What BBN said about it

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentBack to the CBS footage of the Iranian attack on a U.S. base in Kuwait. Lola Cruz is live on location with what's new. Lola?

Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentKenji, as we told you earlier, CBS News has video of the strike.

Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentThe new piece is that it comes from a person on the ground, per CBS.

Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentCBS says the footage shows the attack at the beginning of the war. It is about twelve minutes old.

Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentI've covered wars for twenty years, and I still hate a shaky camera.

Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentBBN's editorial angle is that this raises the risk of a broader Middle East conflict and oil supply disruption.

Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentThat is analysis, not a confirmed outcome.

Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentBehind me, a security guard has asked me to stop pointing at the building. A seagull is eating his sandwich. I will remember this seagull.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThanks, Lola. Respect for the grudge, bro. A seagull with a sandwich is basically a day trader. Back to the desk.
