I was a contractor in Iraq and was stationed at Camp Taji airbase about 150 miles away from Al Asad when this attack happen. Working on that night we had to scramble to get a C17 off the airfield, because that attack was imminent. But that attack by Iran was just the beginning, 2 months later on March 12th Katiab Hezbolla who's commander was also killed with Soleimani, launched a rocket barrage of more than 15 rockets that killed 3 people, 2 days later another rocket barrage of more than 25 rockets luckily on 25 of the 56 fired struck our base. The Iraqi military found the launch site and the had 7 launchers set up with each launcher holding 8 rockets. During that time we had zero air defenses on the base. Crazy times
hey can you email me that"s insane i got some questions about contracting i would really apreciate it
I am currently here. I came June 2021 and dint know this until today. Now I am scared
The first sentence in this interview is how it's. Trump's fault and that Biden inherited this mess from him.
What is the military's personnel's actual views? Do you know the sentiments?
It's called shell shock. Millions of Iraqi's, Afghans, Libyans, Syrians etc etc suffer from it at the hands of Americans and this cry baby gets a purple heart.

As a historian, I can't even begin to tell you how disappointed I am at the opening to this segment. I'll only say this, if you can't remember commonly known history or be bothered to consult a historian, at least do the bare minimum of due diligence and look up a Wikipedia article on "Iran-United States relations." You should be embarrassed 60 Minutes.
So u mean the iran government are the good guys and th US are the bad guys?
@@juanzulu1318 I think they are saying they need to do research on relations with Iran because we’ve had tensions for a very long time and they said it was as recent as trump
They're never embarrassed. This is the plan and they run with it. 60 mins has never been know for unbiased reporting.
I agree with you Vash Dakari. An avid history buff here.
60 minutes is just another globalist elites propaganda outlet, not to be taken seriously.
You forget, leftists, socialists and communists never admit to being wrong. They are superior intellectuals and look down their nose at us mere mortals. Embarrassment is something real human beings Why are you still watching 60 minutes? I don't watch any leftist corrupt news for the same reason I don't drink water out of the toilet. They are both full of sheyut!
I was @ Al-Assad in 2003/04. It was there that I literally started writing my book under a US Marine tank. We visited with my CSM and other CSM's for a meeting. Then we got attack. I will never forget it.
Wow, but it seems like Iran did it with precise calculation. They're demonstrating their strength, much like they did with Israel, without escalating to direct conflict. Personally, I believe there's no need for Iran and the US to engage in warfare. Diplomacy, mutual respect, and direct dialogue are the most effective tools for resolving issues.
How could a 4 star general never experience a missile attack.

He didnt blame it on trump he was stating facts dont be a snowflake
I feel bad for the man who made the video but am also happy he survived. The other thing is it weird how they knew this would happen and didn't clear out the base.
Of course they knew Iran let them know because Iran had just had a drone missle hit a colonel in there country
They still had an on going combat mission there that didn’t pause for the attack, that’s why they only kept essential personnel on the base. I suspect Iran wanted to rattle them, but went through lengths to make it known that the attacks were going to happen, they knew if anyone were to of been killed, President Trump had a real set of balls and would lit up their world.
they knew because Iran warned them. There were not 2000 US troops on the base, It had been evacuated hours earlier of all but essential personnel. 60 minutes failed to mention that.

When i lived on Anaconda(Al-Asad) we took alot of Rocket attacks, but we also had C-Rams & L-Rads to shoot back. Most of our casualties cam from Propeller Or Mortars since there smaller.
The nightmares of war never end.
So we're in a theater of operations and are not prepared for incoming air strikes ???? Wtf
Sorry. But that was sop for all troops in Iraq and Afghanistan for all who served there. Bunkers to run and hide in after incoming announcements, as viewed by the eyes in the skies balloons floating over each base. No iron domes, but if u were lucky, double thickness Kevlar over the DFACs to stop or mitigate incoming.
They were expecting WWI biplanes to bring the hand held bombs and do strafing runs with their water-cooled machine guns.
It's not a common threat, most attacks are rockets, mortars, etc, not ballistic missiles with massive payloads. They have plenty of defense for other types of attacks like C-RAMs (counter rocket artillery and mortar) the blimp in the sky with a crazy camera, and others im probably forgetting about.
The US wants to be justify an attack on Syria or Iran and further build its international case for war with these 2 countries. Also more attacks keeps the weapons and arms share prices valuable. Thats how the US works, privatize weapon companies, lobby congress to be pro war. Money money, just like Cheyney did with Iraq so he and his pals "defense" companies could profit. And of course steal oil and gold. People will say there are missile defense systems maybe there are but they sure are not being used.
Exactly what I was thinking...at least bases with multi-million dollar aircraft and large amount of troops, should have Patriot air defenses.
Iran sent an alert to the US troops before doing this attack which prevented the massacre from happening
Yes and no, yes they sent an alert, but by that time the troops were already aware of the attack and the evac plan was almost completed
@@arkcantoscreampsnpc7274 is that what they told you ?
@@arkcantoscreampsnpc7274 They told the Iraqi government of the plan. Later not sure if the Iraqi government had told the US military or that intel intercepted and send the needed information where it needed to go, they publicly announced that the Iraqi government was helping Iran.

