The United States Defense Department released on Monday (March 1) drone video showing an Iranian missile attack on U.S. forces at al-Asad Air Base in Iraq. Iran launched 16 short-range ballistic missiles on the morning of January 8, with at least 11 hitting Iraq's al-Asad air base and one striking a facility in Erbil. The U.S. military said that over 100 troops were diagnosed with some form of traumatic brain injury after the attack. The attack was retaliation for a U.S. drone strike in Baghdad on January 3 that killed Qassem Soleimani, the commander of the elite Quds Force of Iran's Revolutionary Guard. #DOD #Iran #Iraq #Drone #USMilitary #Attack #News #Reuters Subscribe: http://smarturl.it/reuterssubscribe Reuters brings you the latest business, finance and breaking news video from around the globe.
