'Iran has caused ‘billions’ in damage to American intelligence assets, report says' https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/iran-war-damage-military-billions-b3039768.html "Iran has caused “billions” of dollars in damage to U.S. intelligence infrastructure, according to a new report, which comes as the war continues to drag on with no clear end in sight. Iranian drones and missiles have struck “intelligence posts and surveillance hardware in the Middle East that is more extensive than any destruction America’s spy agencies have endured,” NBC News reported, citing four unnamed sources. The damage is expected to cost billions to repair."
