In a new investigative report, Emmy-winning journa In a new investigative report, Emmy-winning journalist Catherine Herridge presents military records that raise fresh concerns about the long-term impact of Iran’s January 2020 missile strike on al-Asad Air Base in Iraq. The documents suggest the attack may have involved exposure to toxic agents, including radiation, potentially aimed at U.S. personnel stationed there. Six years on, a growing number of service members report serious health issues—ranging from traumatic brain injuries to newly diagnosed cancers—which they attribute to the aftermath of the strike. Herridge speaks with Retired Lieutenant Colonel Al Johnson and former Army JAG Al Broadbent, who warn that the unfolding health crisis bears troubling similarities to the legacy of Agent Orange.

President Donald Trump on Saturday called for an e President Donald Trump on Saturday called for an end to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s 37-year reign.
“It’s time to look for new leadership in Iran,” Trump told POLITICO, as widespread protests calling for an end to the regime appear to have waned.

Thousands of protesters across the country were killed over the last three weeks, prompting Trump to repeatedly threaten military intervention. On Tuesday, Trump called on Iranians to keep protesting and “take over institutions,” saying that “help is on its way.”
The next day, the president abruptly changed course, saying he had been informed that the killings had stopped.
“The best decision he ever made was not hanging more than 800 people two days ago,” Trump said Saturday, when asked about the size of a possible U.S. military operation in Iran.
Trump’s comments came shortly after Khamenei’s X account posted a series of hostile messages aimed at Trump, accusing the U.S. president of being responsible for deadly violence and unrest in Iran.
“We find the US President guilty due to the casualties, damages and slander he inflicted upon the Iranian nation,” Khamenei wrote.
In another post, he said Trump had mischaracterized violent groups as representing the Iranian people, calling it “an appalling slander.”

Trump, after being read the posts, said Tehran’s rulers rely on repression and violence to govern. “What he is guilty of, as the leader of a country, is the complete destruction of the country and the use of violence at levels never seen before,” Trump said. “In order to keep the country functioning — even though that function is a very low level — the leadership should focus on running his country properly, like I do with the United States, and not killing people by the thousands in order to keep control.”
