After Iran fired a barrage of missiles at the Al Asad base in Iraq, the US said it suffered zero casualties. That was not the whole story.
Eleven US troops from one of the two Iraqi military bases hit by an Iranian missile strike have been evacuated to military hospitals with concussion symptoms, the US said Thursday.
A statement from Bill Urban, a Navy captain and Central Command spokesman, said all the soldiers were expected to return to service in Iraq. President Donald Trump told the media that"no Americans were harmed" in the attack — an assessment that does not align with the news of the 11 transported soldiers.
