| 0:00.0 | This is CBS Eye on the World. |
| 0:08.5 | Here's John Batchelor. |
| 0:11.6 | I welcome my colleagues, Bradley Bowman, and Ryan Brooks of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracy. |
| 0:18.1 | The day after the day after, looking at the strike on Iran's suspect nuclear weapons program |
| 0:23.9 | and the strike on the Gulf, in particular one state in the Gulf, Qatar, which is the sponsor of the largest airbase outside of the U.S., I believe, at Al-Utide. |
| 0:35.8 | Gentlemen, a very good evening to you. |

| 1:39.0 | And these missiles were all, 13 of them were intercepted by U.S. Air and Missile Defense, |
| 1:47.0 | notably the THAAD and possibly Patriot Systems, with one of the rockets apparently misfiring, |
| 1:54.4 | so it was not intercepted. |
| 1:56.6 | None of these missiles hit, and there were no casualties to U.S. forces, and Iran since then |
| 2:02.7 | signaled that it's not intending to conduct future follow-on strikes against U.S. forces in the |
