CBS: The US military was under pressure to downplay the consequences of Iran’s missile strike.
The U.S. military has been under pressure to downplay the aftermath of an Iranian missile strike on the Ain al-Assad base, a U.S. media report said.
The CBS news website today (Thursday, November 11th) published the results of a study that shows that dozens of people who were injured in the Iranian missile attack on the Ain al-Assad base on January 8, 2020, received medals of courage and medical benefits. Have not been detected.
According to CBS, Sergeant “Din Vasagar” is one of the soldiers who stayed on the day of the Iranian attack on the Ain al-Assad base on January 8 to defend the base.
A few days before the attack, the US terrorist army had martyred Sardar Qassem Soleimani, the martyred commander of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and a number of his companions near Baghdad International Airport.
“Iran demolished the base into 11 warheads, each weighing 1,600 pounds,” CBS wrote in retaliation for the missile strike, which Iran carried out in retaliation.
“Everything shook,” Vasagar told the American media. “The whole world was shaken.”
CBS writes that the blast wave of one of the missiles that hit the ground 150 feet from Wasagar caused him to fall. According to the American media, Wasagar and members of his team suffered a concussion.
“I am no longer the person I was before the stroke,” he said. There are parts of me that remain. “Pieces of me are still there, but there is no news of that previous person.”
Wassagar Commander-in-Chief Geoffrey Hansen, 32, said a large number of soldiers were eligible for the Medal of Courage.
In an October 6 letter to Sibias, Hansen called on the army command to reconsider awarding the medals and awarding the prize to all soldiers wounded in Ain al-Assad.
“Throughout my military service, I have been told that we care about soldiers more than any other factor,” he told US media. “I am shocked that we have not done so here.”
A spokesman for the U.S. military confirmed to CBS that the medals were being reconsidered and that more US troops were eligible to receive them.
One such recipient of the award is Jason Quetga, who committed suicide last month. He was one of the people who suffered a concussion in the attack on Ayn al-Assad.
