60 Minutes, the most successful American television broadcast in history, is in its 53rd season. Offering hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews, feature segments and profiles of people in the news, the broadcast that began in 1968 is still a hit in 2020. 60 Minutes was the #1 program on Nielsen's weekly Top 10 six times last season and made the list nearly every week - usually in the top 5. The CBS News magazine still averages 10.5 million viewers - more than double the audience of its nearest network news magazine competitor and more than the most-watched daily network evening news broadcast.
About a million more people listen to the 60 Minutes radio simulcast in several major cities and on its companion podcast. Tens of thousands each week experience 60 Minutes online. The broadcast's segments can be watched at 60Minutes.com and the CBS All Access app. Its webcast, 60MinutesOvertime.com, offers content originally produced for the web only, including behind-the-scenes video about the production of 60 Minutes stories and timely archival segments.
60 Minutes has won every major broadcast award. Its 25 Peabody and nearly 160 Emmy awards are the most won by any single news program. It has also won 20 duPont Columbia University journalism awards. Other distinguished journalism honors won multiple times include the George Polk, RTDNA Edward R. Murrow, Investigative Reporters and Editors, RFK Journalism, Sigma Delta Chi and Gerald Loeb awards.
60 Minutes premiered on CBS September 24, 1968. Bill Owens is the program's executive producer. The correspondents and contributors of 60 Minutes are Sharyn Alfonsi, Anderson Cooper, John Dickerson, Norah O'Donnell, Scott Pelley, Lesley Stahl, Bill Whitaker, and L. Jon Wertheim.

Wow, but it seems like Iran did it with precise calculation. They're demonstrating their strength, much like they did with Israel, without escalating to direct conflict. Personally, I believe there's no need for Iran and the US to engage in warfare. Diplomacy, mutual respect, and direct dialogue are the most effective tools for resolving issues.

[@willp9993]

I was a contractor in Iraq and was stationed at Camp Taji airbase about 150 miles away from Al Asad when this attack happen. Working on that night we had to scramble to get a C17 off the airfield, because that attack was imminent. But that attack by Iran was just the beginning, 2 months later on March 12th Katiab Hezbolla who's commander was also killed with Soleimani, launched a rocket barrage of more than 15 rockets that killed 3 people, 2 days later another rocket barrage of more than 25 rockets luckily on 25 of the 56 fired struck our base. The Iraqi military found the launch site and the had 7 launchers set up with each launcher holding 8 rockets. During that time we had zero air defenses on the base. Crazy times

The US wants to be justify an attack on Syria or Iran and further build its international case for war with these 2 countries. Also more attacks keeps the weapons and arms share prices valuable.

The week before he was killed he posted this on his FB at the mwr: "I see a beautiful city and a brilliant people rising from this abyss. I see the lives for which I lay down my life, peaceful, useful, prosperous and happy. I see that I hold a sanctuary in their hearts, and in the hearts of their descendants, generations hence.
