EXPRESS: Terrifying video shows mangled metal of US military base after Iranian missile attack

New footage shows the aftermath of precise Iranian missile strikes on U.S. military facilities in the Middle East, with three more U.S. service members killed

New footage captures the frightening aftermath of an Iranian missile strike on a U.S. military facility in the Middle East.

The images were captured by American service members stationed in the region. The video depicts the rubble left behind after Iranian missiles struck the base.

Photos from the scene show the destruction, and the photographer wrote the caption, "From what I'm hearing, we're getting projected impact data, but the missiles are changing trajectory multiple times in flight, so the projected impact warnings are no good."

The caption went on, "Targeting data is obviously getting fed to Iran from China or Russia, because where they are impacting/what they are targeting is insanely precise."

Another ominous photo of the aftermath features a flag that reads, "Join FOG, travel to exotic places, meet interesting people, and kill them."

The phrase is said to be a classic example of dark military satire. This phrase is a spin-off of the historic "Join the Army and see the world" recruitment campaigns. It gained widespread recognition through anti-war posters, most notably the iconic 1971 design by Charles Rosner.

FOG refers to Forward Observations Group, a highly influential military lifestyle brand, media platform, and tactical apparel company.

Following announcements from the U.S. military that it conducted a 10th straight night of strikes against Iranian military infrastructure, Iran claimed to have targeted a vessel in the Strait of Hormuz along with U.S. assets in Bahrain, Jordan, and Kuwait on Tuesday. However, there was no immediate verification that any regional U.S. bases were struck.

Meanwhile, the U.S. military released the name of an American soldier killed over the weekend in Iraq during the "controlled detonation" of an Iranian drone. Previously, the Pentagon confirmed two U.S. soldiers killed during an Iranian strike on a Jordan-based air facility, which also left another service member missing in action.

1st Lt. Tyler James Feehan, 25, and Pvt. Isabella Gonzales, 19, were killed as part of the Friday attack on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan. Sgt. Michael Emmanuel Swinton of Fayetteville, North Carolina, was killed in Iraq on July 19.

According to U.S. officials speaking to CBS News, close to 100 American service members sustained injuries just this month from a series of Iranian strikes targeting various regional bases. These casualties occurred prior to the subsequent, fatal assault carried out against the military facility located in Jordan.
