Iran has destroyed US military equipment, including a Boeing E-3 sentry in Saudi Arabia.

The war between the US and Iran has cost the US tens of billions of dollars and changed US military strategy.

After a short peace, fighting started again with the US hitting Iran and Iran fighting back.

The war has cost the US $37.5 billion, and politicians have approved more money for it.

The US House of Representatives approved $1.15 trillion for the military, which will help pay for the war.

If the US plans to fight more, it could lose more equipment and supplies.

The US military has been hurt by the war, with many losses and damage to bases and equipment.

This is what the US has lost and how it could affect the future.

US bases have been damaged.

Iran has attacked US bases in the Middle East, causing a lot of damage.

There are at least 19 US military bases in the Middle East.

Early in the war, US bases in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Jordan were badly damaged.

One base, Camp Buehring in Kuwait, was hit by Iranian planes, damaging buildings.

US base Camp Buehring in Kuwait was attacked at the start of the war.

A Jordanian base was hit by an Iranian missile, destroying a defense system worth $500 million.

The same base was attacked again, killing three US soldiers.

The US Ali Al Salem base in Kuwait has been hit many times, injuring 20 US personnel.

A naval base in Bahrain was also attacked, destroying communication equipment.

Satellite images show damage to warehouses and headquarters at the naval base in Bahrain.

It could cost $4-9 billion to rebuild the damaged bases.

The attacks will have a bigger impact than just physical damage, says a defense expert.

US bases were thought to be safe, but now they are vulnerable to attack.

The fact that Iran can attack US bases has a psychological impact.

This marks the end of an era when the US was dominant in controlling airspace.

Iran has also targeted secret US outposts in the Gulf.

Iran recently hit CIA facilities in the Gulf, prompting an investigation into Russian involvement.

Iranian strikes on US infrastructure have been precise, says a defense advisor.

There were no random attacks, and some were meant to cause casualties.

Loss of personnel is a big cost for the US.

18 US service members have been killed since the war started.

Four died recently, including one in northern Iraq.

Six US soldiers were killed in Kuwait at the start of the war.

Another six service members died in March when a plane crashed in Iraq.

A navy pilot died when a helicopter crashed into the Arabian Sea.

The Pentagon has been accused of hiding information about US casualties.

A defense expert is concerned that more US lives will be lost.

People are questioning why the US is still fighting and if the lives lost are worth it.

The US has used up many of its weapons.

The military has used up munitions at a rate it cannot afford, says a defense expert.

The US has used many of its high-value systems, which are hard to replace.

One example is the THAAD mobile system, which is used for missile defense.

The US was already in a hole before the war, and now it's even deeper.

It will take years for the US to recover the numbers of weapons it has lost.
