Iranian missiles and drones, and one instance of friendly fire, have destroyed US military equipment worth $2.3bn and $2.8bn, Al Jazeera’s Alia Chugtai reports citing an assessment by the Washington, DC-based Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).

This estimate does not include losses incurred at US bases in the region or naval assets.
