Inside Iranian rocket attack that pushed US to the brink of war: Terrifying new footage shows missiles slamming into US base in Iraq and soldiers fleeing as general admits to 'retaliation' plan if Americans had died
11 missiles carrying 1,000-pound warheads rained down on Al Asad air base, where 2,000 American troops were stationed in Iraq on January 8, 2020
The assault came just five days after the assassination of Qassem Soleimani
Explosions sent fire soaring 70ft high over tiny bunkers crammed with soldiers, which were built only to withstand 60-pound warheads
A hundred soldiers suffered traumatic brain injuries in the attack but all survived