Iran was not projected to have precision strike capability with their ballistic missiles.
@@arkcantoscreampsnpc7274 iranian army literally has all its ballistic missiles underground. No-one was aware of this attack. The US army got warned about it.
What the US officers are saying that they had intell of the Iranian attack is a bunch of crap! Iran alerted Iraq of the attack so that they won't have casualties. The Iraqies told the Americans of the attack.
Moral of the story don't attack people for no reason. Because they'll attack back. Talk peace not war.❤😊

Note to 60 Minutes producers: The “poisonous relationship” with Iran began in 1979 during the Carter Administration.
Much earlier than that. www.npr.org/2019/01/31/690363402/how-the-cia-overthrew-irans-democracy-in-four-days There were also 2 additional reasons. The Country boundary lines were incorrectly drawn after WW2 and didn't separate like groups of people, Israel was also artificially inserted into the region. The other big problem is lots of easily accessible oil reserves, so there was an interest in this region for developed economies.
Propaganda doesn’t care about facts.
Much earlier than 1979.....
Wrong. It started in 1952 when the USA and U K murdered Iranian democracy for the benefit of corporate America and Britain.
@@bonnyfaceokpuzor5098 Actually WW2 when you shitheads sides with Hitler....but ignore the obvious history and go with the favorable historical facts.....
60 minutes conveniently left out the fact that Iran themselves warned the US about the attack on this particular base some 6 hours prior! It was done through diplomatic channels via Iraq. That's why there were no casualties. It was a negotiated "attack"
In this video gen makenzy just said we saw missles refuling by satelites🤔
Well they gotta leave that out it’s got to be more dramatic remember it’s western media
This is a bit more nuanced than the Iranian Military and/or leadership 'warning the US' they are going to attack that base. In reality, had that been the case, only a very few individuals would've remained at the base, e.g. only those that could fit into the concrete bunkers.
I believe that persons inside Iran feared the U.S. Military retaliation would be overwhelming - suicide for the Iranian Military - and for that reason warned the US. Additionally, it seems obvious that we were even aware of the times in which commercial satellites could photograph our bases. Certainly our Space Force is aware of every location and orbital position of not only commercial and military (russia, china) satellite but also of space junk so astronauts and equipment can be moved out of the way. So, not too far fetched.
The hard reality is that if an enemy has ballistic missiles, they must be put in launch position and often from fixed launch sites, so we will be aware when their heat blooms begin to show. We likely could have attacked those launch sites before the launch, but I do agree that Trump didn't want war with Iran, but he made it clear to them that if they killed US personnel, their bases would be destroyed, along with specific personnel.
So, likely a "face-saving" plan for Iran OR a few within their ranks thought, let's not take on the United States Military because we killed a bunch of their troops with missiles. Yet, Soliemani had killed thousands with his band of terror weapons and QUDS force fighters posing as Iraqi's during the Operation Iraqi Freedom. Of course saddam had nothing to do with 9/11. But we were all feeling the need to stomp through everywhere BUT Saudi Arabia (the true culprits).
Conversely, we needed to show the hajis, everywhere, that attacking the US or it's personnel would mean them being blown to bits. Yet rebuilt with American treasure and blood, only to have the Haji's tear it all down the minute we left. (See Afghanistan).
@@cookiemonster3420 is KPOP western media??
@@johnnytdufc Please tell me which country with the same military capabilities as Iran, Russia or China has the US fought?, non. The US only fights impoverished and weak countries like Vietnam, Somalia, Afghanistan, Mali, Cuba etc... In Vietnam, the US fought with famers and yet 60 000 - 100 000 US soldiers died and over 200 000 injured. A war with Iran with make the US loose it's superpower status and will have almost a million soldiers dead and that goes for Iran too. The US military planners have exhausted such ideas and have understood that a war with Iran will be catastrophic for both countries.
Also, Israel, Saudi Arabia, UAE will have their cities turned into ghost cities. The king of Saudi Arabia will die in a weak of that war and Saudi monarch will end, if the US attack Iran's vital institutions then Iran will consider the same attack for Israel, Saudi oil and other civilian infrastructure. One thing though, China will love to see the US go to war with Iran and they can't wait for it because then they won't have to fight the US to take over global dominance.

