy, and allies. In fact, Iran has successfully destroyed the US military bases in West Asia, forcing many American troops out of the region. The Pentagon is primarily waging this war from bases in Europe.

Spain Blocks US Jets Bound For Iran

April 1, 2026 Ana Vracar, People's Dispatch. Resist! Iran, Spain, US Foreign Bases, Wars and Militarism

The Spanish government continues to stand out among European countries for its explicit refusal to become complicit in illegal US-Israeli attacks on Iran. Over recent days, government officials reasserted that the country had rejected use of its airspace for flights involved in the war. “All flight plans involving operations in Iran have been rejected,” Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez stated during a parliamentary address. Sánchez added this decision was made “because we are a sovereign country that does not want to participate in illegal wars.”

Armed Struggle Liberates Iraq After 23 Years Of Occupation

March 24, 2026 Nate Bear, Scheer Post. Strategize! Iraq, NATO, United States, US Foreign Bases

After weeks of attacks by Iraqi resistance groups, the US and NATO yesterday began evacuating all of their military personnel from Victoria Base in Baghdad. They are unlikely to return. This is an unprecedented, momentous achievement, and follows the January withdrawal of US and NATO troops from the Ain al-Asad airbase after years of attacks. These withdrawals mean the US presence in Iraq is now confined to Kurdistan. Iraqi fighters, with the support of Iran, have effectively decolonised their country, 23 years after the US invasion, and six years after Iraq’s parliament voted to expel US forces.

Close Military Bases, Not Embassies

April 24, 2025 David Swanson, Let's Try Democracy. Educate! Africa, AFRICOM, CIA, Diplomacy, US Foreign Bases, US Imperialism

TIn U.S. culture and media, where it’s one’s duty to pretend that the military budget and everything that goes with it does not exist, one could hardly be blamed for thinking that the closure of embassies actually meant a full departure. And one could hardly be blamed for thinking this a positive development. Those embassies have steadily been transformed over the decades into weapons dealerships, military sidekicks, and dens of spies. (The CIA may yet point out to Trump how many embassy employees are CIA and make him an offer he can’t refuse.) It’s hard sometimes to imagine other functions.

Close The US Military Bases In Asia

April 22, 2025 Jeffrey D. Sachs, Scheer Post. Educate! Asia, Japan, Korea, Military bases, US Foreign Bases, US Imperialism

President Donald Trump is again loudly complaining that the US military bases in Asia are too costly for the US to bear. As part of the new round of tariff negotiations with Japan and Korea, Trump is calling on Japan and Korea to pay for stationing the US troops. Here’s a much better idea: close the bases and return the US servicemen to the US. Trump implies that the US is providing a great service to Japan and Korea by stationing 50,000 troops in Japan and nearly 30,000 in Korea. Yet these countries do not need the US to defend themselves. They are wealthy and can certainly provide their own defense.

Ecuador’s Galapagos Islands Now Open To US Military

December 20, 2024 Pablo Meriguet, People's Dispatch. Educate! Biodiversity, Daniel Noboa, Ecuador, US Foreign Bases, US military

The national government of Daniel Noboa approved a resolution that enables US ships and crews to use the Galapagos Islands for control and patrol activities in the area. On February 15, 2024, Noboa signed a series military cooperation treaties with the US government, allowing ships, military personnel, armament, equipment, and submarines to be installed in the natural reserve, which UNESCO declared a World Natural Heritage Site in 1978. In doing so, Noboa ratified the Washington Agreement, signed by former President Guillermo Lasso. The agreement grants US soldiers and their contractors several privileges, exemptions, and immunity in Ecuadorian territory, similar to those enjoyed by members of diplomatic missions as agreed on in the Vienna Convention.

US forces at Washington’s occupation base in the Conoco oil field near eastern Syria’s Deir Ezzor governorate came under heavy attack during the early hours of 29 September. “Intense rocket and drone bombardment targeted the headquarters of the US occupation's armored forces stationed at the Conoco gas field base in Deir Ezzor,” Al Mayadeen's correspondent cited field sources as saying. “The intense shelling on Conoco resulted in direct hits on the headquarters of the armored division,” according to one of the sources. Sputnik’s correspondent reported the attack left casualties among the occupation troops. Local sources said the strikes were launched in response to a series of US airstrikes on Deir Ezzor’s Harabeesh neighborhood.

Pentagon Renovates Israeli Air Base

September 14, 2024 News Desk, The Cradle. Educate! Iran, Israel, Pentagon, US Foreign Bases

The US Department of Defense is building aircraft facilities in Israel to accommodate new US-made KC-46A Pegasus refueling tanker planes that could assist in an attack on Iran, The Intercept reported on 14 September. Army Corps of Engineers documents show new buildings will be constructed and existing buildings will be upgraded, including hangars, warehouses, and storage facilities, at a military base in the south of Israel. The project includes “establishing and adapting aviation and maintenance infrastructure for the KC-46,” including the construction of five new concrete and steel structures, the documents show.

The Biggest Military Base Empire On Earth

August 28, 2024 Greta Zarro, World Beyond War. Educate! Indigenous Peoples, US Foreign Bases, US Imperialism, Wars and Militarism

The United States of America, unlike any other nation on Earth, maintains a massive network of foreign military bases around the world, more than 900 bases in more than 90 countries and territories. If the peace movement is serious about ending the United States’ and its allies’ warmaking, then this global constellation of bases must be curtailed. The permanent stationing of more than 220,000 U.S. troops, weapons arsenals, and thousands of aircraft, tanks, and ships in every corner of the globe makes the logistics for U.S. aggression, and that of its allies, quicker and more efficient. Bases also facilitate the proliferation of nuclear weapons, with the United States keeping nuclear bombs in five NATO member countries, and nuclear-capable planes, ships, and missile launchers in many others.

We Win Peace When We Struggle For It: Cuba And The Zone Of Peace

May 25, 2024 Claudia O'Brien Moscoso, Black Agenda Report. Strategize! Americas, Cuba, May Day, US Foreign Bases, Zone of Peace

In the midst of May Day Celebrations in Cuba, on May 4th and 5th participants from 30 countries gathered in Guantanamo, Cuba for the 8th International Seminar for Peace and the Abolition of Foreign Military Bases. Representatives from social movements for peace, and mass based organizations from around the world came together for two days of discourse and dialogue on the conditions of peace and war during these times of US/Western backed Zionist genocide in Palestine, and the western led invasion of Haiti (with many of the same foreign interests involved in both), to declare the necessity to work towards peace and to close down all foreign military bases that are a direct threat to the sovereignty of those lands and to peace worldwide.

Gulf States Warn United States Not To Launch Strikes On Iran

April 13, 2024 Sean Mathews, Middle East Eye. Educate! Iran, Israel, US Foreign Bases, US Imperialism, Wars and Militarism, West Asia

Gulf monarchies are urging the US not to use American military bases on their territories to strike in response to any potential Iranian attack on Israel, sources told Middle East Eye. The US's Gulf allies are working overtime to shut down avenues that could link them to a US reprisal against Tehran or its proxies from bases inside their kingdoms, according to a senior US official who spoke with MEE on condition of anonymity. As tensions flare, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Oman and Kuwait have raised questions about the intricate details of basing agreements that permit tens of thousands of US troops to be stationed across the oil-rich peninsula.
