Iranian missile and drone strikes during the US-Israeli aggression caused unprecedented damage to CIA facilities and equipment across West Asia, a report cited by state-run Press TV says.

Four officials familiar with the damage told NBC News that the destruction represents an unprecedented setback for US intelligence agencies.

Iranian missiles and drones hit intelligence sites as well as conventional military targets, including a CIA office in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and an intelligence centre in Iraq’s Sulaymaniyah Province. Radar systems and other surveillance equipment were also struck, along with fixed electronic intelligence stations, satellite communications systems and data-processing centres.

The strikes also spread across a wide geographic area, with an earlier assessment finding more than 100 targets.

The financial toll is enormous, with the American Enterprise Institute estimating that infrastructure repairs alone could exceed $5 billion, excluding damaged equipment and weapons.
