《华尔街日报》在战争前六个月期间，确认了中东地区24个驻有美军的设施中共有274处建筑受损，这是迄今为止对该损失情况最全面的公开统计。
The Wall Street Journal identified 274 damaged structures at 24 installations with a U.S. military presence across the Middle East during the war’s first six months—the most comprehensive public accounting of that damage to date.
五角大楼拒绝提供基地受损的具体评估，而美国主要商业卫星公司在战争早期就停止发布该地区军事设施的高分辨率图像。因此，《华尔街日报》记者开发了分析欧盟公开的低分辨率图像的方法，检查了数万张卫星图片，并查阅了美国国家航空航天局（NASA）的火灾追踪数据、伊朗国家媒体报道及其他来源。
The Pentagon has declined to give specific assessments of base damage, and major U.S. commercial satellite companies stopped releasing high-resolution imagery of military installations in the region early in the war. So Journal reporters developed methods for analyzing lower-resolution public imagery from the European Union, inspected tens of thousands of satellite images and reviewed NASA data tracking fires, Iranian state media and other sources.
