The latest satellite images of Iran have revealed the full the scale of devastation left in the wake of US-Israeli airstrikes throughout the last three days.

Hostilities enter their third day in the Middle East, with the US and Israel continuing to launch attacks on the Islamic Republic of Iran following the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Satellite images collected on Sunday by US spatial intelligence firm Vantor show the widespread devastation on a number range of Iranian targets. Targets appear to have included a drone base, a naval facility, and a radar system.

Perhaps the most striking of images are of Enghelab Square in Tehran. Pictures taken from space show thousands upon thousands of mourners in the streets, clad in black, just north of Leadership House where the Supreme Leader was killed.

Footage filmed by those in the crowd and confirmed by the ABC indicates that the event was, in fact, one of mass grief for nation’s now-dead Supreme Leader.

In Konarak, on Iran’s south-east coast, imagery shows destroyed and sinking naval vessels, with damaged buildings blackended and smouldering adjacent to the pier.

The imagery comes in the wake of confirmation by the US military confirmed on Sunday that it had struck a Iranian Jamaran-class corvette.

CENTCOM stated the vessel was “sinking to the bottom of the Gulf of Oman” following the strike.

Also taken in Konarak, other satellite shots show destroyed and damaged buildings, storage bunkers, and aircraft shelters at known Iranian drone and air bases.

In eastern Iran, at the Zahedan airbase near the country’s borders with Afghanistan and Pakistan, satellite shots reveal an obliterated radar system.

Before and after shots of the Supreme Leader’s Tehran compound, Leadership House, strike a stark comparison.

Airstrikes struck the compound, containing Iran’s supreme leader on February 28. He was killed in the assault, with the satellite shots showing the flattened, blackened facility and what was left of it following airstrikes that aimed to kill Khamenei.

More than 200,000 British nationals, including military personnel, are thought to be at risk in the Gulf as the Tehran regime launches further missiles at its neighbours.

Late on Sunday, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer accused Iran of pursuing a “scorched earth strategy”, granting a request by the US to utilise British bases to protect both UK nationals and its allies in the Middle East.

Sir Keir said British forces would not be directly involved in the strikes, and the bases would only be used for the “specific and limited defensive purpose” of targeting missile storage depots and launchers being used to attack Iran’s neighbours.

Hours later, at midnight local time on Sunday, a suspected drone attack struck a UK military base in Cyprus, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) confirmed.

RAF Akrotiri reported no casualties.

An MoD spokesperson said: “Our armed forces are responding to a suspected drone strike at RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus at midnight local time. Our force protection in the region is at the highest level and the base has responded to defend our people. This is a live situation and further information will be provided in due course.”

According to the MoD’s website, the joint operating base is “used as a forward mounting base for overseas operations in the Middle East and for fast jet training”. It is understood the UK Government recently moved additional resources to bases in Cyprus as part of ongoing operations in the Middle East.
