American troops stationed at the Al-Asad air base in Iraq were warned to take shelter well before Iran launched a series of missile attacks on the installation last week, cutting down significantly on potential casualties, according to CNN, which received an exclusive tour of the base’s security facilities.
The network reports that troops were given an advance warning two and a half hours before Iran launched a series of missiles, giving them ample time to scramble into bunkers beneath the air base or catch a flight out of the target zone.
