Recently leaked military memos have surfaced, revealing that U.S. service members stationed at Al Asad airbase during Iran’s 2020 retaliatory missile strike may have been exposed to hazardous and radioactive materials, according to a documentary by Catherine Herridge.
The strike, which occurred on January 8, 2020, was Iran’s retaliation for the U.S. drone strike that killed top Iranian General Qassem Soleimani just days earlier, ordered by then-President Donald Trump.
Iran’s missile barrage on Al Asad airbase remains one of the deadliest strikes in modern military history, with eleven missiles, each weighing over 1,600 pounds, raining down on U.S. forces. Soldiers describe it as nothing short of a miracle that anyone survived.
