Iran is retaliating against the U.S. with strikes on American sites throughout the Middle East. Our reporter Eric Schmitt looks at the damage these attacks have caused and what they say about Iran’s strategy in the war. Read more: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
We identified at least 17 damaged U.S. sites and other installations, several of which have been struck more than once since the war began. Our analysis is based on satellite imagery, verified social media videos and statements by gov. officials. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
The footage seems to contradict the Department of Homeland Security’s account of the event, which the agency said began after the victim approached the federal agents with a handgun and the intent to “massacre” them.

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites
The style is now unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war
An analysis of dozens of 3D animations published by the Israeli army discovered digital assets sourced not from classified intelligence but rather from commercial libraries and content creators as far afield as Scotland and Port Orchard.

Someone just shared your great and speedy reporting on this, hence the follow. Will be keeping an eye on your work going forward!
