Investigation: Iran Accused Of Using ‘Dirty’ Radioactive Warheads On U.S. Troops In 2020

In a stunning revelation that underscores the malevolent depths of the Iranian regime, a new investigation by Catherine Herridge suggests that the 2020 Iranian ballistic missile attack on Al Asad Air Base was far more than a conventional strike. While the public was told at the time that no Americans died, the reality is a nightmare of traumatic brain injuries and the alleged use of “dirty” warheads laced with toxic agents and radioactive materials.

According to military records obtained by Herridge’s team, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) didn’t just want to create craters in a runway; they were conducting a live-fire test of their most heinous capabilities. Retired Lieutenant Colonel Alan Johnson, who survived the attack, believes Iran intentionally deployed contaminated warheads to inflict long-term damage on American troops in retaliation for the death of Qasem Soleimani. Johnson said one specific missile had a “heat signature” entirely different from the others.

The evidence is hard to ignore. Military testing records reportedly identified radioactive isotopes like actinium-228, bismuth-214, and cesium-137 at the site — substances that experts say have no business being near a conventional missile. Retired JAG lawyer Robert Broadbent was blunt: before the attack, there was no radiation at Al Asad. After the missiles landed? The environment was toxic. The military’s own quiet admission of this reality is perhaps the most damning: every service member now deployed to the base is issued a dosimeter to monitor radiation exposure.

For the soldiers on the ground, surviving the initial blast has turned into a slow-motion catastrophe. Service members in their 20s and 30s are now facing thyroid cancer, homelessness, and mental health issues. Johnson himself is being screened for cancer, while at least six others in his group have already been diagnosed.

The investigation suggests that the IRGC bypassed the runways and specifically targeted living quarters and dining facilities to maximize the toxic exposure of U.S. personnel.
