The airport in the country's southwest has become completely non-functional due to the attacks, and the facility needs to be rebuilt from scratch to be usable again.

Mohajerani also reported that the civilian Bushehr Meteorology Center was largely obliterated. The recent attacks targeted 12 bridges and two tunnels, causing widespread damage to public infrastructure and private property. Fishing boats and tourism businesses in the affected regions suffered heavily, impacting the livelihoods of fishermen and the tourism sector.

A plane purchased and renovated for public use was directly hit by a missile attack, with only a small part of its tail remaining.

The nation lost approximately 230 million cubic meters of natural gas production capacity due to the conflict with the U.S. and Israel. Mohajerani emphasized the severe economic consequences of this energy infrastructure loss. Iran had previously demanded compensation for the destruction caused by the attacks, with initial estimates placing the total direct and indirect damages at around $270 billion since the conflict began on February 28.
