Iranian strikes have caused heavy damage to US military bases in the Middle East, according to a report. Officials told NBC News that repair costs may run into billions of dollars. The attacks reportedly hit bases in at least seven countries since the war began on February 28. Warehouses, command centres, aircraft hangars, runways, radar systems and communication networks were damaged. Some aircraft were also hit. The United States Department of Defense has not shared full details of the losses. Lawmakers criticised the lack of transparency as the Pentagon seeks a higher defence budget. (PC: Reuters)
