Al Asad Missile Attack Nearly Killed 150 US Troops, Destroyed 30 Aircraft: Report
The Defense Department released newly declassified footage of the ballistic missile strikes on Al Asad last year.
The video the Pentagon released this week shows drone footage of the 2020 attack, which brought the U.S. and Iran danger close to war. The footage shows explosion after explosion erupting at the base.
No American troops died in the attack, but Marine Gen. Kenneth "Frank" McKenzie told 60 Minutes the U.S. had a plan to retaliate if they had been. He estimates the U.S. was close to losing between 100 and 150 personnel and up to 30 aircraft.
