At least 39 energy oil refineries, natural gas fields and other energy sites in 9 countries have been damaged since US and Israel began bombarding Iran, a @nytimes analysis found. Some have been struck by drones. Several have been hit more than once. nytimes.com/interactive/2026…

U.S. military officials said the overnight strikes on Kharg Island targeted storage sites for missiles and mines, not oil. Sat imagery from today seems to square with at least part of that account; the oil depots don’t appear to be damaged.

Interestingly, some locations hit in the video shared by CENTCOM had already been damaged by March 11. It is unclear from the current sat imagery if those locations, which include an apparent communications tower, sustained additional damage.

The extent of the damage caused by the overnight strikes in these locations and others on the island (outlined in linked post) is not yet clear. Will be interesting to see once higher res sat imagery becomes available. x.com/evanhill/status/203285…

Building on @Mitch_Ulrich's geolocations of U.S. strikes on Kharg Island overnight, reviewed/tweaked and overlaid them on pre-conflict Feb. 26 @Planet imagery:

🧵Earlier today, President Trump (@realDonaldTrump) posted footage showcasing the airstrikes on the island of Kharg, in the Bushehr province of Iran. This thread will aim to show the geolocations in relation to the strikes. H/T: @Mitch_Ulrich

A US-made HIMARS launcher was filmed firing missiles at Iran from Bahrain. Most other Gulf states have denied that the US has launched attacks from its soil against Iran. Bahrain has remained silent on this question. nytimes.com/2026/03/13/world…

Ruben Ray Martinez, a 23-year old U.S. citizen, was shot by federal immigration agents on March 15, 2025 in South Padre Island, Texas. Almost a year after the shooting, Texas Department of Public Safety released footage from surveillance cameras at two businesses and from the body cameras of five local and state officers. But the footage provides an incomplete view of what took place. One body camera is missing the crucial eight seconds during which the shooting happened, another body camera had video and audio that were out of sync, and the surveillance footage from one business, which jumps forward in time sporadically, also skips the moment of the shooting.

The Feb. 28 strike on the elementary school was the result of a targeting mistake by the U.S., preliminary inquiry says: “U.S. Central Command created the target coordinates for the strike using outdated data provided by the Defense Intelligence Agency.” nytimes.com/2026/03/11/us/po…

“Made in USA” and Department of Defense codes: new photos of weapon debris allegedly recovered from Feb. 28 school strike in Minab show remnants consistent with a U.S.-made Tomahawk cruise missile. w/ @malachybrowne @johnismay nytimes.com/2026/03/09/world…

New video adds to the growing evidence that the U.S. hit an elementary school killing 175 people. It contradicts President Trump’s claim that Iran was responsible. First reported by @Easybakeovensz & @mabl2k. NYT story with @johnismay below. nytimes.com/live/2026/03/08/…

Thread covering a few other radar systems potentially affected by Iran’s recent strikes
Replying to @devonjlum
A few updates, with details threaded: - In Jordan, an AN/TPY-2 radar appears to have been hit - In Qatar, an AN/FPS-132 radar appears to have sustained damage - It remains unclear if the strike at Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia hit an AN/TPY-2 radar

In Apr ‘23, an AN/TPY-2 radar system was at or near the building Iran recently hit at Prince Sultan Air Base. But these systems are transportable; this one moved before a roof was built by May 25, ‘23. The system was not clearly present amongst the debris in sat imagery from Tues
