BREAKING: I have obtained military records that suggest Iran’s January 2020 ballistic missile attack on al-Asad Air Base targeted US troops with numerous toxic agents, including radiation.

Six years after the attack, US service members that were involved are now battling traumatic brain injuries and emerging cancers they blame on the toxic fallout.

I sat down with Retired Lieutenant Colonel Al Johnson and Retired Army JAG Al Broadbent who say a new “Agent Orange” crisis may be on our hands.

One of the foundations of my outlook is the strong impulse to get revenge. Americans should feel that way, in my opinion.

I hope the Iranians will feel suffering one way or another.

The embassy hostage 444 day crisis with Americans threatened with death on a whim by the squirrelly Iranian punks including the ones who used the American flag to carry out wet garbage for the TV cameras, is already enough reason for the holy work of revenge.

Iran has been at war with the United States since 1979 when the Shah was forced into exile. But you knew that didn’t you?

The terror coming out of Iran has been unending since 1979. It hasn’t paused, and it won’t stop until all its leaders are killed. Sure, I can’t predict what may follow, but this I know, regardless of the report by Herridge, it’s long past time for them to pay for what they have done.

I’m sure the Mossad agents are busy stirring things up. I wish them much success.

I highly respect Catherine Herridge’s reporting and integrity; however, the timing on the release of this information is really “raises eyebrows.”

I have to agree that the timing is indeed interesting!

Holding this revelation back for 6 years...the timing is not the least bit convenient?

The Ayatollah and his minions, the terrorist gangs, are the scum of the planet. They deserve to die.

Is her source people trying to claim service connected injuries to get increased benefits, or is it real military reorts?

Terror? If we’re looking for the epicenter of terror it’s the damned Saudi Sunni faction. But they are our buddies. Netanyahu really wants us to attack iran again it seems. The causus belli is retaliation for their retaliation to our sneak attack under a ruse of a flag of truce. And rocket fuel IS toxic ya know! And everyone within 2 miles of a rocket hit qualifies for TBI and purple hearts.

This story is so transparent. They really think people are stupid and cannot see their BS.

Ok, revenge for 1979? I’m more interested in revenge for 9/11. We blow up the whole Middle East except for the one that attacked us…. the Saudi filth. Then we let the Saudis spread their wahabist propaganda and terror across Libya and Syria and installed the terrorist ISIS leader into power in Syria.
We and the Israelis fly top cover for him.

But yes, let’s get revenge for 45 years ago. And it’ll really thrill Bibi.

Freaking neocons and their regime change orgy.

As if IED’s weren’t bad enough, would the Mullah’s use “dirty” weapons (radioactive isotopes/nuclear waste) in warheads?

I wouldn’t put it past those 7th century troglodyte islamofascists to do anything and everything to expedite the return of their “twelfth imam” and bring on our Biblical apocalypse.

It’s why they’ve been working so hard to develop nukes in the first place.

It wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if the globalist rat bastards Bathhouse Barry, GW Bush and Resident Autopen did everything they could to cover this up.

Don’t think we’ve heard the last of this.

And yes, Saddam Hussein DID have chemical weapons. He USED them on Kurds, then MOVED them into Syria before GHW Bush sent in troops in desert Storm. False pretense - we KNEW - but such is war.
