Though this is American propaganda, one can still figure out what they tried to hide and how they tried to deceive the viewers. This video is about the missile attack on an American airbase in Iraq, Al Asad, by Iran after the assassination of Gen Soeleimani in Iraq. The video revealed a lot of interesting things that the Americans did not mean to show.
Point one, the Americans were trying to say the 15 or 16 missiles launched by the Iranians, though admitted as very accurate, did not cause any American casualty because the Americans knew they were coming and vacated the base and were looking from a distance. No one or aircraft were in the base to be hit. They were able to do that because of intelligence early warning. They moved 50 aircraft and 1,500 American soldiers out of harm's way.
The missiles were not hand grenades. They were powerful, 1000 pound bombs, and you could see the damages done to many of the buildings at the end of the video.
What can be found from the unsaid?
They were prepared but unprepared. If they were prepared, how come they had to squeeze 40 soldiers into a bunker built for 10? They claimed no casualty or loss of aircraft despite showing damages to the base. 11 missiles hit their targets but no fatality. Must be fake bombs, hot air?
This is how they lied, their propaganda warfare, that all the attacks were useless, cannot kill them.
They only showed a few missiles hit, no picture of the runways and a bigger picture of the base after the full attack. Oh, they did said Soeleimani was responsible for the death of 600 American soldiers. That was why they killed him in a drone attack.
They had no anti missile air defence system to protect the base! The missiles rained freely into the target air base.
Many purple hearts were awarded and no death? The Purple Heart Medal is awarded to members of the armed forces of the U.S. who are wounded by an instrument of war in the hands of the enemy and posthumously to the next of kin in the name of those who are killed in action or die of wounds received in action. It is specifically a combat decoration.
They claimed the most serious wound to their soldiers were severe headaches. Getting purple hearts for that, for concussion due to shock waves from the bombs?
The attack also showed that Iran would strike back hard, with 16 of their most powerful missiles. Could be more.
