FACT CHECK: Donald Trump Claims Iranian Missiles ‘Never Hit The Fort’ In 2020 Attack

Former President Donald Trump claimed that Iranian missiles “never hit the fort” and suggested troops only suffered a “headache” when Iran launched ballistic missiles against U.S. forces in Iraq in January 2020.

Verdict: False

 

The Al Asad Airbase, where U.S. troops were stationed, was hit by several ballistic missiles. While most troops who were injured returned to duty quickly, dozens were awarded the Purple Heart and were treated for traumatic brain injuries (TBI).

...

U.S. service members described the missile attack in testimonials released by U.S. Air Forces Central Command, according to Task and Purpose. For example, one airman stated that a missile hit “within 150 meters” of their bunker.
