🇮🇷 The US and Israel have said they carry out “precision strikes” on Iranian regime assets. But a Bloomberg News analysis reveals that targets can often be found in mostly residential or commercial areas, with many civilian buildings suffering extensive damage ⤵️ www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...
A treemap-style chart shows the predominant land use within satellite-detected damage clusters in Tehran: 32% military, 25% industrial, 21% civilian, 19% commercial, 2% government, and 1% unclassified. Below, a large grid of small treemap tiles represents individual damage clusters, showing that many damaged areas classified as military or government also include nearby civilian and commercial assets. A callout highlights one cluster around the headquarters of Tehran’s internal security forces, hit on March 1: nearly half of detected land-use types were civilian or commercial assets.
