CNN publishes footage from US base in Iraq hit by Iranian missiles

CNN is the first news organization to get a reporter and camera into the US base at the Al-Asad Airbase in Iraq targeted last week by Iranian missiles.

The footage shows destruction at the base, and US servicemembers interviewed by the network’s Arwa Damon describe how they huddled in the bunker while the missiles slammed into the installation and shook the ground.
