Overview
- Satellite images from Planet Labs PBC revealed the geodesic dome was intact on the morning of June 23 but missing with scorch marks by June 25
- The dome housed a $15 million Modernized Enterprise Terminal installed in 2016 by the 379th Air Expeditionary Wing to secure CENTCOM voice, video and data links
- American and Qatari Patriot batteries intercepted 13 of 14 missiles in the June 23 barrage, with only one warhead striking the communications structure
- President Trump said Iran gave advance notice of the strike, allowing personnel to evacuate equipment and avoid any injuries
- Iran’s Revolutionary Guard claimed the base was “completely destroyed,” a stark contrast to U.S. assessments and the swift ceasefire that ended 12 days of regional fighting
