Brigadier General Hossein Mohebbi, spokesman for Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), released a detailed list of alleged damage inflicted on US military assets in the region over 15 days from July 8 to July 22, 2026. According to Mohebbi, the losses resulted from “decisive and heavy attacks” by Iran’s armed forces amid the ongoing regional conflict.
The IRGC statement organizes the claimed damage into four main sectors. Below is the full list as presented by the Iranian side, followed by the US response and an organized cost assessment.
Iranian Claims: Organized by Sector

▪️3 air and sea control and monitoring radars
▪️8 early warning and detection radar systems
▪️7 air missile defense radars
▪️3 EPS radar systems
▪️2 EPS 117 radars
▪️5 long-range radars
▪️2 air defense radars
▪️1 tactical radar complex
Support and Logistics Sector
▪️6 fighter and helicopter maintenance centers
▪️3 support and logistics centers
▪️12 fuel tanks
▪️17 weapons support, floating craft, and aircraft parts warehouses
▪️6 missile bunkers
Operational Infrastructure Sector
▪️6 MQ-9 drone hangars
▪️1 F-15 fighter preparation shed
▪️1 drone shed containing 8 brand-new drones
▪️2 command centers
▪️1 aircraft carrier refueling platform
▪️1 P-8 aircraft hangar
▪️4 HIMARS missile platforms
▪️5 fighter hangars
▪️4 Patriot air defense complexes
▪️6 missile launch platforms
▪️1 fuel pumping station
▪️2 signal telecommunication centers
▪️1 intelligence data center
▪️1 artificial intelligence / data processing center (described as related to Amazon)
▪️1 depot center for remotely managed vessels (Shampad)
▪️1 fuel pier
▪️4 fighter shelters
▪️6 flight and parking ramps
Air Operations Sector
▪️11 fighter jets and helicopters (on the ground)
▪️17 reconnaissance and operational drones (including 8 brand-new)
▪️1 F-15 fighter jet inside a shelter
▪️1 P-8 aircraft
▪️1 C-17 transport aircraft
▪️8 refueling aircraft
▪️4 heavy helicopters
▪️6 reserve missiles
US and Allied Response
US Central Command (CENTCOM) and the Pentagon have rejected or sharply downplayed Iranian claims of large-scale successful destruction. CENTCOM has repeatedly described specific IRGC assertions of major hits on key facilities and high US casualties as false, stating that many attacks were intercepted or missed and that personnel were accounted for.
The Pentagon has acknowledged limited impacts, including nearly 100 US service members injured. According to the US Centcom, the large majority mild traumatic brain injuries during the relevant period, with most returning to duty, alongside a small number of confirmed fatalities in the broader conflict. Host nations such as Kuwait and Bahrain reported intercepting or repelling multiple Iranian missile and drone attacks. Detailed public inventories of destroyed US equipment have not been released by American officials.
Earlier independent open-source analysis including satellite imagery reviews estimated approximately $800 million in damage to US-linked bases during the first two weeks of major fighting earlier in 2026. The mid-July IRGC list, if accurate, would represent a significantly higher cumulative figure.
Estimated Cost of Claimed Destruction
The following table uses publicly available unit-cost data to provide order-of-magnitude estimates. Figures assume the Iranian claims of destruction or severe irreversible damage are largely accurate. Actual replacement costs including logistics, training, and inflation are typically higher.
| Category / Key Items | Claimed Quantity (approx.) | Approx. Unit Cost | Illustrative Subtotal (Low–High) | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MQ-9 Reaper drones (incl. brand-new) | 17+ | $30–50 million | $510M – $850M | ||
| Fighters, helicopters & tankers (F-15s, other jets, heavy helos, refueling aircraft) | ~24 airframes | $40–150 million (varies widely) | $800M – $1.8B | ||
| P-8 Poseidon | 1 | $200–300 million | $200M – $300M | ||
| C-17 Globemaster | 1 | $225–340 million | $225M – $340M | ||
| Patriot radars & complexes (AN/MPQ-65 class + full complexes) | 6 radars + 4 complexes | Radar ~$110–130M; complex higher | $900M – $1.8B | ||
| Other radars & sensors (early-warning, long-range, EPS, tactical, etc.) | ~30+ systems | $15–80 million | $400M – $1.2B | ||
| Command, control, intel & communication centers (incl. AI/data center) | ~15+ facilities | $20–100 million | $250M – $700M | ||
| Hangars, shelters, ramps & maintenance facilities | ~20+ structures | $15–60 million | $300M – $800M | ||
| Fuel infrastructure (tanks, pumping station, pier) | 14+ | $10–40 million | $120M – $400M | ||
| Warehouses, bunkers, HIMARS platforms, missile launchers & logistics | 30+ | $5–30 million | $200M – $600M | ||
| Other (missile reserves, miscellaneous platforms) | Various | — | $50M – $150M | ||
| TOTAL ESTIMATED VALUE | — | — | $4.0 billion to $9.0 billion |
The IRGC presents the mid-July attacks as having caused substantial degradation of US radar, air defense, logistics, and air assets. The United States maintains that the scale of successful damage has been far lower than claimed, with most Iranian projectiles intercepted and only limited personnel injuries confirmed. Cost estimates based on the Iranian list place the potential value of destroyed or heavily damaged equipment and infrastructure in the range of $4–9 billion, though independent verification of the full inventory remains unavailable.
Both sides continue to issue competing narratives as the conflict evolves.
