Bases across the country have been heavily damaged by US strikes, the images reviewed by BBC Verify show, with experts identifying damage to air force jets, warships and ballistic missile facilities.

US officials say they have hit more than 13,000 targets across Iran since the conflict began on 28 February.

On Tuesday and Wednesday night, US and Iranian forces exchanged fresh waves of strikes following the downing of a US helicopter in the Gulf. Over the weekend, Iran and Israel also traded attacks, with Israel striking southern Beirut as well as military sites in the Islamic Republic.

While a temporary ceasefire has been in place for more than a month, President Donald Trump claimed late last month that the US has "defeated them [Iran] militarily".