He said 11 of 16. Accurate and reliable are two different things. Even if 5 had some sort of malfunction that induced a miss, if the other 11 hit what they were aiming for, that's still accurate.

I notice how 60 minutes try to present it like Trump caused a bad relationship with Iran and Biden can make it better. Then as you keep watching you get a more accurate picture.
This video is nothing more than US propaganda pushed out through through Operation Mockingbird.
This is pro wwiii propaganda by the pro Biden pro war industrial media complex
I did not watch past the intro because I knew it would be corrupt lying news when 60 minutes came on.
I like how they said "Inherited from Trump"
LOL haven't we always been enemies with Iran ever since the hostage crisis?
Edit: The Replies down here bro🤣🤣🤣🤣 this is an avengers level threat ☠️
We can tell which way 60 minutes leans
Yep. Since the hostages during Carter administration. (A democrat). They didn’t release them until Reagan took office.
US was meddling in Iran 20 years before the hostage crisis, learn your history.
Yea, cause muslims would never hurt Americans.
Trump assassinated an Iranian General during a diplomatic visit on Iraqi soil and Iran retaliated. It's as simple as that! And that's what they inherited from Trump! And if you wanna bring up history then get your facts straight because the issues US has had with Iran started long before the hostage crisis.
You don't overthrow a democratically elected Iranian government and install a puppet king due to a lack of issues or because your just such good friends with their ppl!
U.S. needs to get over it's obsession with Iran and until they do nothing will change.
What exactly has this obsession gotten you anyway? U.S. could have colonized the moon with amount of money they spent in Afghanistan alone! You want oil then drill into the Atlantic you can find more oil there then all the M.E. combined! The U.S. real enemies are morons that have the U.S. obsessing over Iran.
What options are there to defend against ballistic missiles? The fact that the base didn't ever contemplate such an attack was a bit of surprise to me but you know what they about hindsight.
Thank you for all the support
The comments show me how smart the American people actually are. We ain’t buying the garbage the media is selling.
60 minutes has always been toxic
Iran attacked us in Iraq so we bombed Syria. 2 more degrees and we could have gotten to Kevin Bacon.
Sure, looney tunes.
why are you watching 60 minutes then?
*There is hope. lol*
Would be nice if the "reporter" actually reported instead of being a propaganda mouthpiece. We inherited the Iran problem from Jimmy Carter!!
Inherited the problem?? I would say caused the problem, ousting a popularly elected government, and installing the current system. America bought this upon themselves with their medling in the internal affairs of a sovereign nation, which is what they still continue to do whenever they don't like the way another country chooses to run it's affairs in it's own way. I can't help but wonder how american leaders would react if the rest of the world acted the same way towards America, as America treats those it disagrees with........

@@lizzard7473 it’s sad how sick theses people are
@@lizzard7473 The reporter is specifically referring to the NEWLY heightened tensions between the US and Iran which originated with the death of the Iranian general at the behest of the TRUMP administration. Trump played a major role in this and it is accurate to say this new string of conflicts was, indeed, “inherited by the Trump administration.” Before Soleimani’s death, there was no risk of war. After his death, there was and still is. Trump did that, whether you agree with his decision or not.
Imagine this happening, but instead of Iraqis firing missiles at an American military base, its American missiles raining down on a Iraqi town with civilians.

It kinda hit me when they knew Iran was downloading its last acquired photo for the day, its like the sattelite company personally reached out to them lol
US oddly I think is probably the best if at anything is information warfare. I mean the Iraq Invasion was somthing pretty impressive as well.
How could there not be any missle defense capabilities at a forward air base.
Imagine firing 16 guided missiles and killing no one and destroying like 2 trucks.

Rules of engagement may not seem fair or ideal, but they are there primarily to mitigate unintended casualties, both from otherwise innocent civilians and potential friendly fire. Our technical sophistication and capability for lethal precision demands it be wielded with preponderance of caution.
