We are witnessing a massive buildup of air and naval power in the Middle East, and we are being told that everything could be ready for an unprecedented attack on Iran in two to three weeks. But if the U.S. strikes Iran, will the Iranians respond by using unconventional weapons? The information that I have to share with you in this article is explosive. We are potentially racing into a nightmare scenario, and most Americans are totally oblivious.
What award-winning journalist Catherine Herridge has uncovered is of the utmost importance.
She claims that she has obtained military records that indicate that U.S. military personnel were exposed to “numerous toxic agents, including radiation” when Iran hit al-Asad Air Base with missiles in 2020…
This is a major bombshell.
But so far the silence from the rest of the mainstream media has been deafening.

Nobody can deny that American service members that were there when Iranian missiles struck al-Asad Air Base have gotten extremely sick.
If those illnesses were caused by unconventional weapons, the American people deserve to know, because that is exceedingly critical information.
Attacking a nation that is not armed with unconventional weapons is one thing.
Attacking a nation that is armed with unconventional weapons is another thing altogether.
If the U.S. attacks Iran and the Iranians respond by using unconventional weapons against Israeli cities and U.S. bases throughout the Middle East, what happens then?
Would Israel use unconventional weapons against Iran?
Would we use unconventional weapons against Iran?
It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that things could escalate very rapidly.
During the 12 Day War last year, the Iranians showed restraint by only using conventional weapons.
But if the U.S. attacks Iran now, the goal would be regime change, and the nuts that are currently running Iran would likely use everything in their bag of tricks if they feel that their very survival is at stake.
Ayatollah Khamenei and his thugs have already shown that they are willing to gun down thousands of their own people in order to survive.
At this stage, HRANA is telling us that at least 3,308 protesters have been killed…
The death toll from the crackdown continues to grow as more information comes out. The D.C.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency, HRANA, now puts it at more than 3,308 protesters killed since Dec. 28.
A total of 24,266 people have been arrested in the protests since they began, including 2,107 injured protesters with serious wounds, according to HRANA.
Others are estimating that the death toll is far higher.
The Sunday Times is telling us “that at least 16,500-18,000 people have been killed”…
Figures compiled by staff in eight major eye hospitals and 16 emergency departments across the country reveal that at least 16,500-18,000 people have been killed and 330,00 to 360,000 injured, including children and pregnant women. At least 700 to 1,000 people have lost an eye. One eye hospital in Tehran alone, Noor Clinic, has documented 7,000 eye injuries. “There are so many shotgun-related eye injuries that we do not know whom to treat first,” said one ophthalmologist.
