On July 23, 2026, a US military official confirmed to The New York Times that Iranian strikes on US military assets in the Middle East earlier this month damaged drone shelters and radar systems. The attacks, which occurred in July, injured nearly a dozen US soldiers.
The injured personnel were flown to a US military hospital in Landstuhl, Germany, for treatment. The official spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the ongoing situation.
The strikes targeted US facilities in the region, though specific locations were not disclosed. The damage included drone shelters and radar systems, according to the official.
This incident marks a significant escalation in tensions between Iran and the United States. The US military is assessing the full extent of the damage and considering its response.
